Pros:

The ingredients
It made skin appear smoother
The cost
The smell

Cons:

It doesn't lather
Sometimes little gritty things are in it
Didn't prevent break outs well

I bought this cleanser in hopes that using less products would help my skin. It seemed to do fine in the beginning but didn't do much a little bit after. I would recommend though to someone with light/mild acne. Mines mild/moderate. Because it does make your skin feel soft and your skin tone even and keep the really tiny bumps away.

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:

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.

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:

-Has 2% Benzol Peroxide
-Feels extremely Cool when used as Mask
-Takes only a few minutes to dry
-Wakes you up in the morning
-Makes skin feel smooth

Cons:

-Doesn't help acne at all
-Makes face seem pale
-Can sting eyes if used too close to eyes
-Makes face somewhat red

Bottom Line is that I do not recommend this product because even though it contains BP, It does not clear up acne very well. It also tends to be drying if used to much and makes face extremely pale at some points. I purchased this with high hopes but with no luck. I have now moved on to Neutrogena's Blackhead Eliminating Cleanser/Mask.

Pros:

Shrinks breakouts.

Cons:

Dries skin
Tingles if left for to long

After reading reviews on [link removed] I was convinced this may be the end for my breakouts!!! Well i was proven wrong just like any other product I've used. I stopped using this and switched over to philosophy purity.

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.
