Pros:

-Great exfoliating product
-Immediately smoothes skin
-Gentle
-Cheap

Cons:

-It alone does not do much for acne

This is one of the only face washes I have used that exfoliates without giving me any harshness/redness afterwards. I searched endlessly for a good exfoliating face wash to use with Retin-A Micro (which causes major peeling!) and I am sticking with this one. Definitely worth a try if you have never used it before.

Pros:

- Gentle exfoliating beads
- Nice texture ( creamy with beads)
- Nice smell
- Eliminated my acne when combined with BP cream
- Can be used daily
- Fairly cheap
- Contains Beta Hyrodxy acid , an ingredient recommended to me by my Derm

Cons:

- A bit drying ( Nothing a moisturizer can't fix)

I have normal skin which tends to breakout regulary on my forhead. This scrub , combined with the Neutrogena combination skin moisturizer and a 2.5% BP cream has eleminated my acne completely!I can honestly say that this cleanser works.Although its not made specifically for acne , it deep cleans my skin to get rid of bacteria,oil and makeup so that I can apply my acne-fighting BP.I absolutely adore the texture of this scrub.In fact , it doesn't even feel like a scrub because it's so gentle and creamy.I use this every morning by itself and then at night , I use it before applying BP and Moisturiser. Best Cleanser Ever! It's risk free , so try it.

Pros:

Great texture/consistency, scent, gets skin CLEAN!

Cons:

I wish the tube was the same size as Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser!

This will get your skin clean, clean, clean! I happened to try this one day when Wal-Mart was out of stock of my usual cleanser (Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser). I was SO happily surprised! I don't think my previous cleanser was thoroughly cleansing my skin. I tried this scrub and I love it! I love the clean feeling I'm left with. It causes occasional dryness/redness but I still love it because it has reduced the amount of pimples I have. As far as oil production, I still get very oily...I'm starting to think nothing can be done about that problem. Be sure to rinse the cleanser off really well - leftover exfoliating grains are a nuisance!

Pros:

Smells good.
Definitely exfoliates.
Has a nice texture, different from anything i've tried before.

Cons:

Causes some red spotting.
Slight irritation, follow up with a good moisturizer.

I love this scrub, although it doesn't exactly lather, it gets the job done. I'm using it before my Deep Clean Facial Cleanser, and i can already see a huge different in my acne and complextion. Thank you Neutrogena :)

Pros:

It contains beads which can help to lift any dirt or oil from your face.

Cons:

It can often make your face red if it is applied too vigurously.

It delivers. It indeed helps prevent breakouts but it often takes a while to actually get rid of your current acne but the fact remains that it still will clear up your face.However the beads can sometimes make your face red if it is applied too hard.

Pros:

I have very mild acne but living in humid Korea aggravated it. Inflammation went down a lot due to the use of this product. My skin is smoother, and feels cleaner after each use.

Cons:

I have combination skin so parts of my face were getting dried out (including my lips). Now I limit use to about every other day, alternating with a Clean & Clear Daily Cleanser and it works great.

Frequency should be used according to the skin type you have, but it's a good product.

Pros:

Leaves skin soft and fresh, with a nice orange scent. Does pretty well with keeping my face oil free, and has helped clear my skin a little bit.

Cons:

Makes skin feel slightly tight, but that can be fixed by applying moisturizer. The little beads are a little difficult to wash off.

Pretty good product, I'm glad I bought it. Wasn't majorly expensive. It's helped prevent breakouts and made some of my other breakouts smaller, with the help of another acne clearing scrub. It's gentle enough for me to use twice a day.

Pros:

Great texture - tiny grains
Doesn't aggrevate skin
Feels clean

Cons:

Another product I had to order online and pay ££ for delivery + wait a week for it to arrive because its not sold in the UK *sob*

I've only ever used Clean + Clear's scrub because I find most exfoliators too rough on my face. This one has a lovely texture and smells better than the C+C option.
