Excellent wash. Been using it for two weeks and already notice a marked change

Pros:

Prevents breakout (RELIEF... now can work on existing pimples)
Dries up existing pimples, makes them look smaller
Improves complexion DRASTICALLY

Cons:

Skin might get dry, might have to use some water-based moisturiser
Have to keep it on for 5 minutes

I have had acne since I entered my teens and now I am 21. A year back, I was on accutane, and my skin cleared perfectly. However, 6 months later, my acne came back with vengeance, and I was totally against using accutane or any strong drugs again. So I told my derma to prescribe my mild stuff. I was prescribed clindamycin, which is really mild on skin. And this wash. And my oh my.... WHAT A CHANGE! After the first wash, my skin looked noticeably brighter. After a couple of days, I noticed all my active pimples were dry, and there hadn't been any eruptions either, which is saying something, considering the fact that I was erupting at the rate of like 3-4 zits every day! This wash has antibacterial properties, which prevents the formation of new acne. It dries up existing pimples too. They seriously look considerably smaller. The best part is, my skin looks brighter after a wash. There's a matte finish, which can even lead to dryness occassionally, but nothing that cannot be dealt with, with a water-based moisturiser. Black heads, white heads and blemishes are also disappearing and it has been only two weeks! I will seriously continue using this product....

Pros:

disclaimer** I've only used the liquid face and body wash since the "antibacterial" foam does not seem to be available in the US*** I like this liquid soap despite it's funky green color and unusual smell. It doesn't leave my skin dry, tight, or greasy, and my skin hasn't broken out as much since I've been using it. (I was experiencing breakouts after finishing accutane for the 2nd time.) It also comes in a big pump bottle which seems to last a while (got it at a CVS). I imagine the PH balance h

Cons:

Funky smell, but I can deal with it. This might be due to some of the ingredients.

Try it.... worst case scenario is that if your face doesn't clear up slightly, you can use the remaining soap for the rest of your body.

Pros:

It seems to have helped my acne
Affordable

Cons:

Leaves a film
Really bitter tasting (it somehow inevitably gets in my mouth when I rinse it off! Blech!)
Must leave on face for 5 minutes

This was the cheaper and less recommended acne product at our local supplement store. It was the only one of the three available brands that didn't contain parabens, so I decided to try it out anyway. The foam is pleasant smelling, and feels very gentle (however, it seems to do a good job removing the little bit of mineral makeup I sometimes wear). It does seem like there is a slight film left on my face after I rinse the product off, which is kind of annoying. However, after about a month of using it (along with the toner and care gel), I can say that I do see an improvement in my skin.
