Pros:

Leaves skin feeling smooth and clean. Gentle on your skin. Effective if you have oily skin. Skin feels calmer and not as irritated. Smells fresh and i liked the lime green color. Nice packaging

Cons:

None so far

I like this product. It is simple enough to just cleanse my skin while depositing some salycic acid into my skin that helped the turnover of old skin cells. I am pleased :)

Pros:

Smells nice

Cons:

Extremely drying

I have only used this product for maybe two weeks and today I have severe flaky skin due to the extreme dryness due to this cleanser. I didn't realize how bad it was this morning until I got in the natural sunlight and with my make up on. I have been on some pretty hefty prescriptions for my acne and face and nothing has ever had the effects of drying out my skin like this product. I also have oily skin, so typically I appreciate a drying of some sort, but definitely not this drying!

Pros:

Reduces redness (temporarily)
Will take some (not all) redness away.
Takes at least a month to notice some difference for redness.

Cons:

Gives you more acne when you first start using it.
Doesn't have a 'deep clean' feel
Drying if used in the shower
Not for severe acne....

It's half-decent. I think they should make a moisturizer for this line.

Pros:

kind of a good smell I guess...apple-y

Cons:

didn't clear up acne
didn't help redness+irritation
gave me more breakouts
left skin feeling very oily and just not clean

This product did nothing for me, and I got more acne. It was just annoying, and my face always felt oily and slick after washing; not the squeaky clean feeling that I feel like I need when it comes to a facial cleanser. Just didn't work for me.

Pros:

smells GREAT which makes it pleasant to use.Is not irritating to any areas other than pimples.leaves your skin in much better condition than harsher cleansers.As for the redness it does not increase it but has not soothed it either.

Cons:

no visable changes in skin or acne but no new break outs either.

I would reccomend this as a use 2 times a day cleanser for those who can keep up with that.

Pros:

feels clean

Cons:

stung-dried out my skin
didnt help much with acne

i have sensative skin and this dried me out which didnt help me with my acne, if you have oily skin go for it the packaging totally sucks, if you tip the top downward the product leeks out and begins to smell nasty

Pros:

-Reduces acne redness by A LOT
-Leaves skin feeling mostirized
-Leaves skin feeling cleansed

Cons:

-Felt irritated on my sensitive skin
-Smelt like deoderant

I used this for a couple of days and it DID reduce my redness of ance. I reconmmend it if you have redness. I have sensitive skin, so it really irritated it.

Pros:

nothing at all

Cons:

caused more blackheads
did not help with breakouts... at all
made my skin even worse

Um... Neutrogena? I love your products but this one was a total fail. I was tempted to buy because of the reviews on the neutrogena website. but it was a hugeeeeeee mistake. It did the complete opposite of what it claims to do.
