very drying
I am an African American teen and the Essentials Deep Cleaning Astringent or toner caused so much dryness and irritation. My skin is oily around my T-zone and this actually made my skin very dry. It was drying out the pimples but also dried out my skin causing a burning sensation. I think this product would be much better if it didn't not include alcohol and was unscented for people with sensitive skin like me.

Pros:

-somewhat helps acne
-feels good when it's on your face
-makes skin feel clean

Cons:

-doesn't completely clear acne
-doesn't prevent breakouts

I bought the little kit with a small bottle of moisturizer and the spot treatment and it worked a little bit, but not significantly. I wouldn't use it again, it just didn't work.

Cons:

The ingredients in this facial cleanser are nothing new and extremely overpriced. It burned my skin when I first put it on and after using it for a week I had to stop because it I had an allergic reaction to this cleanser.

If you have sensitive skin do not use this product, I used it for about a week and my face turned bright red and my acne got even worse. I had to stop using anything on my face for a month or two because of the damagde this product caused. And honestly there are so many better options out there. Just washing your skin once or twice daily with a gentle cleanser can help just as much as this product.

Pros:

made my skin less oily

Cons:

made my skin red and inflamed if i used it too long or too often

not very good, any you MUST use it twice a day EVERY DAY if you want any results at all...not the best thing I've tried

Pros:

Good price. With online the coupon combined with a store sale, I ended up paying only $9.99. Easy to use tubes, sensible packaging. Smells great, but might as well just be face perfume.

Cons:

Made me break out worse than anything I've ever seen on my own skin. Extremely large, almost boil-like, pimples mainly along my hairline and chin. HORRIBLE!!

I have pretty oily combination skin and I know i NEED exfoliation, which this product has none of. It just didn't work for me AT ALL. Best of luck!!

Pros:

The bottle tempted me to get it - so, good advertising

Cons:

A lot

I don't have acne. My skin is sensitive though, and I do breakout every now and then and get blemishes. When I used this product(on Christmas day) my skin got all red, irritated, and dried out. My face is still burning after 24 hours of applying it. It was expensive as well, and when I put my makeup on, my skin got all flaky and you couldn'y cover up all the red. This product was terrible for me, and my skin type is sensitive, I don't have acne, but yes I have blemishes.

Pros:

It smells good and feels good when using it.

Cons:

My face felt really dry and stretched out after using it. It dries up the face pretty bad. The area around my mouth, nose and mostly my T-zone are really dry and i have small rashes.

My face feels rough, i've seen no change with my acne.

Pros:

smells nice

Cons:

everything. it makes your skin dry and flaky. DOES NOT WORK!

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. if you have normal skin like i used to have it will become dry and flaky. you wont be able to cover up anything with makeup because it doesnt go on nice with flaky skin. the medication helped the slittest bit the first couple of days but after that i brokeout like i had never brokenout before. it was horrible!!! now i cant get my skin back to how it was. dont waste your money on this crap, instead go for a more natural remedy like lemon juice and if that doesnt work, try apple cider vinigar- much better than any acne treatment i ever tried. GOOD LUCK!
