Pros:

Very good product. Didn't dry out my skin. Reduced amount of acne breakouts. Smelled great.

I needed to combine it with a spot acne treament for occasional bad breakouts.

Will continue to use this product.

Pros:

Smells really nice, the beads do not irritate my skin

Someone gave me this face wash, so I decided to try it out. I really liked it! I don't think it made me break out, probably because right before I used this I was using the acne stress control power WASH. And although I liked the scrub, I think I like wash a lot more.

Pros:

-smells refreshing and really good
-clears acne a lot and fast
-calms redness (i have a lot of redness in my cheeks, etc)
-skin feels smooth and soft
-doesn't dry out the skin (my skin dries out easily to other products)
-good for sensitive skin (I have sensitive skin)

Cons:

nothing!

Okay, I didn't buy the actual Neutrogenia one. I bought the generic CVS version because it was cheaper and on sale. It was something I just wanted to try out but not spend too much money on. I got it for $4! The Neutrogenia ones are usually around $6-8. Anyway, this product is AMAZING. After a few days, my acne started clearing up! I have pretty bad acne on my cheek and now, they're almost all gone! Still a bit visible, but still A LOT clearer than before. I love this stuff! I'll be repurchasing this product for sure! I use this scrub every day, day and night with my Humphrey's Lavender Witch Hazel toner and this random korean moisturizer. If you want a good moisturizer, I suggest Clean N Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. Give the scrub a try, you'll be amazed!!

Pros:

It made my face feel smooth, and more soft.

Cons:

Skin got dry quick, burned when I put on at first, made acne much worse, didn't make then reduce in redness and it made them very sensative, I got on my lips now my lips are chapped badly.

I would think since I have a little worse acne then moderate that it doesn't work for moderate+, I have used 7 times and my face just doesn't get better and now looks worse it caused my face to be very sensative and I tried everything washing 3 times a day, taking 2 showers a day, and even not touching my face with my hands to prevent oil transfer, didn't help it just made it look much worse(they should pay us to use this).

Pros:

Feels nice and refreshing on my face. Helps reduce flares. Isn't so strong as to irritate skin, but strong enough to produce results.

Cons:

Because of low intensity, seems like it takes a while to start working.

Great product that should be used in conjunction with other things if you have mild to moderate acne. Like someone else said, if you're just looking to prevent breakouts, this could be your product.

Pros:

Feels great, smells great, and keeps my acne under control. The scrub is not too harsh and helps to exfoliate my skin.

This scrub is a lot like Neutrogena's other oil-free scrub except it contains cucumber, which is a nice addition.

Cons:

I guess I don't really get the name?

This scrub is a lot like Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash Daily Scrub, except that it contains cucumber, which is a nice addition. Other than that, the ingredients are almost identical. The Stress Control Scrub softens my skin, leaving it oil-free all day. It also keeps my skin hydrated and comfortable, unlike other creams and scrubs that tend to leave it dry. I use it every day in the shower and I wouldn't trade it for any other product on the market.

Pros:

My skin feels very soft and my acne has virtually disappeared.

Cons:

None. Except i wish it came w/o scent- on principle. We need less perfume in our lives, not more. I do find the scent pleasing though.

I have had a lot of acne since I was 13 and used Retin A since I was 20. But I always had acne - EVERY day. I've tried antibiotic on occasion, but fear them as I am a microbiologist by training. Since I turned 40, I've been getting deeper cysts that may not come out and can be painful. Tried Neutrogena Advanced Solutions and giving up Retin A for a few years.... About the same. At 45, I feel my skin scars more and much longer. I just hated my skin. But within the WEEK of starting this Stress Control scrub, my acne virtually disappeared. I can barely believe it. I've been using it 1.5-2 mos. This is the best my skin has looked - breakout wise- since I used Accutane in my late 20s. I might try to give up the retin a again. I think I will get wrinkly, but I also worry about my telomeres since they must be shorter on my face than the rest of my body.

Pros:

Has a great smell and clean feel

Cons:

a little pricey not any significant signs of healing or clearer skin

i would say its only worth using if you have light acne. it has a great smell and clean feel but not much for fighting acne, kinda weak
