Pros:

reduces redness!
felt soothing/refreshing/clean
clears most pimples

Cons:

skin gets oily
have to wear sunscreen

this product did what it promised- reduced redness. my skin is usually supper red, and now it about normal. But it makes my skin more oily throughout the day. you also have to wear sunscreen because it has some kind of acid in it, which makes you skin sun sensitive. it does nothing for my blackheads.

Pros:

-Soothing
-AMAZING scent
-Good moisturizers
-Did the cleaning job
-My face was very soft

Cons:

-Even though soothing, also burn't really bad
-Didn't help my acne
-Redness.. oh so much redness

My opinion, is that this little product burn't like a b. Chamomile irritates my skin personally a lot.. when it's actually suppose to soothe redness? Every product I use with chamomile burns, why do you hate me so much chamomile? I LOVE THE SMELL OF CHAMOMILE. The only reason I didn't throw it away was that it smelt so dang good! ANYWAY I would recommend the scrub because that for some reason wasn't close to as irritating... my skin hates the cream cleanser I guess. I would say try a different line of anti redness/acne stuff.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Made my face very very very shiny and oily

I used this product because I wanted to try something that wouldn't dry my skin out like all the products with benzoyl peroxide did. And this did the total opposite. After a week of using this product my face was sooooo shiny and oily but it was also peeling and rough at the same time. I don't know how that's possible but that's what this product did to my face. And did I mention it did absolutly nothing for my acne NOTHING!!! I am so sick of wasting my time and money. I ordered some African black soap and Shea butter hopefully that works, If not, I just give up

Pros:

Cleared most acne and cysts,good smell,very gentle,non-oily,reduced redness and hyperpigmentation significantly, makes skin very smooth,excellent efoliator with AHA

Cons:

works slowly on hyperpigmentation (red spots) and is not a stand-alone treatment for these,too thick

Excellent product, helped my active acne quickly and effectively. However, it takes a while to work on hyperpigmentation and you will most likely not see results with these for about two weeks.Still a great treatment to help clear acne and is a good product for being left on during night. Also in general,is one of the best-feeling treatments that I have used,is gentle and good for sensitive skin,but without being ineffective.

Pros:

Great smell! Cleans without drying out skin. Feels great and keeps breakouts at bay (2% salicylic acid).

Cons:

None whatsoever.

Any cleanser you use takes time to get rid of breakouts. This is not exclusive to this cleanser. I highly recommend this to anyone who has combination/sensitive skin. Very, very nice moisturizing cleanser.

Pros:

Doesn't dry at all; reduces some redness; helps acne if consistently used; appropriate for dry to combination skins.

Cons:

Very thick; too much menthol; reduces acne slowly; doesn't remove makeup.

This product is good if you have mild to moderate acne and some time on your hands. For about the first week, you won't see any real results. After washing with this morning and night (along with my Clarisonic Mia), toning and using my favorite oil-free moisturizer, my skin feels perfectly balanced and calm, which is a major plus. I definitely don't break out worse when I use this (which often happens to me when I find a wash that is moisturizing) and it feels quite nice, but you won't be shocked by any amazing results until maybe 3 weeks into use. However, my acne IS diminished, so I guess it does have some possitive effect in that field. I would recommend this is your skin is dry to normal/combination, but if you are quite oily, try the gel version.
