Pros:

Clean thoroughly
Removes dirt & oil as promised
Lathers well
Smells good
Helps clear mild acne
Helps prevent mild acne

Cons:

Does not clear severe acne
Can irritate severe acne
May irritate sensitive skin

This is a great cleanser for thoroughly cleaning skin, clearing mild acne, and preventing acne. I had to stop using this product when my acne worsened, as it irritated the acne. But, I started using it after my my acne got better. So basically, I'd recommend this to all skin types, except severely acne prone or sensitive skin.

Excellent for management of moderate acne
This product seems like a great cleanser for mild to moderate acne. Based on my experiences, salicylic acid does not completely remove acne; however it is extremely beneficial for prevention of new acne and to keep things under control. To be specific about the face wash, I would say it lathers quite well and produces a healthy amount of suds, very similar to plain soaps. The sudsing feature of the wash is excellent for people who desire a "clean" skin feeling or people who simply have oily skin. I would advise people with sensitive skin to look elsewhere as it does have a tendency to be over drying and can cause unwarranted irritation. The menthol in the wash produces that "tingly" feeling when using the wash. I don't think adding the menthol was justified as it can increase irritation when combined with salicylic acid and produces no benefits except for a cooling sensation. The menthol is the reason for the four star rating as opposed to five. Overall, this face wash is one of the better salicylic acid washes I've tried, I would not however recommend it for people with sensitive skin as the higher concentration of salicylic acid combined with the menthol may produce objectionable effects on delicate skin. I would recommend a recommendation of 1-1.5% salicylic acid for those individuals. For normal to oily skin I highly recommend this product and it can greatly benefit people with mild acne and control moderate acne.

Pros:

-feels good
-not too harsh
-leaves skin with a clean feeling

Cons:

-doesn't work very fast

The product is good. I mean I have been using it for about 2 weeks and it have seen only slight results, which i guess is good. However, the product really does leave my skin feeling nice and clean

Pros:

Gets down deep into poors
Really feels like you're holding a handful of ice up to your face
Nice dispenser, easy to use

Cons:

The smell of the cleanser can be a little overwhelming.
Has menthol in it, which can sometimes be an ingredient that "tricks" you into thinking your face is clean.

This cleanser actually works, it does a drying effect, but it's nothing a little lotion can't fix. It cleared my blackheads that i had around my nose, but i was still getting breakouts. The weird thing is that, everytime i used it, it caused my cheeks and chin to become all red so it was sort of embarassing, especially when i used it in the morning. Over all, it worked well.

Pros:

Cleans well; removes foundation if you double cleanse; feels fresh; smells great; clears acne better than more expensive products

Cons:

Too harsh to use around eyes; should probably be used after removing makeup

I love this product, though I must say I dislike having to remove my makeup with cleansing towelettes before I even wash my face. Despite not removing makeup in one easy washing, this product does clean my skin well and leaves it feeling fresh but not tight. It smells, to me, like eucalyptus, which is great because I'm used to menthol-y washes smelling like generic mint. My face is very prone to redness and sensitivity, but this doesn't seem to cause any excess irritation, which is a major plus for someone used to using unscented washes. I really recommend this; I get pimples, but my biggest problem is tons of clogged pores, and this works for me.

Pros:

Nice smell
feels great
clears up acne

Cons:

can be drying

I use this product twice a day as part of a regimen with witch hazel and a light moisturizer. It seems to have helped even out my skin tone and reduce my acne. However the benefits can wear off if you use it continuously. I switch off every week with a different face wash to keep the benefits from plateauing and so far it has worked for me.

Pros:

Left my skin feeling very smooth (a feel which I usually dont get as I'm a very oily skin type).

You can only use a small drop of the cleanser and it lathers up extremely well.

Cons:

You only start to see some results after about Day 3/4 of using the cleanser.

A bit pricey but does the job.

I have very oily skin and it makes your skin feel smooth and like all the rough bits of your face have simply been washed away. Not a miracle maker though (although I have only been using it for about a week :P)
