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:

Stops the oil in my skin
Clears out whiteheads
Smells great!!

I tried this product because it said that it would take the oil out, but after 1 week using it it cleared my skin like no other!!! I even used roaccutane before!! It worked more than great for me!!

Drys skin out
Works well for getting rid of acne overnight but dries skin out a lot.

Pros:

Smells great
Not expensive

Cons:

A little drying
Did not do much to clear acne

This product smells great and is good for removing makeup and other impurities. It's a little drying and the product by itself did not actually help with my acne. This is the case with all Neutrogena washes that I've tried though. I recommend grapefruit seed extract instead if you want to see results in reducing acne and fading scars.

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.

Pretty good
This has helped the redness of my acne stay under control and has helped reduce the acne on my face. It is very drying but a moisturizer will help that. I used it for about a year but I didn't know that using an acne treatment for so long could make your skin "immune" to it. For that year, my skin basically looked the same (except in the beginning where it was reducing). I like this product but It didn't get rid of as much acne as I would've wished.

average
i got this wash a couple months ago, and it works, but it dries out my skin like a rice cake, ive found a moisturizer to use with it though. the only thing i dont like is how it gives me a pimple or 2, then other days its like magic. sooo, i really dont know how i feel about it honestly.

Really ?!!!
I was really interested in this product so I went online to check reviews and even though they were mixed reviews , I bought it and was really liking it until it just made my skin horrible and break out everywhere !! I have been using it for 2 months and there has been no improvement ! Also , it really burns and dries your skin . Definitely for light acne and not for sensitive skin !!
