July 20, 2007

Pros:

works pretty well, doesnt burn, doesnt leave oily skin

Cons:

sometimes dries out skin if you use it too often

try it, cuz it will at least reduce your acne- if not, then it will get rid of it all

Pros:

Doesn't make the face oily. Actually clears the face.

Cons:

Once in awhile I would get blemishes that weren't there to begin with.

It's good for people with few acne, but it dries the face a lot. It does work, but may take more than two weeks to tell

Pros:

-controls oil
-helps control light acne

Cons:

-stopped working

This was my go to cleanser when I was a teenager. It helped keep my light acne at bay. Now that I'm older(27) and have drier skin with more hormonal acne, this cleanser doesn't do anything for me. I used it for at least 5 years straight along with Nature's Cure topical cream and had only occasional breakouts. I would recommend this cleanser to those with oily skin and light acne.

Pros:

Easy
Works

Cons:

Doesn't prevent all breakouts

Since starting it (switching from non-medicated wash) skin improved considerably. However I still break out from time to time so not cure (for a cure you'd probably have to combine it with some internal things as well) If this is too drying for you, try a lower percentage of salicylic acid or something in cream format

Pros:

-Faded my acne and made it less visible
- Gives you that clean wash feel after
- Smells good

Cons:

- At first it seemed fine but after a few uses it dried out my skin and left it flaky and red....tried using moisturizer but i burned for a while and made it red
My acne is not completely gone but it did fade it.

Works good as a quick touch up product and minimizes the appearance of your acne but leaves your skin dry and flaky if you use it too many times and moisturizers make it burn for a few minutes and turn your skin red. I would recommend using it only once in a while or every second day because if it's used everyday you will most likely have dry irritated skin.

Pros:

Reduced my acne after a couple days of use, made my face A TON smoother, my face is almost COMPLETELY clear after a few days

Cons:

Smelled odd, weird texture, a little pricey

It reduced my acne by a lot, which is why I bought it.

Pros:

I squirted this product on the Neutrogena Wave. Cleans skin and may prevent small breakouts.

Cons:

Dried out skin, didn't really do anything for my acne.

If this product works for you, keep using it, but if you don't see any improvement in your skin, I recommend trying something different. It takes the surface oil off your face, but doesn't really deep clean or heal or prevent acne.

Pros:

- Clears skin fast.
- Easy to use!
- Not an oily product (oil-free)

Cons:

- Irritates skin the first couple of applications.
- Doesn't smell good.
- Hard to travel with.

This product clears acne, fast and leaves your skin fresh and clean.
