Pros:

Fresh smell
Doesn't sting or cause discomfort
Eliminated a zit on my lip line

Cons:

Made my acne worse
Drying, but moisturizer can help that

I had very high hopes for Hibiclens, but after using it consistently for 2-3 weeks, it has managed to make my acne worse. I have cystic acne on my lower cheeks and it didn't improve it at all. But now I have break outs all over my forehead (previously clear), chin, upper cheeks, and neck. You know those zits that pop up right at your lip line and hurt and look hideous for weeks? Hibiclens totally got rid of a budding zit I had there. In the future I won't use Hibiclens as an all-over facial cleanser, but if I get a zit on my lipline again I know exactly how to get rid of it: Hibiclens.

Pros:

my skin improved VERY slightly

Cons:

runny texture makes it difficult to use, doesn't foam up and is kind of weird to wash with, I had to order it online, the pump is impossible to travel with, and honestly I'm kind of scared by the "you could go blind" warning on the back.

I just use it for my back now (i'm afraid of putting it near my eyes), but it doesn't do anything for my back either. big disappointment after reading all these rave reviews.
