Pros:

It does seem to clear up your skin (Ie: reduce redness/ keep acne down), certianly dried out my skin as other reviews hav said.

Cons:

It often does burn when you apply it, its not that bad though, I had Acne on my forehead when i started now it is on my forhead and the right side of your face.

Its ok it does work well to reduce redness but there are probably better products out there, as i stated it *MAY* have spread my acne but I cannot back that statement up with fact.

Pros:

cleans face, controls oil

Cons:

Sometimes it slightly burns, but thats about it

I use these 3 pads all over my face at night, and one pad all over my face in the morning after i shower. They do a great job of cleaning your face of dirt and excess oils. I used to have pretty moderate acne, but now its all visibly gone! My problem was that my face was constantly oily, esp at night when i slept, and now it is pretty much completely clear. I just use these pads and water to wash my face once at night and in the morning for my entire regimen. Good for people with moderate to light acne.

Pros:

You can feel the pads sloughing off dead skin and reaching deep into your pores. It's also great for making sure I get every bit of make-up off after washing. These pads are also really handy.

Cons:

Very drying. I've had to stop using this product in the winter months because it's far too harsh for my dry skin. My eyebrows got bleached a little, but I should have read the label better. It smells a little masculine for me, but it's not a big deal

If you have a lot of severely clogged pores and/or blackheads, I suggest giving these a try. They're so handy and easy to use. They're also fairly cheap and very easy to find.

Pros:

If you look at the pad after you wipe your face you can see that it removed surface dirt and oil. It made my skin feel less oily

Cons:

It made my skin really red right after i used it. It also burned a lot when i used it. I dont know whether it helped my acne or made it more irritated

Its very harsh on your skin. It cleans off dirt and oil though.

Pros:

Helped to clear my skin right up initially, then a few weeks later my breakouts became uncontrolled.

Cons:

Very harsh on skin, feels like abrasive sandpaper.

Worth a try, works wonders for some, no difference for other, its cheap, give it a shot

Pros:

Salicylic acid. The alcohol removes dirt.

Cons:

Perfume. Alcohol could make your skin worse. Rough pad.

There are better ways to get salicyclic acid on your face. I sometimes use this in place of a toner when I have breakouts, but the scratchy, rough pad doesn't feel like it's good for my skin. It seems like this is made for people with extremely oily skin. I have combination skin with acne, which causes a lot of medications to dry out my skin. I'd rather pay a little more for a pad that is softer and has skin soothers like green tea in it.

Pros:

Clears up all the oil on your face, pretty inexpensive

Cons:

Smell, very harsh pads,

I don't recommend this product. It's smell makes my eyes water, and the smell doesn't go away for 3-4 hours. It works... sometimes. This is the only product I've tried that makes my skin hurt.
