Pros:

It cleared up my oil.

Cons:

Dried out my skin, caused it to become bumpy and irritated.

Do NOT buy this product. I used it for a week and I ALWAYS moisturize my skin, however it left my skin very dry even after moisturizing. Not only that, it irritated my skin, causing it to be bumpy and raw. When I touched it, it felt as if I'd gotten a sunburn on my face. I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE.

Pros:

None really, I guess it worked for the first night or so but otherwise none.

Cons:

This product, for a lack of a better word, blows.
It stinks like hell, it dries up my skin and then
it causes even more breakouts.

It's just not worth using

Pros:

It smells nice and wakes me up, plus is cleans off my oily patches

Cons:

It is not affective it may prevent some break outs but I have severe acne and it does nothing for it but clean up access oils.

I would not recommend this product for severe acne. It does not work I used it 1 a day for 3 weeks and it did nothing for my sweat breakouts or menstrual breakouts. It was cheap but definitely not effective

Pros:

Easy to use + cleans well. I don't use any other lotions but I wear a sunscreen product in the daytime and a moisturizer at night. It improved the texture of my skin + got rid of the blackheads and pimples and prevents new breakouts

Cons:

Since I have sensitine skin, I can't use any other acne treatments while I use this cleanser because my skin would get too try and itchy so I only use this cleanser + moisturizer.

For me it's been a good and easy product to use and it greatly improved the texture and feel of my skin.

Pros:

Makes your skin smooth

Cons:

Burns, dries your skin. Most important mkes your acne MUCH, much worse.

Yes this product may be cheap but i didn't have really bad acne and when i started using it my whole face broke out. I highly recomend NOT using this product. Sensitive skin or not.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

My wife used this - her face has been SWOLLEN, BURNING, and RED for 3 days. Her EYES are almost SWOLLEN SHUT! She has been off work for 2 days. She had to see her DOCTOR and is taking MEDICATION and ICING her face

Read the WARNINGS - this sh*t bleaches and burns. This product is too strong to be put on your face! We think it was caused by the cleanser b/c the acne spot treatment was only put on a few places. She spent $25 to miss work, swell up, be in pain, see a doctor, and buy more medication. She has never had this kind of problem with any other product. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Pros:

Doesn't seem to bother my skin, and removes oil and makeup

Cons:

Didn't do much in the way of clearing breakouts, or preventing them. Just sort of kept my skin where it was to begin with

A pretty good product if used in combination with some other acne fighting products. By itself, the effect is rather minimal. Some areas certainly appeared better, but I have a feeling that was because of some other things I have been using as well. Clean and Clear products by the way.

Pros:

worked somewhat

Cons:

dried out skin terribly to the point my face was beginning to crack and bleed

Very harsh stuff if you have sensitive skin.
