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 okay.

clears breakouts.

Cons:

Drys out my skin.

This product worked pretty well for me. I've been using it for a while now, and it has really improved my skin and dissapeared breakouts. Drys out my skin a little bit, but overall it's a great product.

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:

-Clears some acne
-Doesn't dry too bad

Cons:

-Doesn't get rid of ALL acne unless used with other products
-Leaves some red marks

This product kinda works but I suggest using Noxema pads after using this product and a honey mask so your skin doesn't dry out. My routine: Wash skin with Neutrogena wash twice a day. After I do this, I wipe my whole face with the Noxema pad. I also do this twice a day. I then use a honey mask so my skin doesn't dry out. The honey mask also prevents acne. Honey mask: Use raw honey. Apply all over face. Leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

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.

Pros:

OVERALL AMAZING!! great smell, felt clean, I use this and then wash baking soda over it once a week or so and it works amazing for my acne prone skin!

Cons:

If used without baking soda every now and again it doesn't work as well

Yes if your face is oily, if not DO NOT USE it willl dry it out if its noot already oily
