Pros:

gets rid of pimples

Cons:

it drys up your skin REALLY bad. But, for a good cause

This is a really good product and for everyone who seems to say that the drying up in the face is not good, it is because all that means is that its getting rid of all the dead skin that is creating your pimples.and for those whos skin turned red or felt like it burned, it means that in order to peel off the dead skin, it must burn it first. So BOTTOM LINE is, that it is a good product

Pros:

Smells good and is very affordable

Cons:

Makes skin dry and is hard to get all of it out of your skin. It got rid of my pimples but made my skin dry and flakey

It Works pretty good but you HAVE TO PUT A COCOA BUTTER LOTION OR STICK ON YOUR FACE AFTERWARD. If you dont you skin will stay feeling tight and irritated.

Pros:

cleans face? smells okay. easy bottle

Cons:

orange, soapy, extremely drying, irritating

back in the good ol' seventh grade I didn't use any face washes. Nothing on my face ever except shower water. My face was clear n oil free. At some point before I went to bed I started washing my face with this stuff. I remember hating it...but still using it. it made my face so shiny and tight. Then as days progressed my face got oilier and oiler and redder and zittier. Well what do you ya know i got an acne problem. I didn't realize what was going on until I stopped using a lot of products this year...and my skin is clearing up

Pros:

It makes your face VERY clean....

Cons:

Doesn't clear your skin at all. Makes it dry, flakey and tight. Hard to make facial expressions. Painful to the touch afterwards. Any product (moisturizer, face masks) used after washing with this will burn.

Its terrible. Excessively drying. Anything will burn skin after using this. I stopped using it and washed with another product and my skin is STIL dry from it and I've never had dry skin. If I cry, my face actually burns from the tears, its pretty scary. Seriously, it made me skin worse. The first day, I was all excited.. like.. oh.. it looks better already...okay, so its a little drying, i'll just use extra moisturizer. HA right. I put like.. 7times as much lotion on my face as i normally would and its STILL flakey. Its ridiculous. Don't bother with it.

Pros:

very fresh feeling after you use it, after a while of using it your acne will go away and stay away. This is great for people with bumpy skin not so much acne.

Cons:

if you stop using it after a while of using it you will break out.

You should buy it if your skin gets flaky but not for acne, it gets the dead skin cells out.

Pros:

It smells good; keeps acne under control

Cons:

MAJOR DTRYNESS!

It's really okay, it leaves your skin feeling clean. It does dry out your skin like hek the first two weeks. It doesn't exactly prevent acne though. Yes, it keeps it under control, but bottom line... I STILL HAVE ACNE! But I think for people with light acne would really benifit from this product.

Pros:

Cleared up the pimples along my hair line that were impossible to get rid of but nowhere else.

Cons:

Frightfully drying, especially considering the minimal effect it has on pimples.

I started this product four days ago, in the beginning it was a little dry but not worrying, then the burning started around my eyes on the third night so I didnt use it again. I woke up this morning with my skin feeling like sand paper even though I have naturally oily skin (and I didn't even use it last night). My eyes are very swollen and puffy and it looks like my eyes have huge thick wrinkles. My eyes are droopy and the lids pretrude over my eyes. My face and neck are itchy, burning and red and I have little lumps all along my jaw line and cheeks. My skin is bright red and my pores are huge. I start back at University tomorrow, what a sh*t start to the semester!! I rang Nutrogena this afternoon and they didn't care in the slightest. All I know is that I don't have time to go to the doctor so I hope this starts to clear up soon, I have anxiety and this situation is not going to to help!! Thanks for listening :)

Pros:

None

Cons:

Swelling for the eyes

I bought this product used it for a day then I checked acne.org for reviews then stopped. I should of read acne.org first because 2 days later my eyes had swollen up. I looked somebody had punched me. Be very wary of this product.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Tiny bumpy rash all over face and stings my eyes

I only bought this coz i couldn't find my usual product. My bf and I share it and he instantly complained about the smell and I complained about it easily stinging my eyes unlike our usual cleanser. Within a couple of days I noticed tiny bumps all over my face which felt rough and looked terrible. I knew that it was an allergic reaction and have decided to cease using the product.
