Pros:

Smells nice
Dries up oil

Cons:

Very drying
Smell may be overpowering
Artificial coloring
Bad for sensitive skin

If you have sensitive or fair skin, save yourself the pain. I used this for about a month or two, and the first week, I broke out into a rash that looked and felt like sunburn, and my skin literally peeled off in patches. However, after that first week, there were no more complications other than it being very, VERY drying.

Pros:

- Smells good
- Made my skin feel fresh and soft

Cons:

- Couldn't see any improvements
- Still got breakouts
- Didn't work for me at all

I was disappointed, as I thought this product was really going to help my skin. All it really did was make my skin feel fresh and clean. It didn't get rid of any spots or prevent breakouts at all. My guess is it only works for certain skin types, and obviously not mine as mine is quite sensitive. But it was quite cheap, so you could try it for yourself if you want, because even thought it did nothing for me, it might help you :)

Cons:

Did not clear up my acne
VERY drying

I have very oily skin.After seeing advertisements, I thought I would try it. I began using this with the Clarisonic, and within one day my skin was dried out. So then I stopped the Clarisonic and just used the wash. It was still very drying. My skin is so oily that I cannot use a moisturizer, but I did use one just on the dry areas. My skin was still peeling after. Not a good product.

Pink grapefruit review

Pros:

Smells good
Removes most blackheads

Cons:

Burns
Irritates skin
Doesn't remove acne

I have been using oil free pink grapefruit for a total of 3 days it has created a burning sensation under eyes on eye lids and I do not recommend this product. I have used this product, proactive and several other drug store products I recommend going to your doctor or skin doctor.

Pros:

Cheap
Non-comedogenic

Cons:

Smell

In terms of spots, this is a bit of a meh product. My OH and I shared (and finished) a bottle in about 3 months. It doesn't make my skin worse or better, but what's stopping me from repurchasing is the smell. OH is a doctor and is pretty much used to vomit and poo so it didn't bode well when I heard gagging, spluttering sounds the first time it was used in the shower. If you're not too keen on the smell - and judging by the reviews below it seems to be a bit of a mixed bag - I recommend Garnier Pure Active Wash instead. Does the job for the same price and smells better!

Pros:

-Pretty Cheap
-Smells Nice (Get's annoying after a while.)
-Makes face feel Smooth

Cons:

-Not as soapy as the Original
-Doesn't treat acne
-Doesn't help blackheads
-DOESN'T HELP PIMPLES AT ALL

I do not recommend this product. I purchased this in the middle of December as it was my first acne wash, but it only made my face feel soft and clean, but that was it. It made no difference on my face what so ever so I just used the remaining wash as a hand soap more than a face cleanser.

Pros:

-Cleared some acne within first week

Cons:

-After first week I started having many huge pimples on my face

-Made my acne worse then before

This product worked at first, showing signs of disappearing acne. Though in the second or third week I began having a lot of huge pimple type breakouts my forehead. I thought it was just trying to get rid of all the acne beneath the surface, but two weeks later still using the product my acne was just worse than before.
