Pros:

not all that expensive

Cons:

didn't do anything for my breakouts. which makes me wonder why Neutrogena always comes out with new products. Obviously their products arent working, that's why. Just like this one did nothing for me.

It seemed like it work for some people, which is great. but for me it didn't. I have oily acne prone skin with blackheads, it did not work.

Pros:

Felt awesome and cool on my skin and worked for about 2 weeks.

Cons:

Stopped working and face kept breaking out.

This face wash definitely left my face feeling cool and refreshed but did not continue to work and I had to stop using it. Not worth buying. This is just one of the many products I have tried that do not work and I am tired of wasting my money! this is just getting old.

Pros:

- refreshing, clean, and cool feeling
- Soothes skin
- Removes makeup

Cons:

- Needs to be applied after oil free acne wash
- May dry out skin a bit
- Takes time to work

At first I used just the Acne stress control wash. It worked at the beginning, but I think it wore off. So instead of using it once every night, I used it once every other night. This seemed to be helping, But I wasn't getting the results I wanted. So just recently, I started to use the oil free acne wash before I used this. It seems to be working :) (I've only been using it for like 2 days) I use it every night, but if your skin becomes too dry, use it every other night. & Moisturize ! I really hope this combo will work ! Wish me luck ! I am 14 and have been struggling with acne for like 2 years. It's realy getting to me ! I am not sure about the price, but for both it was probably around 20$

Pros:

It leaves skin feeling clean and soft. Has a fresh scent.

Cons:

It only worked for about a week or so. My face started breaing out again.

It probably works best for mild acne.

Pros:

Slightly cleared my acne.
Slight cooling sensation.
Exfoliating beads.
Gel consistency.

Cons:

Didn't completely get rid of my acne.
A bit pricey.

My skin is very unusual. I have acne on my cheeks, forehead, and chin. Everytime I introduce a new product to my skin, the product reduces some of my acne, but my skin eventually builds up an "immunity" to it and my acne returns. Because of this, I have to rotate my skin care products every few weeks. This is exactly what happened with this face wash. It was gradually decreasing my acne, but within a month, my acne returned. But this product is not over drying. It smells a bit like a minty cucumber, but it is pleasant. It runs out fairly quickly, it's only been a month but I'm already down to 1/3 of the bottle. If you have a lot of stress or stress pimples, I would recommend this to you. When. I was using this, I had a lot of stress. I usually break out SEVERELY when Im stressed, even at the most miniscule things. But this product kept my stress pimples at bay. Only a few small brief pimples appeared. Overall, if you have the time, energy and money to burn, I suggest trying this out.
