Pros:

Very economical since it takes very little to make a good lather. Made my skin less red and nice and smooth. Cleared up breakouts somewhat, not completely gone

Cons:

Caused dryness and flaking around nose which required the use of a separate moisturizer

I have had adult acne (54 yrs old) for about 8 years. Used b/p products before but always had to stop and let skin recover from excess dryness and mild rash every little bit. I use this twice a day.Aveeno works best for me when followed by a salicylic acid moisturizer. The best moisturizer for me is L'Oreal Tone step 3, but my local stores have stopped carrying it, so I have been using Clean and Clear which doesn't work nearly as well. The best thing about Aveeno is the reduction of redness

Pros:

Lovely smell
Pump
Foam
Cheap (in US)
Cute bottle with lid

Cons:

Cystic acne all over face
Soy protein reaction (cysts)

I loved this cleanser at first. However, after about a week I started breaking out really bad with cystic acne. I belive it was from soy-protein that it contains. I returned it.

Pros:

-Light
-Clean and Refreshing Smell
-Absorbs into skin well
-Helped Reduce redness

Cons:

-Pricey (but worth it!)

It has helped the discolouration in my skin, making it look healthier and clearer. Its expensive here, but its DEFINITELY WORTH saving up for! People keep on complimenting me on my clear skin. :)

Pros:

Keeps my acne under control and is both affordable and easily accessible.

Cons:

The only thing that might be a negative is I use a lot of pumps to make sure I have enough for what I think is an effective cleansing.

I would strongly recommend it, and this comes after years upon years of trying so many different things. I just wrote in post that I've read reviews that it dries out your skin. I personally haven't had that problem, but to be on the safe side I decided to only use this cleanser once a day. My skin gets oiliest when I sleep so I wash my face with it before I go to bed. It's the first over the counter product I've really been happy with.

Pros:

it cleans well. has a nice scent. great for sensitive skin

Cons:

has it made a difference for me? I can't really tell. It's pretty expensive tho

I like that it smells nice. Probably better for people with light acne or people who are using a harsh topical ointment and want a cleanser with salicylic acid. It didn't irritate my skin at all. Tho its a lil expensive, if you want a very gentle acne wash, go for this.

Pros:

This cleanser is gentle and light, and helped keep my skin clear.

Cons:

If you visit [link removed] you will see that this product actually has a lot of ingredients that are bad for you. Also, I found it expensive.

I like this product, but I don't think I will use it again after reading about how dangerous it is. I think I want something non-carcinogenic. Please visit the link: [link removed]

Pros:

Nice lather and smell.

Cons:

Causes more than normal break-outs.

I used this product for a week and my face was getting bad so i stopped for 2 days and then my face started to clear up. I tried it again and thought it could have been an "intial breakout" but after 4 days IM DONE!! I have acne in the places I never even had acne before. Quite aggervating!

Pros:

Easy to use
Lasts a long time

Cons:

Caused breakouts

I gave this the benefit of the doubt, despite reading a number of reviews that claimed it wouldn't work well for anyone with more than mild acne. It seemed alright at first. My skin settled down for about two weeks, then I broke out strongly on my forehead and upper cheeks. I also used it for my chest and shoulders. It worked better there, for whatever reason. This may have worked for me if I wasn't using it every night, but it's hard to tell.
