Pros:

Cleans skin without stripping it too much.
Doesn't make me break out.

Cons:

Don't see much difference in redness, but I suppose it doesn't MAKE it red like some cleansers.
Is sometimes still too drying for my skin in the winter months.

I like this cleanser for the simple reason that it doesn't give me problems. When my skin gets too dry (which is rare), I alternate with Cetaphil.

Pros:

smells GREAT which makes it pleasant to use.Is not irritating to any areas other than pimples.leaves your skin in much better condition than harsher cleansers.As for the redness it does not increase it but has not soothed it either.

Cons:

no visable changes in skin or acne but no new break outs either.

I would reccomend this as a use 2 times a day cleanser for those who can keep up with that.

Pros:

* Felt refreshing
* Smelled nice
* Didn't cause any new problems

Cons:

* Didn't do what it claimed to do
* Doesn't work

Ay ay ay :( Yet another bad review but this didn't work or live up to its claims. I believe the bottle says "Redness Soothing" and it didnt sooth anything. Yeah sure it felt good on the face but when the oil was produced on my skin, it felt like the same before I tried the product. The red bumps were still red and it didn't clear anything so I just gave up on it. I don't know whether in the long haul it is good or not but im not patient enought to find out.

Pros:

-Reduces acne redness by A LOT
-Leaves skin feeling mostirized
-Leaves skin feeling cleansed

Cons:

-Felt irritated on my sensitive skin
-Smelt like deoderant

I used this for a couple of days and it DID reduce my redness of ance. I reconmmend it if you have redness. I have sensitive skin, so it really irritated it.

Pros:

-makes the skin feel smooth & refreshed
-decreases the appearance of the redness of scars
-feels great to cleanse the skin if oily or from after a workout

Cons:

-the decrease of redness doesnt last as long as I would like
-everytime I pack the bottle to go away for the weekend it leaks a lot

Yes it does help the redness of acne scars. I wish that it would reduce the redness and then kept on making it get less red and less red, rather it decreases the redness then goes back to its normal red in a day and then you use the product again to make it go back down. I don't know if it helps with acne because I am thankfully acne free because of other products but it hasn't irritated it or caused acne to come back. I have bought this product probably ten times and would recommend this product for reducing acne scars and helping self esteem when it comes to acne scars.

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling smooth and clean. Gentle on your skin. Effective if you have oily skin. Skin feels calmer and not as irritated. Smells fresh and i liked the lime green color. Nice packaging

Cons:

None so far

I like this product. It is simple enough to just cleanse my skin while depositing some salycic acid into my skin that helped the turnover of old skin cells. I am pleased :)

Pros:

feels clean

Cons:

stung-dried out my skin
didnt help much with acne

i have sensative skin and this dried me out which didnt help me with my acne, if you have oily skin go for it the packaging totally sucks, if you tip the top downward the product leeks out and begins to smell nasty

Pros:

It leaves your skin feeling refreshed.

Cons:

Doesn't help w/ redness or acne, AT ALL.

This is my 4th Neutrogena product that I've used, and just like the rest, I hate it. I used it consistently for about 2 or 3 months hoping to see results, but nothing changed. I'm not impressed by Neutrogena products because none of them seem to work.

Pros:

Cons:

WASTED MY MONEY!

Bottom line is simple, dont use it :D

Pros:

Smelled nice

Cons:

Too watery
Made me breakout

I was fooled by this product in the beginning because I thought it was actually working. Right after I washed my face, my face seemed smoother and my red marks didn't seem as prominent. After about two weeks, I had a bunch of clogged pores in places I never breakout. I realized this product was the culprit, since I hadn't changed anything else in my routine. Save your money on this one, I don't think it has acne friendly ingredients, I just wish I had done more research before buying this pimple producer!
