Pros:

leaves skin feeling clean and soft
cleared up acne within 2 months
works well with oily skin
love the texture of the cream cleanser
smell isnt to bad

Cons:

didnt help prevent new acne from forming as well as i'd like

i think this product works well but would be best for people with light to moderate acne versus people like me who have moderately severe-severe acne.

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:

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:

Cleanses, smells nice, cheap.

Cons:

Dries out your skin.

I've been breaking out really badly in mid November and only started to clear up when I started using this product in its second week with a moisturizer afterwards in late December. At first it did only dry out my skin and left me still breaking out. I think in order to make it work you need to moisturize well, and I highly suggest Cetaphil to help you with that.
