Pros:

Helped redness and swelling a little bit.

Cons:

Did not really help my breakouts, was drying to my skin.

Might be good for those with very oily skin, but not drier sensitive skin. I DO, however, like the Green Tea Scrub, but I mix it with a creamier moisturizing cleanser so it's not as harsh. That seems to work well.

Pros:

removes makeup, cleans well, not too drying once your skin gets used to it

Cons:

can be drying until your skin gets used to it ans super expensive if your order from overseas!

I ordered this online and the shipping was $80!! when i first started using this product it was quite drying and made my skin peel but now i have been using it morning and night with the Green Tea Scrub (only at night) and followed by BP and Dan's AHA (only at night)and it is great and the dryness has gone. I would recommend this however if you are in Australia don't order it online look for a similar product that is available here.

Pros:

Smells fine, color is fine, lathers GREAT!

Cons:

The smell (acidic tea?), STINGS!!, awkward to use.

I like this product, but it seems too harsh for me. The salicylic acid is really not that effective.

Pros:

Smells nice, WORKS! Makes skin smooth and soft.

Cons:

None.

Bought it once and saw great improvement, but it ran out....Then I started breaking out again. Recently decided to buy it again, and my skin looks better!

Pros:

-Doesn't smell bad
- Cleanses well

Cons:

- Very, very drying for those who don't have very oily skin.

I had used another version of this years ago, and it worked fantastically. They stopped making it, and I switched to Clean and Clear Continuous Cleanser, which worked okay, but I would have cystic breakouts on my chin. I jumped at the chance to use this again. It worked great for the first few days, cleared everything up. Then after a couple of days it dried my skin so bad it actually cracked in a couple of places (even with moisturizer).

Pros:

face feels fresh and clean...

Cons:

after 2 weeks of use my face started to break out... Before using this product I was on Dans BP regimen and my face actually responded well to it. A big mistake adding St. Ives green tea cleanser.

This cleanser might work for some people...

Pros:

1. Skin feels smooth
2. Thats about it

Cons:

1. Felt like it was working but then BAM! I start breaking out on my forehead, in which I never do!

I didnt like this one so I gave the other one (green tree SCRUB...this one is magic!..try this one for sure over this one)
