Pros:

it lathers well
cleans most of your face
clears SOME acne - not all

Cons:

makes pimples more red and stand out
BURNS your eyes
does nothing for eye makeup removal

this cleanser is only good if you clean your face with no makeup on. even then its not that great. once i get out of the shower my pimples are fire red. my eyes are blood shot and it barely clears my skin.

Pros:

Smells great.
Leaves skin feeling fresh

Cons:

Burns.
Skin was left dry.

Ive only used this product once and it burned my skin like hell. Maybe its because I havent gotten use to it. ALso it really caused my skin to dry out. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks I will see some improvement. Will post another review at a future date.

Pros:

-Good packaging.
-Smells nice

Cons:

-Made skin feel tight
-Made me breakout a bit worse
-Made skin look oily

I bought this product with a toner and this product made my face feel terrible. It look very shiny and oily. My acne stayed the same and I still brokeout and really, nothing was done but made my face look like I had been sweating for hours.

Pros:

feels clean

Cons:

makes my face quite dry, and triclosan..?

so far this isn't the best thing for me. i noticed that the medicinal ingredient is this stuff called "triclosan" and i've heard you should avoid using products with this in it. i don't know if i should stop using this cleanser because of it??

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.
