Pros:

Smells good
Basic cleanser

Cons:

Doesn't significantly diminish acne
Dries out skin after overuse
Over time stops having any effect

This smells good, but if you want a good, basic acne wash just go for Neutrogena Oil-free Acne Wash (orange bottle). It is odorless, slightly cheaper and does more for acne continuously than this.

Pros:

-cleans your face

Cons:

-drys out your skin like no ones business
-smells nasty (in my opinion atleast)
-doesn't do much to clear breakouts

This was the first acne wash I started using. I didn't realize how horrible it was until I stopped using it for a little while. This dried out and made my skin flake horribly, and now that I think about it, it never helped my break outs at all. It might have made them worse considering how much it dried out my skin, and my skin was excreting so much oil to make up for it. the only pro I really have is that it foams up and feels like it cleans your face pretty well... but any other face wash would do that anyway.

Pros:

Smells alright.

Cons:

Makes your face dry, itchy and makes you breakout even more. After awhile the smell gets irritating and too smelly.

NO, not a product i would ever recommend. It drys and makes your skin really itchy.

Pros:

I love the smell, It's PINK, It lathers, My face felt clean

Cons:

It really dried out my skin, my face was itchy, It burned when I put lotion on

I would only recomend this if you don't have sensitive skin.

Pros:

It smelled really nice and lathered really well, the first few days it worked great!

Cons:

Made my sensitive skin break out in an irritatingly itchy rash after 3 days

I was excited to try a new face wash and spent 15 min staring at an isle in target. Spotting this on the shelf I read through the back and compared different cleansers. I used it for 2 days and on the third my skin got really itchy, I thought it nothing but dry skin since I was starting to use a new cleanser but the next day my face was still itchy and lotion wasn't helping. I went online and found that other people had the same problem. The same day my face swelled. I have sensitive skin so this might not apply to you but just a warning it made me break out in a rash.

Pros:

smells nice
got it on offer so fairly cheap (2 bottles for £5)

Cons:

It broke me out in a rash and hives
didnt clear acne

I have sensitive skin but i still didnt expect this to break me out in hives and a rash which it did I personally wouldnt use it again but if your skin isnt too sensitive maybe its worth a try
