Pros:

- got rid of inflammatory acne (pimples & papule)
- non drying

Cons:

- made my skin oily
- caused an increase of whiteheads/blackheads
- left some residue on my skin
- It's not oil-free

I got this a few months ago and after using it for a while it got rid of all of the pimples and papule that were on my forehead and nowadays I rarely get a pimple or papule. On the other side..this caused me to break out in whiteheads/blackheads. My face has become Comedone City with large amounts of whiteheads and blackheads. I recently stopped using this because it's gotten really bad..also I don't like how it leaves residue deposits on my face which is most likely the cause of the comedones.

MADE ACNE SOOOOOO MUCH WORSE

This is a horrible product. i had light acne on my T-zone so i thought this would clear it up and then i would have great skin. WRONG, it made everything so much worse!!! If you have light acne do NOT use this product!!!

Pros:

None that I could find.

Cons:

I thought it would clear up my skin really good but it made it worse.

This product contains zinc, which I am allergic to. I had no idea and started using this product a lot and got puffy eyes, along with red bumps and a small rash. Don't use this if you are allergic to metals such as zinc or possibly even aluminum. This product contains 10% benzoyl peroxide too, so it dries your skin out like crazy.

Nah

It is not gentle, it does not remove all makeup and it does not help with acne in long game

Maybe if you want to wash your face with it twice

Pros:

It works as a great spot treatment!

Cons:

It did nothing for my acne. It burned my face and was left red for 2 hours after washing and rough through out the day.

Its no good for people with light acne. Its way too strong. Because I have light acne it didn't work for me, but I still dab a bit with a Q tip on my blemishes and I notice a great improvement the next morning. If you want an actual spot treatments with the same results then get Clearisil Ultra spo treatmen which has 19%benzoyl peroxide. Luckily I can give this wash to my sister who has moderate-severe acne.

Pros:

Visible reduction in acne.
Tingly, fresh feeling when applied.
Nice consistency!

Cons:

Gives my skin a chemical burn.

I have verrry tough skin! Baking soda masks, strong acne treatments of benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinol, glycolic acid, lemon juice etc have never overly irritated or burned my skin. But for some reason, every time I apply this cleanser my skin starts to burn and turns an inflamed, puffy red color that lasts several days. Nothing else does that. :| No idea why. I tried to use it several times, with the same result every time.

Pros:

High potency

Cons:

This product gave me chemical burns on my face with scabs that have not healed after a week so far.

Be VERY careful when using this product because it has a very high dose of chemicals. If not careful, you can easily burn yor skin and cause redness and scabbing. The first day after using it I felt like I had mild sunburn, then red marks and scabs began to develop.

Pros:

Cheap
Buy locally
Creamy texture
High concentration of BP

Cons:

Didn't clear acne
Contains mineral oil and petrolem

This cleanser did not work for me. It is like most of the other cleansers out there. It's nothing special. I also looked at the ingredients and it contains mineral oil and petrolem which isnt too good for your skin. It works alright, but definatly not the best!
