Pros:

Makes my skin feel clean, smells good & refreshing, doesn't dry out skin at all (as outlined in many other reviews).

Cons:

None, except the bottle packaging makes it difficult to take with me when travelling - it squirts everywhere!

I wash my face every morning and night with this cleanser and it really helped tame my mild acne break outs. I use the same brand moisturiser for Sensitive Skin after washing in the morning, but not at night and it doesn't seem to dry out my skin at all. I am happy with this product so far.

Pros:

leaves face fresh and clean, helps with acne

Cons:

Without a moisturizer it can severely dry up your skin.

I bought it a couple of days ago at wal-mart after my dermatologist told me to try this product. It did dry up my skin but that's why there are moisturizers. Along with my witch hazel toner and aveeno ultra-calming moisturizer my acne went away within a week. I would definitely recommend this product.

Cons:

I was lathering this acne wash in my hands prior to application on my face and a drop splashed into my eye. It burned badly and I rinsed my eye right away many times. I now have a perminent blurry spot in the center of my eye. Be carfull when using!

Absolutly do not get this stuff in your in your eyes. It will cause permanent damage!

Pros:

Smells nice. If I didn't use it I'd be much much worse, but it's not the cure to acne.

Cons:

Like I said, not the cure to acne. Dries the hell out of my face.

It's good to have if you have light to moderate acne, if you start getting bad though, switch to something else.

Pros:

Cleans face really well without any residue.
It's affordable.
Gets make-up off really thoroughly.

Cons:

It's not travel friendly (bulky).
May dry out the skin for some people.
Doesn't smell too good. (But really, that's not important!)

I recommend this product for people who have occasional acne spots, like a couple round the chin, a couple of the forehead and nose. It's not an acne zapper; if your acne is complicated (boil-like, cystic, or you have chronic acne), then the best thing to do is really to see a dermatologist. (That's what I did).

Pros:

KEEPS ACNE AWAY IF USED RIGHT.FIRST WET FACE WITH HOT WATER TO OPEN PORES THEN MASSAGE FOR ABOUT 1 OR 2 MINUTES

Cons:

DRIES FACE AND YOU GET FLAKY SKIN. BUT JUST USE MOISTURE OR ACNE CLEANSING PADS WHICH WILL ALSO WORK

IT WILL DRY YOUR SKIN BUT I FOUND THAT AFTER USING THIS I ALSO USE NOXZEMA PADS. GOOD COMBINATION AND WORKED FOR ME PS. NOXZEMA WILL BURN YOUR FACE AND MAKE IT RED SO IF GOING OUT GIVE IT SOME TIME

Pros:

Works well if you have don't a severe acne problem. A few blemishes, maybe some whiteheads, etc. Those can be stopped.

Cons:

Leaves the face a bit dry. Most of the time you're going to need moisturizer.

I have noticed recently, the acne wash smells different. It's as if they changed the formula. I'm still not sure if it is equally effective though. They did do a good job advertising with the commercial and you can find this product anywhere. Basically, this should work for most people. I'd compare with other products, but why stop a good thing? Especially when we're dealing with your appearance.

Pros:

face feels clean, zits reduced in size and number

Cons:

no cons so far

My skin is very oily, so Oil-free acne wash never dries it. It worked very well for me, and it's only been 2 days. I think it will get better and better. I hope it does something abou the marks too-- these are discolorations, not scars cos i'm not a scar-former.
