Pros:

This cleanser worked for about 2 weeks and then my skin was back to the way it has always been. It is great for sensitive skin and doesn't irritate it at all but it isn't clearing my acne. I recommend this product for someone that has very light acne

Cons:

Sometimes drys out skin but it isn't bad
Doesn't clear pimples

If you are trying to get rid of acne this product is not for you.

Pros:

Did clear up some pimples

Cons:

caused my skin on my cheeks, upper lip and forehead to tighten and peel. NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE WITH MILD ACNE

It was pretty good the first few times, i was using it once a day (half the recommended) by day three my skin was very sore and starting to peel (this is with even the oil-free skin cream that came in the multi pack). I use it now maybe once a week, the foaming is not good for people with combination skin (i only have pimples in my t-zone). Wouldn't recommend it to people that don't have a large amount of active pimples as it does not seem to prevent new ones any better than just washing your face with plain water. (well unless you want a heck of a lot of pain!)

Pros:

Cleans REALLY deep!

Cons:

Hurts! I used this product about four times and three out of four hurt! My actual face hurt, it was sore, but when i rinsed it off, it hurt, when i put on moisturizer it hurt!

i couldnt give this product a fair rating because whenever i use it all i can focus on is the pain! my skin isnt sensitive but its too sensitive for this! i have little bumps on my upper arms and i use this to clean the area just to see what would happen, and it seems to be drying it up a bit, not in a bad way, but i think its way too harsh for my skin! i'm talking about the original orange one, i would reccommend the clear sensitive skin one if u have combination skin (like me!)

Pros:

Leaves my skin feeling refreshed, swept away dead skin, reduced redness.

Cons:

Uhh none.

It worked pretty good on me. It didn't fully get rid of the acne it just reduced the redness and inflamation in my pores. I loved how it left my skin refreshed! I have ALOT of oil on my face and this product helped control it. As other people said it works on youngsters ( i'm 13). my parents even noticed how my acne was getting a lil bit better.(:

sodium laurel sulfate
my doc as a kid recommended this to me and on my oily teen skin, it was wonderful. it's foaming ingredient is Sodium Laureth Sulfate, however, which is allergenic and doubly drying. As I got older, it was a little too much.

Pros:

-smells nice
-leaves skin feeling clean
-gets rid of small black heads

Cons:

-makes skin red
-doesn't work on big break outs
-takes a long time to work(me: 4 weeks)

This is a good product over all but me I have really oily skin and this solved that problem for me. I also have a lot of acne so maybe thats why it didn't work. Hope this works out for you.:)

Just one part of the regimen
I will use this and a ton of other products. Its not a one stop shop but cheap and easy to use and goes well in conjunction with my routine

Simple but works
It's a pretty basic cleanser compared to a lot of stuff out there with outrageous claims. It does the job. It removes dirt and make up better than that Ponds "Deep Cleanse" Facial wash I tried. It does sting a bit around my nose since that area is pretty sensitive for me. But it really helped my skin since it removes all the nastiness. My face actually cleared up a bit after I started using it. But if you have really dry or sensitive skin, maybe don't use this because it stings a little.

Pros:

- Foams easily
- Cheap and easy to obtain

Cons:

- Not a fan of the smell which lingered long after my face was rinsed. It smelled medical.
- Found it overdrying

Okay in a pinch, but I think there are more useful products out there. I used it for a few weeks with disappointing results. My face was more red than usual, but at least there was no new acne.

A good cleanser :)

Pros:

Clears up all the dirt and oil
Smells good
Affordable

Cons:

Did not do anything for my acne
Stings on the first use
Can be a bit drying

I've been using this for 2 and a half weeks now and it really does its job as a cleanser. I do not wear any make up but it clears all the dirt and oil from my face at the end of the day. Although it is a good cleanser, it didn't do anything for my pimples. I have very, very light acne. Overall a great product for cleansing only
