Pros:

Smells beautiful; inexpensive; decreased size of whiteheads.

Cons:

Gave me dry, flaky, wrinkly skin; red marks; blemishes; stings.

I have oily skin and let me tell you, this product irritated my skin so bad. After two days of using this product, it has made my nose, forehead and jawline wrinkly and flaky! I've never had these areas affected this way - I think it's due to the large amount of salicylic acid. Furthermore, this product made it impossible to apply make up on my face. I'm desperate to get the dryness cleared up again. On the bright side, it decreased size of my whiteheads but left me blemishes all over my face! :( This product is inexpensive and maybe worth a try if you have very very oily skin.

Pros:

It makes your skin feeling nice and clean.

Cons:

It stings a little, but not too much.

It helped clear up my acne; but I still used other things besides this and a cleanser. I use deep cleansing masks that you find at Walmart. You find them by the lotion and stuff, not by the face cleansers. They are single packaged, cost about a dollar or two (they are clay based). I used them everyday for about a week and my acne went from a 30+ pimples to 5 pimples! But the thing is, you HAVE to moisturize!!! And guess what?! I stopped cleansing my face at night for about 5 days (I really have to cleanse my face at night and in the morning because I have very oily skin) and I still had only a few pimples!! But the thing is, you have to use clean your face (use this Biore stuff and some good moisturizer too) and use the mask once every week.

Pros:

Smells light and fresh with a hint of cucumber, not sweet or intense like practically all the others

Cons:

Only that I can't find it in some drug stores! Why can it be hard to find?? I LOVE THIS STUFF

I'm 44 with adult acne! After years of trying everything from Benzamycin to Buff Puffs to Retin-A, here's my regimen. My skin is like GLASS if I don't get lazy! I swear, it even looks younger . I get a lot of compliments on my complexion! Here's what I do: Wash morning and night with regular soap and washcloth. Rinse, pat dry. Next, I lightly spray my face with a Burt's Bees product, such as "Carrot Seed Oil" or "Lavender" skin sprays (smell wonderfully fresh). These natural botanical essential oils "trick" your skin into NOT pumping out so much sebum! Also keeps the Biore astringent from burning skin or being harsh. These products do not clog. Your skin will not feel oily. It's instantly absorbed! So I spread its light wetness around, face and neck, but it's gone in seconds. Finally, I dispense Biore astringent on my fingertips and spread on my problem areas. Bingo. Done. Flawless skin if I don't get lazy or forget to use!

Made me Breakout with panful pimples on one side of my face.

I been using this product for a week and it was really helping with my oily skin however, i didnt have a problem with acne before. I just wanted to get rid of the oil on my face and it caused me to brekout with theses horrible pimples on my right jaw line area. I have never had acne this bad in one spot on my face. I quit using it.
