Made acne much worse
I've had moderate acne for about 3 years now and I have tried many products which have not worked. I came across this product while looking for a new face wash to try out after the one I was using before (Bioré Charcoal Acne Cleanser) wasn't helping my skin one bit. I was overly excited when I found this product and read all of the amazing reviews. I bought the wash and after using it for the first time my skin didn't react in any way at first. I kept using it nightly and eventually about three days later my skin reacted badly. It became very red and itchy and I could literally feel the new bumps arising from my cheeks. I didn't really think much of it and just put aloe Vera all over my face and went to bed. The next morning little bumps were all over my cheeks. I was so upset and was crying. The bumps never really became actual "acne" until about a week later and my cheeks were covered in tons of little pimples. It's now like two months after that happened and the acne is still here. I'm now beginning to get larger pimples that hurt under touch. I have never reacted this badly to any product ever before. Wish I had never tried it. And btw, my skin was mostly oily at the time and was never sensitive. Good luck with clearing your skin to anyone reading this.

Not for sensitive skin
I haven't used this product long but in the time that I have it has only made my acne worse! It has also caused my skin to become more irritated. I wouldn't recommend this product for anybody with sensitive skin.

Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

Over-drying
Smells bad
Made acne worse
Make skin red

I've been using it for almost two weeks. It dried out my skin way too much. I had to apply a grip-load of moisturizer and my skin was still dry. It made my acne worse. I have pimples on my cheeks now. My skin is also always red now. I would not recommend buying it.

made skin oily

TERRIBLE! it gave me tiny bumps all over my forehead and made my acne much worse. Now i have really oily skin and break out all the time. It may work for you but it was horrible for me.

Pros:

Didn't do Anything

Cons:

Dried skin
Got more acne

About half a year ago I used this stuff, before I got a real prescription from a doctor. This stuff didn't do a single thing, at all, nothing, for my skin-besides making it dry. The bottles I had appeared to be really dilluted, as if they use way to much water to save money- maybe I was putting it on wrong, I don't no. But the bottom line was that it didn't work for me.
