Pros:

Leaves your skin feeling soft and refreshed

Cons:

Does nothing for acne

If you have minor acne, I would go ahead and try it, otherwise save your money.

I've been using this product for about 3 months now and my acne is the same. It doesn't do anything for it. If you want a facial cleanser that just cleans then this will work. It's absolutely useless when it comes to breakouts. Plus, the pump broke after about two uses. I had to switch the cleanser to a different bottle and make the foam myself.

Not awful, not great

Pros:

Inexpensive
Smells nice
Easy to find

Cons:

A cleanser that doesn't clean

This cleanser is fairly gentle and inexpensive, but it just doesn't get the job done. It probably won't make your skin worse, but it's not going to help you either, unless you've only got mild breakouts/blackheads. If you have sensitive skin, I'd stay away because this was slightly drying. Not recommended for moderate acne. It also won't help with any cysts.

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.
