Pros:

-Stops breakouts
-Reduces size of pimples
-Bottle last a while
-Easy to use
-My acne severity went to moderate- light after 2-3 weeks of use.

Cons:

-IF YOU PUT TOO MUCH ON AT ONCE YOU WILL BREAK OUT TERRIBLY (A little bit goes a long way, less than the size of a dime!)

Ok so I'm 17 and was battling acne for 2-3 years and I was looking for a cure and this product did the job. I don't think I've broken out once on this product and I've been using it for about 5 months. When I do get a pimple now it is very small opposed to big noticeable ones that I used to get. HOWEVER, my first time using this product was a disaster! The first day I used this product was fabulous and I had no complaints at all as I could already see my acne getting better. BUT, I was so excited that the following night I put WAYYY too much on thinking that it would help the acne go away faster. That morning I woke up and wow, i'm gonna have to say anywhere between 12-15 new whiteheads on my face as well as it geing extremely red and itchy rash. Luckily I was on vacation at the time so I had a little time to recover. I discontinued use of this product for 1-2 months to wait for that to heal. Once it healed I started up again only using a less than a dime size of cream and I have no complaints at all. I definitely recommend use of this product as it greatly helped my acne as I went from moderate-light in about 3 weeks of use. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID OF PUTTING TOO MUCH ON AT ONCE. I WARNED YOU!!!! BTW: I put it on every morning and night and keep it on for about 30 seconds- 1 minute for it too absorb then I wash it off. I also use a clean and clear moisturizer with it to sooth my skin.

Pros:

dries up pimples
within one use, all my blackheads were gone

Cons:

smells gross
doesn't really make you feel clean
weird texture
if used on places that don't have a lot of acne, it can dry them up and cause irritation
made me sunburned when I went out in the sun

I used this cleanser for a whole year before switching to another one and never had much problems with my acne, once I switched I got so much more acne, and then I bought another cleanser and still got more acne until I finally switched back to this one and it's toning back down again. Even though this cleanser is kind of gross it works sooo well on a lot of acne, but can really irritate and dry up skin that doesn't have a lot of acne on it. I now only use this on my nose which has the most acne and then use a Biore scrub for the rest of my face which leaves it very soft but made my acne worse on my nose.

Pros:

-works very quickly on clearing up acne
- tingly sensation afterward

Cons:

- dried my skin out a bit

I had CRAZY breakouts all over my forehead so I switched to this cleanser and within 1 week I was seeing results. My pimples healed really really quickly, and now they're all healed. I haven't gotten any new pimples since I started using this. This product can be a bit drying so just make sure you use moisturizer. Overall, great cleanser!

Pros:

Smells decent
Lasts a while
Easy to apply
Fairly cheap
Works on my acne for 1-2 months

Cons:

Dries skin, especially around upper chin and cheek bones
Makes skin slightly oily
Doesn't work on tougher acne

This is a pretty good product if you don't have sensitive skin, just avoid upper chin and inner-cheek areas if you don't some skin irritation. It made my entire face a little red, but since I am pretty tan it didn't really matter to me. Not meant for continuous use, use for a month at max unless it keeps working ((it probably wont))
