Pros:

-Nice smell
-Gives face a clean feeling
-Foaming lather

Cons:

-Dries out face TERRIBLY
-Smell gets annoying after a while

I absolutley do not reccomend this cleanser. The acne did stay away and left my face clear, although, the dryness all around my mouth, nose, eyebrows, and chin was just unbearable. Eventually, I had to purchase a moisterizer at an attempt to make the dryness stop. It did make it somewhat better, but not by much. This product was a total dissapointment. The only good thing about it is that it will keep acne away, for me at least. For others I've heard it was a different case. If you are looking for an acne cleanser, I suggest finding one with a lower percentage of salicylic acid. Purchase this product at your own risk if you are prepared to experience extreme drying, peeling, and itching.

Pros:

-smells nice
-gives you a fresh face feeling

Cons:

-skin gets really DRY

I've used this product for two weeks thinking it would be nice. I bought it for a reasonable price. But, it has made my acne worse. I've gotten a huge breakout around my mouth and chin! Plus, I got really REALLY dry skin! I'm very sad about this cleanser. :(

Pros:

Inexpensive
Smells like lollies

Cons:

After only two days' use I have developed a horrible itchy, bumpy rash and new pimples all over my face and neck. I have used loads of different acne cleansers in my life (including others with significantly higher percentages of salicylic acid) and this is the worst by a huge margin. I cannot imagine that it could be beneficial to any skin type, and certainly those with sensitive skin should avoid this awful product like the plague. It should not be allowed on department store shelves.

Worst acne product ever.

Pros:

Smells Nice

Cons:

Dries out skin
Makes acne worse
Caused weird rash

This is probably the worst cleanser i've ever used. The smell is literally the only good thing about it. It actually improved my acne for the first week or so i used it, but after that, i started getting deep, painful zits that would NOT go away. I kept using it for a little longer just to see if it would eventually clear, but after about 2 months, my skin was afwul. The acne was almost like a rash in a way. This could work for someone else, but it did NOT work for me.

Pros:

Smells nice

Cons:

Very drying
Didn't reduce blackheads

After using this cleanser my usually oily skin became very dry, red and irritated. It didn't really improve my skin, therefore I stopped using it after about three weeks.

Pros:

Smells good

Cons:

Made my acne worse
Dried my face out
Give me acne on my neck

The advertisements really tempted me into buying it. I love the smell of grapefruit, but I can honestly say this is the worst acne treatment I have ever used! I generally like Neutrogena products, but this one gave me a break-out that I haven't seen since I was 14. I instantly through this product out, I wouldn't give it to my worst enemy!

Pros:

-smells good
-looks nice

Cons:

-gives you weird rash
-not good for moderate acne
-Cheap

I didnt have that bad of acne and I thought hey, why dont I try this since I only need a light wash, its cheap, and it smells good. Well great, I go home and try it every morning and night for the next three days and... well, nothing happens, I guess it was good for getting off my makeup, but other than that, my face wasnt clearing up with the few zits I had. Fourth day rolls around and lone behold HUGE "mosquito" red, puffy bumps ALL over my forehead. I didnt know WHAT was causing this! This was horrible! I check the reviews, look in the mirror, and realize its the wash! I stoped it a couple days ago and the bumps are going down, but OH. MY. GOODNESS! PLEASE! SAVE YOURSELF THE HUMILITY! Baking Soda mask here I come :S
