Pros:

This cleanser gives you that tingly feeling.
Leaves skin smooth.
Reduces bumps a little.

Cons:

Doesn't really help with redness.
Drys skin out a little.
Stung my face.
Not too good for sensitive skin.

It's an okay cleanser. I found that the more I used it the more acne I got. So I would recommend using this product maybe twice a week or so.

Pros:

Smells good
Soft beads
Leaves skin looking clean

Cons:

Left my skin feeling tight
Dryness
Flakiness
Redness
Was a waste of money

I was hoping this product would work for me, what with the 2% sal. acid, but it just did not help. It dried out my face and left extreme flakiness. I also experienced a "tight" feeling after each wash.

Pros:

Smells good

Cons:

Does nothing

This stuff does absolutely nothing. PLEASE just stay away from these silly fruity washes, they will probably never treat you unless you have extremely light acne. I actually believed this would stop a little swelling and resness based off of the product's green color, but boy was I wrong. Made everything worst.

Pros:

- Gentle
- Cheap
- Appealing Scent
- Effective

Cons:

- Initial Breakout
- Did not improve redness

I picked up this product after trying countless cleansers ranging from $5 - $50, and this is one of my favourites so far. I've been using it for about three weeks now, and I've noticed a considerable difference. I have naturally dry, sensitive, acne prone skin (which makes finding a good cleanser tough), and though my skin was a bit irritated at first, I kept using it. For the first 1-2 weeks, I did experience a slight initial breakout (probably from the SA), but stuck with it. Now, I do not get new pimples forming and my clogged pores/blackheads seem to be reduced. The only thing, however, is that since it's redness soothing, I was expecting a bit more from it. I have quite a bit of post acne scarring and redness (especially in my cheeks), and this cleanser did not seem to do much for that. If you have dry skin, as I do, you'll want to make sure you follow up with a good moisturizer both morning and night.

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
