Pros:

Oh my gosh! This is the best cleanser ever! I have very bad acne and have even gone to the dermatologist and this is the only thing that works! It has even helped fade my hyperpigmentation. And it soothes the skin as well! My skin is very sensitive, and this does not make it burn at all!

Cons:

Squeeze tube..not a pump

Please buy it!!!!! It really helped me with my scars!! It won't dry out your skin but it gets rid of the acne!!!

I have been using this for about a year and it is great. My best friend has moderately severe acne. Every time I would come over she would ask me HOW IS YOUR FACE SO CLEAR. I recommended her this stuff because she was freaking out cause she starts high school in 2 days. We went and bought it for the INSANE cheap price. She started using it 2 days ago and she just texted me and told me her acne was gone. I RECOMMEND IT FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ACNE.. FROM LIGHT ACNE TO SEVERE.

Pros:

- Cleared *previous* acne
- Minimises bumps and redness of acne
- Feels good on the skin - very refreshing

Cons:

- Can dry your skin
- Can make your skin flaky (if it does get flaky I use an exfoliator so all is good)
- I still get new pimples (BUT really less)

I love this face wash! Firstly, I have had moderate acne on forehead with oily forehead. I used to have a forehead with 20+ pimples. Now my skin is almost bumpless and you mainly see scars. I use this twice a day - I leave it on my face for 1minute and then wash it off. I use this wash with the cream Brevoxyl 4 (this worked well too). HOWEVER, my skin dried up because of both of the products. An advice is to use a 'good moisturiser' like Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion - it is really good.

Best I have Tried.
I have light acne (some cysts, whiteheads, blackheads, lingering hyperpigmentation). I began getting mild acne around the age of 20. This was one of the first brands I tried and I swore by it for about a year. It did not clear me up entirely but something close to. Around this time I went off of birth control and broke out completely. It seemed like nothing was working. I wouldn't blame this product; rather, my hormones were out of whack. Nothing assisted my face with clearing up at that time. My acne became moderate for about 6 months. I stopped using this wash because I fell into the foundation trap - you know, when your skin feels ugly so you start wearing heaps of make up to hide it, giving yourself more acne in the process. As a result of my newfound make up dependency, it never felt like my skin was truly "clean" using a cream wash considering how much make up I slather on. I switched to a variety of different foamy, higher end brands in an attempt to clean my face more deeply. The thing is- I loved how smooth and clean smelling this product was. More importantly, it necessitated gentle contact with my face as opposed to the usual rubbing with my palms. It is soft and luxurious and does not leave my skin feeling taut or abused. I am now at the point (2years later) where my hormones have likely relaxed and my acne has somewhat improved. I get four or five pimples at a time, some cysts. They last a few days, maybe a week and a half. I have a nagging feeling that wearing too much make up/drinking too much coffee has taken a toll on my face and I am wanting to pull back. Fortunately, I can return to this beloved wash of mine. I am hoping to experience similar results. Will report back.
