Pros:

Smelled nice

Cons:

Too watery
Made me breakout

I was fooled by this product in the beginning because I thought it was actually working. Right after I washed my face, my face seemed smoother and my red marks didn't seem as prominent. After about two weeks, I had a bunch of clogged pores in places I never breakout. I realized this product was the culprit, since I hadn't changed anything else in my routine. Save your money on this one, I don't think it has acne friendly ingredients, I just wish I had done more research before buying this pimple producer!

Pros:

The smell was quite refreshing and after each use my skin was nice and soft

Cons:

Did not help with my acne. I actually broke out more.

At first when I bought this, I thought, 'oh, aloe is good for my skin! And it clears redness!' I had lots of break outs and lots of red blotches on my skin. Instead of clearing out my acne, it made it far worse. I was getting an average of 2 new red suckers a day. It was horrible. I stopped using it for a while and my face cleared up. But when I forgot to buy new facewash, I tried to give this product another chance, and I'm still getting 2-3 new red suckers.

Pros:

None

Cons:

-Make face redder
-Break out more
-Did not like the way it was on my face

Bottom line, did not help with the redness or acne. Waste of money in my opinion.

Pros:

I loved how it made my face feel clean and soft! I think it helped clear my acne a bit

Cons:

Im not sure it really makes your face less red like it claims to do...No HUGE changes in my acne... just maybe some minor clearing...

I think this is a good product. I use duac with it so i dont know how well of a "Clearing" acne agent it is but overall its a good cleanser you just might need to use a spot treatment with it or something to compliment it because it does not do a super job if you have moderatish acne like i do.

Pros:

Cleans skin without stripping it too much.
Doesn't make me break out.

Cons:

Don't see much difference in redness, but I suppose it doesn't MAKE it red like some cleansers.
Is sometimes still too drying for my skin in the winter months.

I like this cleanser for the simple reason that it doesn't give me problems. When my skin gets too dry (which is rare), I alternate with Cetaphil.

Pros:

got rid of all my acne
feels really clean
reduced redness!!

Cons:

dries up skin
blackheads still there

I have terrrrrible acne on my nose and have tried about everything to get rid of it and nothing worked. OMG! after I used this cleanser, it was ALL gone except for a few blackheads which I don't mind because they aren't very noticable. Great product, recommend it to people with oily, acne-prone skin, because it can be drying.

Pros:

-makes the skin feel smooth & refreshed
-decreases the appearance of the redness of scars
-feels great to cleanse the skin if oily or from after a workout

Cons:

-the decrease of redness doesnt last as long as I would like
-everytime I pack the bottle to go away for the weekend it leaks a lot

Yes it does help the redness of acne scars. I wish that it would reduce the redness and then kept on making it get less red and less red, rather it decreases the redness then goes back to its normal red in a day and then you use the product again to make it go back down. I don't know if it helps with acne because I am thankfully acne free because of other products but it hasn't irritated it or caused acne to come back. I have bought this product probably ten times and would recommend this product for reducing acne scars and helping self esteem when it comes to acne scars.

Pros:

Um...nice green color?

Cons:

EVERYTHING.

This has to be the absolute worse product I have ever tried. I used it only once and a few hours later, my skin was the worst it had ever been. I had always had light to moderate acne but after trying this, my skin has never been the same, I now have severe acne. My face turned extremely red, itchy, and irritated and led to lots of inflamed whiteheads that covered my entire face. It has been six months since I used it and my face is still recovering and I continue to have moderately severe acne. It is mainly because of this product that I now try to stay as far away as possible from Neutrogena products. I have never really liked any of their products, but this was "the straw that broke the camel's back," as they say, and led me to despise Neutrogena. God, that next day after I used this wash was probably the day my self-esteem was the lowest, ever. I highly recommend THAT YOU DO NOT USE THIS ACNE WASH. IT IS FAR FROM REDNESS SOOTHING. I hate you Neutrogena!!! I don't care how good Miranda Cosgrove says you are!!!
