Pros:

nice bottle and dispenser

Cons:

Made my skin worse than before. The formula thats supposed to wash my skin just irritated it, made my skin dry, red and more pimples formed.

I bought this product because of the reviews here and I wanted to try a liquid washer. All I can say is do not buy this. It will make your skin worse and more irritated. I used this product for about 2 months and saw no positive results. Not recommended

Pros:

Gentle on the skin. Didn"t dry out my skin.

Cons:

Didn't work for me at all. Doesn't reduce redness Used it twice a day till the bottle was empty and and I still saw absolutely no difference :(

If all you are looking for is just a simple facial cleanser that will take care of the mild breakouts and keep your skin looking nice, then this one is for you. But DO NOT buy this if you have severe acne of redness.

Pros:

Inexpensive, Smells good

Cons:

Harsh on existing acne, leaves face red

Good for those who just need a cleanser, but I do not recommend this product for those who have a lot of clustered acne (like I do on my chin and forehead). It leaves my cheeks smooth and soft, which doesn't matter because I do not have problems with acne on my cheeks. However, where I already have acne it does absolutely nothing for it but make it dried out, red, and burning!

It stung
I bought this product because I heard it helps with oily skin and it does, however it can be too drying for my face. Something I noticed when I first used this was that it stung really bad, especially around the mouth. It also made my face extremely red and itchy. However it does clean your skin very well, so that's a pro.

Stung my face!
This product stung my face. I don't understand. It stung especially by my nose and mouth area. I have moderately sensitive skin and very oily skin, but nothing like this has ever happened to me. If it didn't sting, this would probably be an okay cleanser. It foamed alright.

Not bad, and yet not good...

Pros:

Cheap
Can buy at any drugstore

Cons:

Didn't remove makeup
Didn't clean my face
Didn't help fight my acne

I used this product for quite some time before realizing that it was doing absolutely nothing for my face. I don't think it was doing anything to damage my skin, but at the same time there were no benefits from using this product. It didn't remove my makeup, didn't leave my face feeling clean, and it didn't help with my acne. So, what was the point of me using this for an extended period of time? I have no idea.

Pros:

Good cleaner
Recommended for the regiment

Cons:

Burns like a bad sunburn
Leaves face very tight even after moisturizer

I think this is too harsh of a cleanser. It strips your face and leaves it dry, tight, and burning. Yeah it might get rid of your acne, but it destroys your skin in the process. There are better cleansers out there.

IT CONTAINS ALCOHOL.

Pros:

cleared my skin a little

Cons:

Dried skin out
Smells awful
Didn't clear my skin completely
Made face shiny, but not oily

This cleanser cleared my skin up a little bit but it was never enough for me, I have combination skin and this product just dried me out. I feel like this is more a face wash for people in their twenties who no longer have acne and just need something to keep their face clean. I won't be repurchasing.
