Pros:

Doesn't irritate my skin, reduces irritated bumps.

Cons:

Is a little pricey, but has cleared my skin up more than anything else.

I bought this product on the basis that when you scrub your skin with an acne cleanser that removes oil and causes drying, your skin produces more oil to compensate and causes your skin to be more irritated and you breakout more. (This information coming from my dermatologist.) He recommended this or Cetaphil (which I haven't had much luck with) so I went with the Neutrogena. I can't say that this product has CLEARED my acne, but overall my skin tone looks more even, and when I do have acne, the bumps are less irritated and red-looking.

Pros:

Doesn't dry out skin, cleanses skin well,leaves skin soft.

Cons:

none

This product is great, it has a lotion texture and it startled me at first, but no worries about that anymore. I haven't broke out from this and those winter flaky's have gone away. I really like this!

Pros:

Great for sensitive or dry skin!!

Cons:

The pump sucks. Mine didn't work at all so I took one from a Neut. Acne Wash bottle, cleaned it, and used that.

It does what it advertises: it gives moisture back to skin without irritating it. I like the lotion-mixed-with-cleanser texture. It also smells really nice! Since my face has been improving and I've been wearing less makeup it removes it all.

Pros:

Light with good feel and goes on easily,rinses off well

Cons:

the pump dispenser sucks, you twist the top but it doesn't pump all the time on a new bottle. Ive had to use the old pump on a new bottle sometimes.

Great cleanser, a bit pricey but can be found pretty cheap at Target

Pros:

Not at all drying! Leaves my skin silky soft and clean.

Cons:

Consistency takes awhile to get used to, but other than that no problems.

Good product for those of us with sensitive skin and those who dislike over-drying cleansers.

Pros:

Left my skin feeling very moisturized while still feeling like it was effectively cleansed. Very gentle. Smells pretty nice.

Cons:

Price vs. quantity; It's not a horrible deal, but not the best either. Also, it's ok at taking off eye makeup, but it will still be a little smudgy after. I always use an eye make up remover first.

I was worried to switch to this cleanser after using the same cleanser for the past 8 years or so, and after recently switching to using benzoyl peroxide. My skin didn't react negatively to it though, and it felt more moisturized than my previous cleanser. I was happy with this product.
