Pros:

Smells so scrumptious
Works like a charm
Evened out sun spots and took away blemishes

Cons:

Got a rash cause I used too much and my face got super dry...eheheh.

Since I live in Hawaii I'm out in the sun a lot so I get sun spots on my face. This cleanser toned my face amazingly. I don't have acne, just the occasional pimple shows up and this greatly decreased it. My nose also looks a lot more smoother and my face overall has that milky nice look! So bottom line is it's awesome yo.

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:

Seems to work well, good foaming cleanser, nice smell, leaves skin feeling clean and reduces redness, swelling.

Cons:

None that I have seen yet.

I would recommend this product over some of the other harsher products I have used in the past. I tend to buy more Aveeno products, because it has a a good name, since it is oatmeal based, it is better for your skin than some of the other harsher stuff on the maket today.

Pros:

This is the only product I can use on my face and it doesn't irritate it! It works wonders. Controls my acne and keeps my skin clear and smooth. Better and cheaper than proactive!

Cons:

Some drying but I also use Aveeno moisturizer for that so I really can't tell that much at all!

Bottom line...It does what it's suppose to do, for me anywayz. We all have different skin types but I found it to be the only one that will do the job for me.

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:

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:

Helped calm down redness and overall size of acne, kept it smooth

Cons:

Dries out skin, had to use a moisturizer with it
Had an allergic reaction to the product after a week, rash bumps

I have combination skin, and the product did work well at reducing redness and size of acne, but it never completely got rid of it, even after a month. Also, it claims to be "hypoallergenic", yet I still managed to get a rash from something in the product. Bottom line is, it's not really worth buying. It doesn't get rid of acne, and it may have allergens in it.

Pros:

Cleans well, not an overwhelming fragrance, you don't need very much of the product because it lathers very well for a foam.

Cons:

Very drying (everything is for me), I don't love the smell

It keeps my breakouts under control.
