Pros:

Gets deep down into pores, i could definitely tell my skin was clean.
I didn't have a problem with it lathering, one pump was enough to clean my whole face.
Dried my blemishes better than any other cleanser.

Cons:

Made my face feel tight, but hey, i would much prefer a tight face than one that's insanely oily.

I would recommend this product to some that has COMBINATION or OILY skin, it does have tendency to over dry my skin and i have combination. People with dry or normal skin might experience more than just tight and dry skin, so just watch out. I've tried so many different cleansers, none of them work as well as this one. I can deal with the dryness effect as long as i know my skin is being cleaned.

Pros:

Clears acne up and keeps It quite clear.

Cons:

Makes face really dry.

I love this stuff. It takes a while for it to work, like any face/acne product. Helped my horrible acne go away along with Benzaclin. Favorite face wash!

Pros:

Pretty good. Doesn't totally get rid of acne. I have to use a moisturizer because it does dry out my skin. Simple and easy.

Cons:

It kind of stops working after a while.

I recommend it to anyone with mild acne that's not looking for a miracle working cleanser.

Pros:

Inexpensive cleanser
Helps fight acne
Cleans skin well

Cons:

Drying
Feeling of tightness

This was the first acne targeted cleanser I have tried and I'm still using it. After using it over the years, I like to switch up my cleansers once in a while so my skin doesn't get used to the product. Although it may be drying, it works well to fight acne. Make sure you moisturize after using it.

Pros:

Helps to clear face, does so within a few days. It also seemed to dry out my face, but not badly.

Cons:

It may dry out the face too much, but I now only use it once daily and its fine. But this was also due to using too much of it.

If you are not going to use too much and use the way that this site recommends for washing your face-lather the product and gently apply in small circular motions- it works great.

Pros:

-Leaves clean feel
-Helps with oily skin
-It helped reduce pimple swellings in my case, though not so much with overall pimples
-The smell's aromatic to me

Cons:

-Dries out skin like no other
-Slow results
-Doesn't fully remove dirt & grime

I was using this for a year before I switched off to a different cleanser for a month or two and that's when I realized that this helped me MUCH better than other cleansers. It has some very drying effects so I always use a facial lotion right after. I highly recommend that you moisturize after washing face with this. Overall, it's a pretty good acne controlling face wash. Use it about twice a day, and always remember to moisturize. Depends on the skin type though...

Pros:

- treats and prevents breakouts.
- gives the skin a nice deep clean feeling.

Cons:

- skin gets tight and dry after washing the product off.
- not for all skin types.

usually, my skin does not react to salicylic acid at all, but I was pleasantly surprised that it actually helped with the breakouts. I've only started to use this product a couple of days ago, and first impressions are important for me. This product made my skin feel really clean, although it dried out my face a bit..it's nothing that a moisturizer can't fix. I use this in junction with the Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide and I find that it works wonders. All you need is a reaaaaaaaally good moisturizer.

Feel a Difference

Pros:

Acne Medicated Cleanser
Beautiful Complexion
Prevents & Treats Breakouts

So I recently purchased this product. I was originally using CVS gentle cleansing wash. I was looking for a product that contained acne medication. While doing tons of research I decided to go out and purchase this cleanser. Even though there are many mixed reviews about this product; everyone's skin is different. This product just so happens to be working for me. I noticed a difference in my complexion of my skin. My face feels very clean and smooth. Along with all those great things it definitely treats my acne, and helps prevent new pimples. The smell is a little weird, but it's not terrible. Many people buy the pink grapefruit cleanser because the smell is better. But I find that I can overlook the smell of this cleanser since it's effective. Highly recommend for people who have some breakouts! Also, I had sunburn the other day, and two days after using this cleanser it has calmed done the redness, and now my skin is back to normal. Amazing!
