Pros:

Gets rid of my acne! Period!

Cons:

None

This is the first product that has cleared up my acne. I use this once a day and witch hazel twice a day. For the first time in many years, I have control of my acne. I still get an occasional zit but not all over my face like I used to. Btw, proactive is benzoil peroxide and an astringent agent ie witch hazel.

Pros:

It smelled good and it was easy to pump but thats it

Cons:

It is so harsh on my fash it made it ten times worse than it was before makes your skin feel dry red and it feels like it tightens your skin

DONT GET IT!! ITS A WASTE OF MONEY and it only makes the problem worse What i recommend for extremely sensitive skin like mine is homemade remedies, with natural products that are easy to find in the kitchen and actually work plus u dont have to pay for it

Pros:

It was cheap

Cons:

Dried out my face--feels crackly

I've been using this for only 3 days and my cheek, chin and nose area are so dried out, it hurts to smile. I got it because it was oil free...but it just makes my skin feel leathery. This product seriously sucks. I always used Clean & Clear, but this product is horrible!!!

Pros:

Nice lather and nice scent.

Cons:

Does not work as well as it promised. Very drying also.

If you barely have acne, just a pimple or two at that time of the month than this product will work for you. However if acne is a consistent serious problem like mine than it won't do much to as to just clean or skin.

Pretty good
This is the only cleanser with salicylic acid I've found that doesn't make my skin dry, irritated or worse. I don't use it as my everyday cleanser but when my skin is really bad and it seems to start looking better by the next day. Of all the drugstore brands; Neutrogena, Oxy, Clearasil, Aveeno, Biorre, Cetaphil ect. this brand and this particular cleanser has worked the best. ***EDIT*** After a couple months my skin has gotten more oily from using this so the last month I've been using Clean and Clear's triple treat cleanser, the one with the blue bottle w/pump and it is amazing and recommend it much more than this. No Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate in triple treat cleanser. I will write a review soon.

Pros:

cleans face well. helps with MILD acne. smells nice. foam is awsome

Cons:

dries out skin. doesnt clear up acne by itself

i like using this stuff to take of make up but it totally dries out my skin. i think it used to work when i had mild acne though. and the instant foam is really cool cause you dont have to try and work it into a lather. and it last a long time. i would only recomend it if your using it with other things cause it doesnt work to clear up acne by itself

Pros:

Easy to use, especially in shower, because of the pump. The foam fees great too. A little goes a long way. Works to unclog pores and reduces inflammation a bit...but only minimally. Removes oil and leaves skin soft and smooth.

Cons:

Can be a bit drying. Doesn't really prevent new spots, only treats existing.

this product works best as part of regimen. Best results if followed after an exfoliating cleanser, since it doesn't really cleanse skin that well of dirt and make-up. It does help to unclog the pores a bit but you still need to "help it out" with exfoliating. It does reduce swelling and redness a bit on existing pimples and helps to heal them. I used twice a day as a part of my personal regimen and would recommend it. It does help....good for blackhead and clogged pores that occasionally flare up.
