Pros:

it works
reasonable cost

Cons:

I can't always find it

I have worse skin in my mid-40s than I did as a teenager. This worked for me. I follow it with a toner, then a moisturizer with SPF 30 for day, and a retinol product at night. Doing this, plus exfoliating a couple times a week is keeping my skin looking great. i'm almost ready to give up my tinted moisturizer for the day which I use as a light foundation.

Pros:

none!

Cons:

I developed a small bumpy rash around the perimeter of my face, the morning after washing with this product. By the next morning, I awoke with my eyes nearly swollen shut, my entire face red, swollen and itchy.

Horrible product!

Pros:

this stuff works great on chest/back acne -- i put it on in the shower, leave it on for about 2 minutes, then rinse it off. my chest acne is completely cleared.

Cons:

DO NOT USE ON FACE -- it will BURN and within 2 or 3 days your face will be red, scaly, and burning.

this stuff is very strong and i will repeat ONLY use it on your chest/back... it works, but if you use it on your face it will literally burn your skin off. also if you leave the tube sitting around too long the oil separates out.. gross.

Pros:

Works great.

Cons:

If it gets on your clothes or bathroom towels it can leave orange dye marks.

I've used many different products on my face and this one is hands down the best. It cleared up my acne and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. It also takes longer for my face to get oily as compared to regular soap.

January 4, 2008

Pros:

It did what it said it would do. It felt refreshing to the skin.

Cons:

It burned like heck on my skin afterwards. It irritated my skin. It dried it out as well. It made my problem areas and zits redder, and made my whole face looke REALLY blotchy.

Don't use it. It may work, but the problems are worse than what the good outcomes are. It burns my skin horribly and everything. Phisoderm is so much better. They have it for acne prone skin and stuff. It's more natural and soothing to the skin. It is SO much better and just as cheap.

Pros:

Kills only acne on surface, deep cysts will not go away

Cons:

Made me break out more, SUPER DRY FACE, very itchy

if you have sensitive skin, do not buy this. it is way too strong and dries up face. I had to use this every other day and it is still dry, try 2.5% or 5%. it is just as good as 10%
August 9, 2007

Pros:

probably the best cleanser that ever worked for treating my breakouts.

Cons:

dries out skin, make sure to use a good moisturizer.Your face gets red for the first few days of use but,it will eventually go away.

give it a try!
