Pros:

Smells good
Leaves skin smooth
Clears some blackheads

Cons:

Doesn't clear the pimples under the skin (you know, the ones that are just more like bumps)
Burns like a you know what
Burns even more if you put lotion on afterwards

This product cleaned up my blackheads within a few days and smells clean. But after a couple days of using it, my skin began drying out and burning more and more. I'm pretty sure its because of the disinfectant in it (it openly states that its made to remove bacteria from skin. think of it like applying good smelling hand sanitizer to your face). So haven't been washing my face with it twice a day, and have pretty much been ignoring the burning with gritted teeth. The good thing is that all of my chin and nose acne is pretty much gone and I haven't had any break-outs. Bad news it hasn't done anything for my under-the-skin forehead acne.
