Pros:

After using this product, my face feels sooo smooth. I hugged a lady yesterday and she said, "oh, her skin is as soft as a baby's bottom." I thought that the was so cute and I felt great about the product!

Cons:

After using the mask, my face burned just a bit.... but it was okay because that's how I knew it was working:)

It works for some and not for others, so you should try at your own risk:) It worked for me, and the little acne that I had is even clearer now.

Pros:

It's such a popular product, it is often out of stock in my area. Bleaches some fabrics.

Cons:

Works!

Only product that works for me. I use it ever day and night, and I am blemish free. Although, when the stores are out, I tend to break out again. I use it in the shower. I apply wet to the face, and leave it on while, I clean the rest of my body, and then rinse. You should use an oil free moisturizer, as it could dry out sensitive skin, or if you live in an arid/dry location.

Pros:

-leaves skin feeling soft (after cleansing)
-on sale! At walgreens for 6 dollars.
-smells okay!

Cons:

-do not use as mask.
-regular price= $9 +tax

WARNING: DO NOT use as a mask. Left my face super red (sunburn-like) for about an hour. Reccomended way to use: 1-cleanse throughly. 2- use a scrub after: I use Neutrogena's pink grapefruit scrub, which works well and smells great. Make sure you scrub gently but for about five minutes. 3- Pat, don't rub dry! <------- super important. 4- Use a Neutrogena on-the-spot treatment, with benzoyl peroxide of 2.5%. 5- Do this twice a day! Last of all, good luck! :)

Pros:

-Clears up existing acne
-Satisfying to wash off
-When used on whiteheads, decreases the chances of a scar appearing afterward

Cons:

-Makes my eyes sting and turn red and my mom gets suspicious that I'm smoking weed =P
-Stings on sensitive skin, especially over scarred areas

Don't use this if you're like me and have sensitive skin. However, despite the burning and stuff it actually works really well especially for the price, so if you think your pores can take it, go ahead! Try to exfoliate before doing it, preferably after a shower because that's when your pores open up.

Pros:

It's a pretty great mask, it doesn't dry out my skin, it smells good, and it makes my skin really soft.

Cons:

I tried using it as a cleanser, but it didn't work very well. Here are some of the reasons: I don't like cream cleansers, it didn't do a thing about my acne.

Great mask, bad cleanser.

Pros:

Shrunk large whiteheads. Made skin feel smooth (for the first few days)

Cons:

Made my skin dry and flaky. Din't seem to have an effect on blackheads and didn't really srink pores that were cleared from blackheads.

Even if you dont have sensitive skin, i would not recommend using this product all over your face. I use it as a spot treatment at night. In long term use it still dried out my face so now i can only use it about every other day. (my skin is somewhat sensitive) I would recommend this product only as a spot treatment.

Pros:

clears whiteheads quickly and the mask is great for spot treatments.

Cons:

the mask is very harsh to the areas of skn that do not have acne (on my skin) (on my moms it didnt bother).

it is a great product and works wonderfully. its also great for all ages, clears most acne.
August 10, 2009

Pros:

Clears up pimples already healing and pimples that seem to be trying to break through the skin. Used the Mask once and it turned my face a bright red for about 2 hours or so, but now I use it as a spots treatment. For the most part, I do recommend!

Cons:

turns my face red
mask burns
skin is a little dry afterwards but lotion helps :)

Like the product. Only product that has given me results I am please with.

Pros:

good smells, improves complexion immediately, fresh feeling

Cons:

none

i truly think this is the best acne product i've ever used. got it when i was breaking out in deep, painful acne cysts, and after the first use as a mask, the redness had reduced greatly. though it has benzoyl peroxide, i don't find it to be as drying as other such products. smells great, feels cooling and refreshing on the skin.
