Pros:

It stopped the production of acne

Cons:

It didn't clear my acne
Burns if you don't wash it of for over a minute

I would recommend using another cleanser along with this one because all this cleanser did was stop zits from popping up.

Pros:

Smells great, works wonderfully for the first month, lasts longer than I expected it would

Cons:

It stops working after about a month or two

This worked wonders for my acne the first month or two I used it. It smells great too. However, after those first two months, my acne came back with a vengeance and I had to switch to something else. I've yet to find anything at the drug store that works :(

Pros:

Smells good, pretty packaging. That's about it.

Cons:

Dries out skin
Not beneficial to acne
Does not even out skin tone

I bought this without really reading the label. My friend recommended I buy it, so I did. I only realized it was a foaming cleanser when I got home and tried it. I heard foaming cleansers are bad for your skin and can cause excessive drying. It did so. I washed my face with it, and despite that it says it will moisturize your skin, mine felt tight and uncomfortable. Then I started flaking. Despite this, it didn't get rid of my acne (Which was mild. This shows how ineffective this cleanser is). In fact, I think it made it worse. I started to get bumps on my skin which are not inflamed but just look wierd, so I gave up with this cleanser. I use it as a hand soap now. I'm trying to get my skin back to normal

Dries out skin for the first time you use it, but after that pimples clear up. :) don't use with other acne products, will dry out skin.

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:

Felt nice, at first.

Cons:

In combination with the clear complexion moisturizer, my skin became extremely oily and caused me to break out.

So far I don't like it, but maybe I should try it longer.
