Pros:

smells nice, nice tube

Cons:

it dries the crud out of your skin

my bottle seems to be runny, so i always have to flip the tube over and then open it, or else the product just runs through the opening. it does keep my pimples under control, but it DRIES THE CRUD OUT OF YOUR SKIN!!

Pros:

the only thing that works for my acne. Great, clean smell, skin feels clean, not dry after use.

Cons:

May be a bit drying, so use moisturizer, but it's a small price to pay for clear skin, finally!

I think everyone's skin is different (duh), so what works for one, won't necessarily work for another. This is what works for me. I am afraid it's being discontinued, however, as I am having more and more trouble finding it in the stores... I truly hope this is not the case... :(((

Pros:

Did not dry face to much.

Cons:

Made my face feel dirty and oily.
Did nothing to help my skin what so ever.
Made me start breaking out after the first.
Is one of the worst products I have ever bought, right after proactiv.
Definitley would never reccomend this product to anyone.
This product in two days made me break out with 7 pimples.

Made my face break out with over 7 pimples in two days. I just bought the clean and clear advantage control kit and within one hour of its use my face already began to look better, howver it's a bit pricey. usually neutrogena products work really well, except for this one! However, the grapefruit products from neutrogena work great! Bottom line is DO NOT TRY THIS PRODUCT!

Pros:

It cleans off all the oil so your skin feels fresh & clean

Cons:

I think it's made me break out with cystic acne.. suddenly I started breaking out on my cheeks which has never happened to me before and never this severely. I used to only get a couple of minor white heads, but now I have a rash of acne!!!

It doesn't work for me. I'm not so sure why this product has such high ratings! Its causing me to break out even worse than ever before! I was just looking for a cleanser that would help me get rid of the smaller random little white heads on my T zone and chin area, and instead I'm breaking out all over my cheeks with these MASSIVE cystic acne bumps!!! I've never ever in my life had this before! I'm going to be scarred on my cheeks now and its basically this product's fault.

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:

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:

seems good for mild acne, clears up redness.

Cons:

must use consistently.

On my first bottle of the product. Salicylic seems to be the best treatment for my mild acne. This face wash does help, but seems to be best when used twice a day. (morning and night) If used once a day, I didn't see much difference.
