Pros:

Reduces acne very quickly (in a matter of days).

Cons:

It doesn't completely get rid of my acne - I still get breakouts often, but they are usually small and not so noticeable. Also, this product really dries out my skin if I don't moisturize.

I have fairly sensitive skin and have had no luck with products containing Benzoyl Peroxide. I've tried a lot of over-the-counter cleansers, but this is the only thing that really makes a dent in my acne. I'm still looking to find a more effective product, but all in all I don't have many complaints. Also, some have complained about the smell, but it doesn't bother me a bit.

Pros:

Got the oil out of my skin. Not that expensive,

Cons:

Didn't seem to reduce acne. Runny and spills when I take the cap off.

Smells like a regular hand soap. Not the best you should use. Try something else beforehand.

Pros:

smooth feel, pleasant smell, work if you use it in small amounts, and a moisturiser with it.

Packaging to be improved, a nozzle would have been better, directions on use to be more helpful.....such as using a moisturiser as well...

Pros:

I had mild but consistent chin acne and some folliculitis on my back that was getting worse with sweating a lot in yoga classes. This product cleared up all the "bacne" and most of the chin acne. I noticed a difference right away.

Cons:

The smell reminds me of a dishwasher.

The detergent-like smell is well worth the effects of reduced acne and better skin. I have used other salicylic acid products that have been more harsh and not worked nearly as well as this one. I have very sensitive skin and have not had any problems.

Pros:

I love the burst of lightness my face feels after using the product. I love the citrus smell and how energized my face feels.

Cons:

It doesn't get rid of acne, but it maintains a beautiful glow on your face and an even complextion.

I like the product and would recommend using it if you don't have severe acne conditions. It's an easy one step process and it's easy to travel with.

Pros:

It helps with existing acne, keeps face soft.

Cons:

Doesn't prevent acne from forming, needs to be used consistently, not the best smelling product

I noticed a difference in a week after i started using it. It made most of my pimples either go away completely, or made them much smaller. I'm not really all that happy with how it smelled, but it could have been a lot worse. I love how my skin feels after I use it, it's so soft!

Pros:

Works the very first time you use it. In just 1 week you will see the difference. Clears your skin of acne and leaves it soft and smooth. Exfoliates skin, meaning it renews your skin from acne "scars"

Cons:

Although it's an acne fighter, it's NOT an acne preventer. It doesn't contain BENZOYL PEROXIDE, if you're looking for an acne prevention, used a 3 step system like Pro Activ or AcneFree.

It's a GREAT product. I had a MILD acne break-outs. I don't know if it's going to work on HEAVY/Severe acne. But in just 1 week, your skin will be clear!

Pros:

-

Cons:

Dry, dry, dry!

I have tried everything for my acne and luckily last year had some luck with Accutane. Recently, I had been getting small flare ups and decided to try the Neutrogrena wash. Used it for two days. Seemed to slightly clear up my skin, but left my face and lips extremely dry and scaley. It also caused the appearance of tiny tiny whiteheads all over the place. Back to square one I guess.
