June 14, 2009

Pros:

-Makes you feel refreshed after using it.
-Works really well with mild acne.
-Good for cystic acne (big bumpy pimples), not the best for people with little whiteheads (they should get something more moisturizing).

Cons:

-Drys-out skin after long-term usage, especially in colder environments (although I don't use moisturizures).
-Stains some towels (probably the acid in it).
-Smells bad unless you rinse it all of (new grapefruit-scented product smells good, tho

I've been using it fot about 2 years, and it has worked pretty well. If I use it too much, though, it dries-out my skin and makes my acne worse, so I use this weird "Miracle II" to wash my face when it feels greasy. I think using it once or twice a day works well, but try to avoid using it too much in the Winter or whenever it's cold, because it really dries-out your face then T_T. Also, even though this has a type of acid in it, it doesn't sting you face/cuts/ext. at all, really.

Pros:

totally does its job, leaves skin clean and clear

Cons:

smell is kinda weird, lots of suds, couple minutes afterwards skin felt dry and itchy

try it because it totally does its job but the irritation is kinda annoying, but maybe it'll work better for you!

Pros:

it leaves your skin fresh, clears up minor acne but not the severe acne. I have oily skin and it really helped me with that and its cheap!

Cons:

leaves skin dry, doesn't really help with difficult acne

it helps with oily skin and it's a gresat cleanser but this will not clear up your acne

Pros:

It is mild so does not make acne worse.
It removes make up really well leaving a fresh
feeling. I use it twice a day daily!

Cons:

It can dry up the skin but use a moisturizer to prevent the dryness especially in cold weather.

It is mild and does not aggrevate acne. Might suit you.

Pros:

eliminated those little small breakouts i always had.

Cons:

dry my face up! i use St. Ives moisturizer. trust me the two product combine well!

I always had small breakouts during "that time of the month" plus when something big comes up (i.e. tests, parties, dates etc..) Well I started using it && in no longer than a week and I have started seeing major changes. I don't see my breakouts no longer. I also have very oily skin so It works well even though it dries my face up! I apply St. Ives moisturizer and I'm ready to go! Puberty come and mess with my face now!!

Pros:

Seems to deep cleanse skin very well. My skin feels clean and refreshed every time I use it.

Cons:

For whatever reason, it is difficult to find sometimes. I usually buy 2 at a time so I don't run out. Open container packaging.

Works very well and is a good face wash if you have acne. You only need to use a small amount... be careful because it's easy to use too much since this isn't in the usual tube packaging. I use it with the [link removed] system that I'm using now as the cleanser.

Pros:

Easy to use, fresh feeling, effective, zits become a lot less prominent/go away completely,

Cons:

leaves your skin a little dry but that's nothing a moisturizer can't fix

I love this stuff! I've tried using other acne products for my zits, but those always left my face feeling goopy or parched and barely made an impact. The oil-free acne wash is the only thing that's actually been making a difference! My skin is visibly cleaner with so few blemishes. Plus it leaves my face feeling so nice and soft, it's great. Try this stuff out!

Pros:

gives you a fresh, tingly feeling; tightens pores

Cons:

dries out skin a bit; doesn't smell too good

I just started using Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash, and I can already see an improvement in my skin. It dries out your skin a bit, so feel free to use oil-free moisturizer if you want. The smell isn't that good either. But all that matters is that it gets rid of your acne, which it does!

Pros:

- it works quite well and helps clear my skin
- it's refreshing and gives a clean feeling
-doesn't burn
- inexpensive, yet works even better than some more expensive products
- can see good results in only 1-3 days
- good on sensitive

Cons:

- NOT good for travel
- dries skin, but not that much; it's ok most of the time
- most effective of uncomplicated non-severe acne, even though I consider my acne pretty bad

It really works and I actually noticed a big difference, even though it was inexpensive. If you keep using it, your acne will definitely clear. You should at least try it and see. So many people recommended it to me.
