Pros:

Leaves your skin with a different, beautiful tone, pores seem smaller, smells good, good ingredients for skin.

Cons:

Salicylic Acid in the product does makes skin DRY

I liked the product until i mixed it with BP. I'm not sure this product would work good with the Regimen because the B.Peroxide will make your skin dried out already. But if you really want to try it, get a great moisturizer, i recommend Aveno Ultra-Calming, it takes care of irritated skin like magic and smells amazing.

Pros:

Clears the bumps && whiteheads off my face and makes my face smooth. Its also easy to apply and rinse off.

Cons:

Makes my face dry after rinsing so i have to put vaseline on it as moisturizer. Althogh it stops my acne from coming back it didn't take away the marks on my face from my old acne.

Its alright if you want to get rid of your acne. But if you have acne marks that you want to get rid off don't purchase because it won't take the marks away.

Pros:

i like the product. it easily exfoliated my skin and i could notice the difference in my skins texture.

Cons:

i notice that with using this product you have to stay consistant. and us a light mosturizer. and a b/p acne spot treatment. i still will break out but not as much.

i always wanted to try the product and im glad that i did. it helps me to stabilize the acne. and after trying so many products i feel its the gentlest with out too much drying, and that has always been hard problem to solve.

Pros:

Leaves skin soft
Smells nice
Is gentle
Contains Salicylic Acid so fights pimples

Cons:

No real advantage for acne, other than being gentle

I love this, I will continue to use it just because it doesn't make my skin any worse and it is gentle and easy ( zero scrubbing). I am trying to be gentle with my face so this is basically it. I combine it with 2.5% benzyl peroxide for tough spots and neutrogena oil free moisturiser for combination skin as a moisturizer. I also treat with vitamin e oil and manuka honey on occasion when I feel like getting sticky.

Pros:

Makes my skin feel very soft after use.
Skin started to tone altogether after a few uses.
Not a bad smell.

Cons:

None

I've been using this product for a few days and I already notice a slight difference in my skin tone. It looks like it's slowly but surely coming all together. Then again, I've only been using it for a few days so we'll see. Overall, good product. I also use the Aveeno "Positively Radiant" moisturizer with SPF. Also another product I definitely recommend.

Pros:

makes face soft, smells nice, not greesy, rinses off clean, reduces acne and redness.

Cons:

After 3 days of use I developed an itchy reation similar to the one I get when I use aloe vera, sodium hydroxide or any type of hydroxy containing product. I tried to see if this product contains any of my known allergens but can't find out.

I have to stop using it. Ugh!!!

Pros:

Smells nice. Packaging is great, I love how it pumps. Easy to apply and wash off( you just need one pump).

Cons:

It may dry your face a little. Should be used only if you have moderately oily to oily skin.

Works great so far. I'll see how it goes.

Pros:

Light Foam

Fresh Scent

No More Redness

Prevents Blemishes

Cons:

Flaking of the nose cause by dehydration

Not prominent of removing blemishes

Not the best acne fighting cleanser on the market, but it is good in preventing breakouts and dries out existing blemishes. Works great on skin with LIGHT acne. Not to be treated with moderate or severe. If you do, do not expect great results.

Pros:

-Smells great
-Fun to use
-Makes skin feel soft
-Perfect clean feeling
-Clears away oil, dirt, and makeup
-Great for sensitive skin
-Good base for other products
-Keeps acne under control

Cons:

-Doesn't clear acne (like it's supposed to)

I love this cleanser! I have been using it for years, and I only use this. It is a great mild cleanser and I absolutly love it. I've read that cleansers with powerful anti-acne fighters are pretty much useless because you end up rinsing them off anyway and the ingredients don't have time to penetrate. That's why I said it's a great "base" for me. It doesn't clear my skin, but it cleans it and works great. Also, like ANY other cleanser you must use a moisterizer. I use the clear complexion one, but any oil-free one will work. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Pros:

Evens out skin tone dramaticly (note: Little brown spots and post acne marks) . Affordable compared to Murad and such. If you have light acne its worth the 11 bucks.

Cons:

DRYING. but only on my nose so i avoid that and wash everything else. ( honestly all cleansers to that to me)

Its worth it! my favorite cleanser. you have to figure out how to use it with your skin . Cleared up all my acne except some of the cysts but i have clear glowing skin now. PS USE LOTS OF AVEENO LOTION! and i use vasline on my super dry spots
