The product is pretty soft on the skin but does not work at all

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.

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:

skin felt soft, get rid of most oil on my skin.

Cons:

left my face soooooooooo dry!!

I hated this product!! After seeing it was award winning, i thought I would give it a try. I have little breakouts here and there, and i do have blackheads, but i felt like this product didn't do much to clear them. It DID however clear up some of the oil i have on my face. After one use of this, my face the next day was so irritated, dry and itchy I couldn't stand it! My brother also used this and it broke out his face like mad. Hopefully my skin will be back to normal very soon.

Pros:

Makes skin soft

Cons:

Doesnt help acne
Makes skin dry
Comedogenic
Harsh

When my acne started to get really irratating and my self-esteem started to decrease i decided to just get a acne fighting cleanser and see the ending results so one day i saw this product and bought it. The problem with this was that it was very drying. My skin felt soo tight after i washed it i had to put lotion on my face just so it could feel more comfortable. My acne never went away and i continued to get blackheads,whiteheads and sometimes zits and after i washed my face my acne got irratated. I don't think anyone should get this because personally it just made me feel like a failiure and like i'm going to live with acne forever. Fortunenately i was encouraged by friends and realized that some products just won't work and that i just need to try something else and move on.

Pros:

gets rid of acne.
got rid of my oily skin.(:

Cons:

DRIES OUT SKIN REALLY BADLY! :(

I used this twice a day for about 3 days and my skin feels like sand paper. DRIES OUT SKIN!! I have tried putting lotion/moisturizer and it didn't help. I put moisturizer on about 20 times a day and my skin was still dry. I have sensitive skin and it might work for other types of skin but if you have sensitive skin i don't recommend it!

Pros:

Smells nice.

Cons:

Doesn't help with acne and completely dried out my skin. My face is red, itchy, and irritated.

Horrible product. Didn't work for me at all.

Pros:

It smelled ok?

Cons:

Left my whole face in a rash

I used this twice, my skin can be pretty sensitive at times but is usually fine with salicylic acid. But woke up with a red bumpy itchy rash which took a week to go away with hydrocortisone. Returned it and got my money back
