Pros:

Helped my breakout!
Oiliness in my skin lessened
Refreshing

Cons:

Not any that I can think of

This is a very good product, in the time I have been using it, it has helped out with my acne so much. For all of you that are complaining about the smell, GET OVER IT. It's an acne face wash, it doesn't need to smell perfect. You only have to smell it for like 30 seconds so it shouldn't matter. I personally don't even see what's wrong with the smell.

Pros:

- Smells AWESOME!
- Face felt soft in the SHOWER.

Cons:

- Made my face tight after using.
- Didn't help AT ALL with my acne; made it slightly worse.
- Caused dry patches.
- Made my pimples appear more red

When I first bought this product, I was excited to try it and see the 'magic' the commercial promised. While I showered, I applyed it to my face as instructed and washed it off to the feeling of smooth skin. (with small bumps of acne on the chin and nose) I was ecstatic that I ALREADY felt a difference. When I got out of the shower, I felt my face again, trying to believe the amazement I had felt earlier. It was gone. Instead I felt tight, dry skin. I looked a tad closer, happiness seeping away, and saw dry patches on my cheeks. One thing I didn't have to squint my eyes to see was my chin and nose. The pimples were inflammed and looked even worse. (I could be imagining that with the sudden disappointment, though) I decided that it might be temporary, and went to bed. Wrong. When I gazed in the mirror that morning, I was devistated. My chin (which is by far my worst acne area) was inflammed and glowing red, practically. Another new bugger was present, also. My nose wasn't as bad. I really only have one or two pimples on the sides of my nose, hiding them mainly. But my nose was rough feeling, looking slightly red as well. My cheeks were rough and felt like the equivelent of sand-paper, maybe. It was awful. I stopped using the product - switched to green tea and aloe vera - and have seen a dramatic result. I currently have two big volcanos on my chin, mainly from hormones and stress, but those are aready decreasing in size, I've noticed. All in all - I won't buy it again. It's a terrible product with harsh chemicals that caused my skin to worsen.

Pros:

cleans your face from oils/dirt
tightens pores

Cons:

doesn't clean up acne
irritates sensitive areas
causes blackheads

If you need a wash to just clean your skin, this is it. It didn't clean up my acne. It will leave skin feeling very tight. If you have rough areas on your face, be careful. It caused my cheeks to get very irratated and it caused blackheads all over my nose.

Pros:

Reduces Size of Pimples
Feels good when used

Cons:

Does not clear acne
Causes irritation, dryness and flaking.
Stings eyes.
Causes Blackheads and Whiteheads

After months of using this product, it didn't work for me. During the first few month of using this product, I saw my pimples had reduced in size though my blackheads and whiteheads still remained the same. As I continued using it, I began to breakout and more pimples, whiteheads and blackheads started appearing on my forehead, sides of my noses and on my chin. It also started to cause dryness to my face and my skin began to flake. When you use the product, it feels like it is really cleansing your skin but for me, it really didn't. Be careful when using it, because it does sting your eyes. In my opinion, you could try it, but it really isn't worth the money. It may work for you depending on your skin type, but it didn't work for me. Just make sure you have a moisturiser with tis product because it does cause dryness and can irritate your skin.

Pros:

reduced the size of acne

Cons:

smelled bad
bad bottle
gave me a strange bumpy rash

The very first time I tried this i thought it was fantastic! The night (2nd try) i used it, my skin started drying out a bit, i put on moisturizer thinking no big deal, the next morning i woke up with a strange bumpy , red , rash that was very irritated. i tried to continue putting moisuterizer on it, it didn't even get hydrated at all, and i knew at that point i couldn't continue to use the product. Then again, if i were you, give it try, may work for you. It didn't for me, I also have sensitive skin so that may be apart of the result.

Pros:

Cleans face
reduces red acne..down to little bumps at least

Cons:

Not good for oily skin..PERIOD
doesnt remove acne but makes it less noticable
Drying for my cheeks
Weird feeling on my face.

Im in my teens and after trying several neutrogena products, I have found that this is definately a big fat NO. This makes my combination skin more oily which is quite embarassing (T-zone only), dries my cheeks because it is too harsh, and it feels like a roller of wax just went over my face after washing with this. It doesn't give that clean feeling but was successful in removing my stubborn makeup so I guess it does clean? On the bright side, it made a red bump reduce to a skin colored littler bump but wasnt successful enough to completely clear it up. Everyone, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!
