Pros:

Nice and tingly
Works for infrequent breakouts/hormonal breakouts

Saves space in cabinet (wash and mask in one!)

Cons:

Doesn't go a long way...
Not for frequent breakouts

I would recommend this for infrequent breakouts. It works well, but not for cystic acne/very frequent breakouts.

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:

Dries up existing pimples fast
Cooling sensation

Cons:

Not ideal for daily wash
Doesn't prevent new pimples from forming

This product is good as a mask or for spot treatment only. When I have an existing pimple, this product dries it up fast. I will usually leave it on for an hour or more. As a daily wash, I find it too thick and drying. I prefer something mild that lathers well with no oils, soap or alcohol (i.e.: Neutrogena Foaming Face Wash)

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.

HORRIBLE for mildly sensitive skin. my skin isnt that sensitive and this stuff is really strong

Pros:

Skin is less oily

Cons:

IT BURNS LIKE NO OTHER.

I have very mixed feelings about this product. When I first used it, not even as a mask, it burned my skin and left it raw and red for hours. I continue to use it every day, but now only on my chin, where the majority of my spots are. Its not great, because it leaves my skin red and raw, and my moisturizer never seems to be enough to fix it, but I do think it does limit the amount of new spots a small amount, and at this stage (I'm 20 and thought I was past all of this until my skin exploded in June), I'll try anything (except Dianette).

Pros:

Feels nice and goes on smoothly. Easy to use and somewhat did my skin some good.

Cons:

Didn't do much for my acne.

It's a good product to use once in a while, especially as a mask. You can really feel it working, and though it sometimes dries out your skin, just dab on some lotion or moisturizer and wah-la.

Pros:

It FEELS like it works....

Cons:

Over time it looses it's effectiveness, and doesn't address cystic or deep tissue forming acne in any way. Nor does it address the pain of acne.

If you have really mild to moderate acne it is ok, but it doesn't work at all on deep acne.

Pros:

Helped me through a bad breakout, really seems to be doing something for me. Didn't dry my skin but chapped my lips. I am breaking out on my chin for some reason despite using the stuff, maybe I got something on my skin before I went to sleep?

Cons:

Smells bad (to me), chaps your lips, didn't clear 100% of my acne, and I am breaking out again in a small area despite still using it. The bottle is a bit of a pain to close.

Give it a try, it does work. Some people seem to be allergic to it though, so try it in a small area first. You may not like it so much if you have a low pain tollerance as I have read on here, but it didn't bother me at all.
