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:

- can find in any and most all drug stores
- fair price
- gets rid of excessive oil

Cons:

- over dries you skin like the sahara desert
- formed new acne

My face became rough because this product over dried my face (there was no oil or even a drop of moisture remaining on my face) and because it formed many new acnes (even in places on my face where I wouldnt get acne). I tried using even a small amount like the size of a pea to wash my face, but this product was still too strong for my skin to handle.

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

This product is extremely drying
Smell is overpowering
Not for sensitive skin
Allergic reactions

I would NOT recommend this product at all. I went to wash my face on the second day and felt tiny bumps all over my face. Thought nothing of it at first, thought maybe I should exfoliate, then after cleansing I looked in the mirror and my face was red raw and noticed the bumps that I had felt. I stopped using the product immediately and still 3 days later and the bumps have not gone away. DO NOT use this product! I don't have sensitive skin at all, I have always used harsh cleansers and toners and have never experienced anything like this! This product is complete crap!

Pros:

Reduces oil
Reduces Acne
Worked well for me

Cons:

Dries skin, but works well with oil free moisturiser.

Great product. I've had acne since age 11 and this product is one of the first to work. It makes my skin feel clean and actually had a remarkable effect in clearing up my face. First two weeks your acne will get worse while it washes up the under-skin dirt and then it gets really clear. I've been using it for two years now.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

WARNING: Do not use this product if you have very sensitive skin! I used this product only twice and my face broke out into little red bumps and my face and eyes became very swollen.
This product irritated my skin very much.
My acne was very light to begin with and after using this product my face became worse. Now my mouth area has little red pimples and it's not getting any better.

It also leaves your skin very dry and you may notice little whiteheads on your face.

Do not use this product. I hated it!

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:

-Minimizes oil (by drying out skin)

Cons:

-Dries skin excessively
-Creates bumpy rash

I have extremely oily skin and I thought that this product would reduce the oil, but it really just dried my skin to a very severe degree. I am usually not one to excessively moisturize, but this product dried my skin out within the first use and caused me to moisturize too much, which therefore has clogged my pores. I also got a strange rash on the bottom half of my face from being dried out, and it completely changed the texture of my previously smooth (yet acne-prone) skin. Too harsh.
