Pros:

It smells nice. I got it for free from a friend.

Cons:

the pump broke easily. doesn't do much on my face.

If you have very sensitive skin like me, this thing is very mild and not harmful at all, but don't hope much. It just cleans out your skin and not preventing or curing acne like it says it does. Use a good moisturizer afterwards.

Pros:

Extremely easy to use, reduces redness, effectively cleans, amazing fragrance, gentle, leaves skin moisturizes and does not dry it out like almost every other cleanser out there-THE FULL PACKAGE

Cons:

None

If you're looking for an acne treatment, cleansers aren't the way to go. However, this is the absolute complement to a comprehensive acne treatment. This cleanses your skin thoroughly and does exactly what it's supposed to do. It isn't supposed to be used alone. Personally, I use this morning and night, followed by topical lemon juice applied with a cotton ball. To moisturize and ensure that I don't break out, I use Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. It contains .5% sal acid, and it is an amazingly effective product-try it. Good luck! Remember-everyone's skin is different, but give this regimen a try it works!

Pros:

Dries up acne. Skin feel clean.

Cons:

Man this stuff destroyed my face. It dried it out to the point that I was peeling but my skin was still producing oil. I had the worst breakout of my life while using this.

Different things work for different people, but for persistent acne, go see a dermatologist.

Pros:

The fragrance smells amazing. Definitely refreshing, and it's easy to use and doesn't sting.

Cons:

It doesn't work. I used it throughout the school year and it did nothing for my acne. I just liked the smell xD

It's good for really mild acne, but if you break out a lot or have a lot of acne, it's just pretty useless.

Pros:

Nice cucumber-y green tea scent, feels good on, gives face a tingly feeling.

Cons:

Doesn't really help much with acne. Funny thing is, it's called Acne Stress Control.

I had to deal with many stresses this past summer and I was not about to let acne be one of them. What better product to use than Neutrogena's Acne Stress Control products? Along with the foam, I purchased the scrub, cream wash, toner, and 3 in 1 hydrating treatment. But since the review is strictly for the foam, that's what I am going to give you: The product smells really good, kind of gave me that relaxing spa type feel. The packaging is nice, I like how the product is a bluish green color, I thought that was fun...ANYWAY...the foam feels really good on your skin, it's cooling and tingly...but not burn off your face tingly. This product claims to work on acne, but it didn't, at least for me. My skin may be a tad bit clearer, but I did not see a drastic change in the improvement of my skin. I would only reccomend this for the smell and the color so no, if you are looking for something to clear up your acne, I do not recommend this product.

Pros:

goes on okay, makes your skin feel clean.
not a bad scent.

Cons:

does not work AT ALL for acne. at least for my acne.
it was one of the first products i ever tried and all it did was dry up my skin, and irritate my acne.
plus, after a while, the dispenser got "plugged up" or somthing and it wouldnt come out.

i wouldn't really recomend this product to anyone.

Pros:

Really feels good when washing. Makes my face feel ultra-clean. Light, good for everyday use.

Cons:

makes face feel tight, use lotion afterwards.

Cleared up the blackheads on my nose, and reduced the redness on my face/pimples.
