Pros:

lathers up nicely
smells good
removes oil

Cons:

HUGE IRRITATOR
willlll make skin red and itchy after 2nd day.
makes pimples worse and much flakier
makes blackheads blacker
makes pimples bigger

this product was being advertised alll over tv. so i though, hey, why not give it a try? i took a trip to my local target and found it on sale, great huh? i couldnt wait to try it. i washed my face before going to sleep, and indeed it did remove excess oil from my face. when i woke up the next day, i used it again and did my daily routine. however, throughout the day, i realized my skin was itchy, flaky and dry. i immediatly put moisturizer on it and left it alone. i washed my face as soon as i was ready to sleep. when i woke up the next day, my face was red and itchy allll over ! i felt as if i was sitting out in the sun for hoursssss. the couple pimples i had turned flaky and white and swollen. its been 2 days since ive stopped using the product, and im still red and flaky all over :/

Dries out skin

DOESN'T GET RID OF ACNE!

I bought it to clear up my acne, but it SUCKS! It made my skin dry and flaky, but most of all it causes irritation. Don't waste your money on this.

Pros:

-Smells really great
-Sucked up all the oil on my skin

Cons:

JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE!!!
-Made my skin flaky, itchy and made it peel
-DID NOT CLEAR ACNE LIKE IT "CLAIMS!!"
-actually made my zits appear more red, irritated, and plump
-The oil sucking power dissapeared after like 2 months

I am a 16 year old girl......so like most teen girls I DONT WANT ACNE TO RUIN MY APPEARENCE. and I felt tht this product was badly advertized and I wish that I NEVER bought it!!! I mean I have very oily skin and it sucked up all that oil for awhile and made my skin smell good but other than that it never helped. so for all of you wondering if you should buy this product....DONT cuz you'll be wasting money and it dosent deliver results!!! But you can try at your own risk.....

Pros:

This product doesn't have the traditionally harsh smells found, and appears to work for a little while. Aesthetically pleasing, and leaves you with a clean feeling.

Cons:

Within only a few days of using this product once a day, my skin began to dry, and a few days later, my skin was flaking and burning because it hurt so much. Just making certain facial expressions hurt.

I would ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend this product. It damaged my skin more than any other product has before, and I've tried many products. It has painful results that last for days, even after use is stopped; especially if you have sensitive skin like I do. Even on places that I did not apply the lather, like the bottom of my nose, my skin was painfully dried out. Moisturizer didn't even help for more than a few seconds.

Burning Sensation?
PLEASE NOTE: The reason I'm giving this one (and a half) star is because it produced a burning sensation on my skin. My cheeks were very warm for a good five minutes after drying off with a towel and visibly red. (The one and a half star is for the grapefruit smell; It's really nice

Pros:

Smells nice

Cons:

Irritaing
Extremely overdrying!
Got a rash
Makes breakouts look worse

This product smells so good but dries your skin out horribly to the point where you have no oil at all on your face to keep your face supple. It gave me a bad rash and peeled my skin and made my breakouts worse! this is a very strong product too strong and is the most irritating product I have ever used! do not use this product it WILL make your skin worse trust me!
