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:

I've been using this product for about a week now, and while I can't see any huge difference in the clarity of my skin, it's made my skin incredibly supple and soft.

Cons:

It's slightly drying if you use it twice a day like I do. However, I live in a cold climate (especially this week), so that might be why. To combat this I bought the matching moisturizer today.

A+.

Pros:

Leaves my skin feeling and looking soft and clean, and more even-toned than after using a harsher cleanser or scrub. Takes off eye-makeup! Concentration of salicylic acid is only 0.5% so it is unlikely to irritate most people.

Cons:

Packaging: the pump sticks every time. But it does have a plastic cap to cover the pump, so it is very convenient for (non-airline) travel. People who are *extremely* allergic to salicylic acid should not use this.

This foamy cleanser is fun to use, and will take off ALL makeup in just one easy, deep-cleaning, gentle step... so there's no excuse for falling asleep in your make-up anymore, ladies! ;p You will, of course, still need to use a topical treatment like Benzoyl Peroxide as a spot treatment or on trouble areas to get clear skin, but that is true with all cleansers. I have been using this off and on for a year, but started using it consistently over the last few weeks as I am trying to break my addiction to apricot scrubs. I do find that I still feel like I need to use a scrub every few days for some extra exfoliation, but, hey, I'm an addict! My skin is not totally clear, but I had a horrible breakout a couple of weeks ago, and I am finding that it is healing well since I started using this. Worth the $7 to try it if you wear makeup, as even if you don't love it, you will sometimes reach for this at the end of a long night to cleanse your face quickly before falling asleep.

Pros:

The smell, it makes my skin soft and looks clear and clean. Keeps acne at bay. Follow up with a moisturizer or the astringent that goes with this works awesome! Maybe some spot treatments of BP for ppl with moderate/severe acne.

Cons:

Pump breaks

Love it!

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.
