Pros:

-Made my skin soft
-worked for a couple weeks

Cons:

-Worked for a little bit, but after using it for to long it stopped working.
-Makes my skin really oily now

I started using this product when it was around the beginning of December 2010. it worked for a bit but stopped and i started to break out on my chin and i never use to break out on my chin. i also started having large pimples and my skin became more oily. I am still using it because i still have hope but if i don't see progress I'm just going to stop.

Pros:

Good for spot treatment and getting rid of smaller pimples.

Cons:

Doesn't work for larger (cystic) pimples.
Doesn't get rid of clogged pores.
It is a little drying (even though I have oily skin).

If you have one or two pimples that you are trying to get rid of a few days before an important event, this is good for that occasion. However, I would definitely recommend sticking with the Regimen and AHA+ to get rid of acne on your T-zone and cheeks like I have.

Pros:

leaves your skin verry soft as long as you use a moisturizer with it.

Cons:

doesn't really help clear acne that much

this is a great product for me. don't expect it to clear your face though. it can help a little but its main selling point for me is how soft it makes your face when used with a moisturizer.

Pros:

Smells nice
Does not over-dry

Cons:

Burns a little
Causes some redness
Broke out all of my cheeks

After one use of this cleanser my cheeks got red and broke out. Now I have a huge red pimple on my cheek and I am not happy. I will not use this again, and I wasted my money.

Pros:

It doesn't sting like other spot treatments, feels very soothing on skin.

Cons:

It's not strong enough to prevent or cure breakout.

I have always been a fan of Neutrogena, but this product was a major dissappointment. I used it for almost a month, hoping to see the difference. Unfortunately, it did nothing to help my acne. So I switched to the Rapid Clear 2-in-1 and I'm loving it :)

Pros:

Love the smell.
Love how it cleans my skin.

Cons:

I wish it exfoliated my skin.
Wish it cured my acne. :)

Cleans really well. It didn't necessarily cure my acne, but it helped with the cleansing.

Pros:

- doesn't clog pores
- not irritating
- can be used under make-up
- light scent
- minimizes redness and size of lesions
- helps with healing

Cons:

- doesn't work right away
- needs some time to absorb
- you have to apply it 3 times or you won't notice much of an effect

I was using aveeno clear complexion for almost 2 years and it worked beautifully but it was always a little heavy on my skin and because its so expensive i (stupidly) used a bottle that may have been a little old and therefore full of bacteria which made me break out. I stopped using the product all together and my skin just hasn't been the same. i used to get one or two pimples prior to my menstrual cycle but i was now breaking out throughout the month. I went into shoppers the other day and saw this, it seemed to have a lot of the benefits I needed in an acne treatment. The first night i used it and it didn't seem to have much of an effect but as I continue using it, i can see my skin going back to normal again which is so relieving after struggling with mild acne for close to 6 months now. I am also in the period of the month where i would normally break out hormonally and its helping to clear up hormonal related pimples which I thought only the pill/antibiotic could do. if you have hormonal/mild acne and some patience this product will not completely eliminate your acne but will help you regain confidence and lessen the need for makeup and other products that irritate your skin.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Made my face waxy, waster of money, didn't work at all and doesn't clean

I bought this product because the word "Stress" was appealing well, it didn't clean my face at all it just left a waxy build up on my face. After washing my face with this I'd use Neutrogena Stess alcohol wipes and those took the dirt off my face that the wash didn't. This product is useless.
