Pros:

Easy to apply, travels well because of the pump and cap, not irritating or drying, soothing to skin, managed acne

Cons:

Did not completely clear my acne, but made it very easy to manage

It reduced the amount of pimples I had by at least 75%. I'm stilling trying to find the right combination of things, but I think this face wash is part of the right combination. It completely cleared my husbands face. His skin looks amazing! I'm pleased and continue to purchase it.

Pros:

I'm not gonna lie, it's a nice cleanser :)

Cons:

Only good for maintaining a good complexion, not really to curea bad one. I'd say it's good for people with really, really light acne.

If you're looking for an acne TREATMENT, this is not the way to go. It only contains .5% Salicylic acid, which is almost nothing at all. However, it's really nice for when all you want to do is give your skin a mild cleansing. Just don't forget to moisturize aftermwards.

Pros:

Smells awesome, made skin really soft, improved skin texture (some what), not irritating, sleek packaging, foam feels nice on skin, and so far no pimples.

Cons:

Not a lot really. I wish it could fade acne scars (wait...I think it did...no wait...I used a blemish control toner for that). Oh, and maybe the cost could be a bit lower.

It makes your skin really soft and makes your skin smell nice, and it should definitely be recommended to those who want their skin soft/want a better smelling cleanser/want an improvement to their skin texture.

Works well
I have been using this since the summer and I liked it. It has a good smell and the results are good. I use a Clarisonic also so it helps.

Pretty Good:)

Pros:

Keep Skin clear
Great price
Feels amazing

Cons:

Slightly drying

I love this product:) The smell is not the best but not the worst. It didn't completely clear my skin but it definitely reduced problems and kept away new breakouts. You need a moisturizer and the toner works wonder too! I would recommend this product!

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.
