Not good at all!!!

Pros:

Very nice smell
Clean dispenser
Foamy, not gel

Cons:

Burns/stings
Drys out face, and causes peeling
Causes pimples to get tender, burn, and redder

I don't have sensitive skin, but this made me breakout BAD!!! It burns a lot when put on, and causes my face to get red and VERY dry. My face looked like it had sunburn, it was peeling and bright red. Every time I moved my face, it would burn ALOT.

Really gets the job done!

Pros:

Gets rid of excess oil
Treats pimples
Rereshing, clean feeling

Cons:

Fragrance

I started using this cleanser 3 weeks ago. I use it in the morning and at night. I have found it really eliminates and diminishes the oil on my skin, but it doesn't not completely dry out my skin. My face is still left with a bit of natural shine. I have also found it helps cleanse and shrink pimples, and leaves my face feeling soft and clean. The only complaint I have is the fragrance. It is a little too strong for my liking, but it is not terrible. It does a really good job getting all the oil and dirt off my face that I can bypass the smell. Overall it is an amazing product, and I highly recommend for people with oily skin!

Love this
I love this face wash I have really sensitive skin I was using the Cetaphil cleanser before I tried this. I did not see a difference in my face when using the cleanser and I felt like my face was not being cleansed properly. I was told to try this and within 2 weeks I seen a massive difference within my skin. This is the first product I have used that I have not had a reaction to. To even out the dryness of my skin I use the Cetaphil dry, sensitive skin moisturizer and they work great together. Although this foam wash does tend to dry your skin so try using the moisturizer for dry skin. Definitely recommend trying this !!

I like it

Pros:

Cleanses well

I have been using this product for probably about two weeks now. I do feel that it really cleanses well. I am still broken out; however I am hoping that this is just part of clearing my skin up (getting all of the nasties out!) I have noticed some clearing in some areas, though. I am going to stick with the cleanser, as well as the moisturizer, to see how it goes.

Pros:

Clean dispenser with cap
Does not over-dry
Reduces oil / skin shine

Cons:

Foam is not dense
Feels only like a surface clean

I had bad acne in high school, and 15 years later, I'm still battle with flare-ups. Always had very oily skin, and the derm recommended this recently. First, I don't really care for foam washes, as I never feel like I can get enough to put on my face. This stuff felt like a surface clean and not a deep clean, lacking the "freshness" of other cleansers I've used. So I first used it twice a day for one week as my only cleanser, broke out after a few days, then stopped. Went back to a Neutrogena cleanser and I cleared up within a few days. Waited one month, then used it again for 2 weeks, but this time in addition to Neutrogena, and broke out in the same way AGAIN. I stuck with it an extra week and the acne was persistent and unrelenting-- something new every day. Stopped using it and cleared up within a week. It did help cut back on oil, but getting the breakouts was not a good trade off. Based on the other reviews, it looks like it has worked well for other people, just didn't work for me.

Pros:

Cleans skin
Does not over dry
light smell
Very easy to use
cool looking bottle
keeps oil at bay
great for acne prone skin

Cons:

a bit pricey

I bought this cleanser after be given a coupon from the derm for it, after the first night i notices my skin felt better, it felt soft and smooth and clean but not overly dry, i also use the oil control moisturizer to go with it, greatest combo yet, has kept break outs away so far , the smell is very nice and it controls oil very well. alot of people have the misconception that it eleminates oil all together. I believe that the cleanser works best when used with the oil control moisturizer. All together the cleanser and moistuizer came to 32.00 without the coupon,So worth it. My acne is getting better and better each use

Repurchased many times
I struggle with face washes because I feel like my skin freaks out if I use something with one wrong ingredient. The acne.org wash caused severe irritation because of ONE frigging ingredient (White Oak Bark Extract). This is great and I have been using this for over a year, but it does leave my skin feeling dryer than I'd like. I rotate new products occasionally, but haven't found one that beats this.

Didn't really do anything for my oil
I didn't really see any improvement in the oiliness of my face when I used this product. I ended up passing it on to my younger siblings who said it worked great for them, and it helped clear up their acne within weeks. I guess it works for some but not for others.

Alright I Guess
It did not take off any of my makeup. As well the formula felt quite runny and not like very much of a foam as while washing my face with it, it would dry straight on to my skin before I rinsed off. It did little to nothing to help clear up my acne, the only thing it did to my face was make it feel tight and dry. I used the moisturizer along with it and that made things worse. I would not recomend this product as anything more then a normal face wash.

One of the best oil control wash out there!
Its pricey in Singapore here about $30 and can only be found in special clinics. However, its a great product mainly to control oil on my face. It helps with acne a bit too. I used about 1 month to see a difference. I hope my skin will be clearer in the future by using it regularly!
