Pros:

Smells great. nice feel after cleansing

Cons:

Skin gets a bit dry if you don't wash it off enough or if you don't use moisturizer

It's been working pretty well so far. My skin looks brighter and i'm experiencing less breakouts

this product works pretty well
I honestly think this is a good product but if you do sports make sure that you clean your face because i play field hockey and the googles we have to wear are just ruining our skin by the second. this isn't something that quickly works but it does clear them and make them alot smaller then they were!!

Pros:

-Cleared up my friend's acne

Cons:

-Awful smell
-Burns
-caused me to have allergic reaction

This product works GREAT for one of my best friends. Her skin is beautiful! However, when I used it, only after the second time, I noticed my face was red, blotchy and ichy. when I woke up the next day, dear lord, my face was beat red, i had broken out in hives AND my skin was swelling! I go to school and i literally skipped it because I looked so awful! By the end of the day my skin was back to normal, but i'm DEFINITELY taking this back.

Pros:

clears up redness, cleans the face well, smells nice, removes oil

Cons:

drys up skin pretty badly

i used to use clean&clear, but i started breaking out again so i switched over to this. it really did help reduce redness and my existing pimples. i still use my clean&clear dual action moisturizer, since the cream wash seems to dry up my face.

Pros:

Really easy to use
was really effective for my skin

Cons:

smells weird
I kind of had to use a lot

I liked the way it lathered on your skin. however, i did have to use a lot. If I only used a little bit, it would dry out my skin. I kind of coated by skin very well. It worked really well for me and got rid of my forehead zits. I wouldn't really recommend it for something more than moderate acne.

new staple
I picked up this cleanser maybe a month ago and i will definitely be repurchasing. the AHA in it has done wonders for my acne scars, and it doesn't dry out my skin at all (i do use a moisturizer afterwards, of course). Salicylic acid does not kill acne bacteria, but it will help those with clogged pores. I use this along with neutrogenas rapid clear daily mask with benzoyl peroxide, which does kill acne bacteria. together they have dramatically improved my skin!

No
On the top of my bottle it says " results in just 1 day " is a lie. Had it for 2 weeks & see no results, just more red pimples. Might work for some people but i dont think it works , dont waste your money. I recommend the alcohol pads they have , ive had them before & they WORK. I just wanted to try something new. Im going back to the pads.
