Pros:

Keeps mild acne under control if used daily.

Cons:

Drying....if you wash too hard and don't rinse it off very well you can get some irritation. Not for sensitive skin. Not a scrub.

Been using it for at least 5 years.

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

Does not clear acne/blackheads, severe drying of the skin, irritation occurs, itchy rash, tighness in the face, and creates an inflamed feeling along with a "swollen" looking face.

I've only recently purchased my product and within a day or two I began to have a severe reaction. And to my knowing, I can say I don't have a very sensitive skin type yet I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. It may say #1 product recommended by dermatologists but by most of the reviews this seems very untrue. Don't waste your time, get something better from Clean and Clear.

Pros:

cleans face well ( salycic acid )

Cons:

dried up way too much

i found this cleanser great the first time i used it, but the first time it was almost irritating though when it says on the bottle "gentle yet effective" i got red rashy, bumpy dried skin around my mouth, chin and nose. ( note: im on perscriptions such as differin 0.1% cream, and minocycline capsules. ) i will now reduce the use of this to once every / every other day. i will recommend this if you use moisterizor right after and using once every day or one every other day depending on sensitivity.

Pros:

It helps dry the skin.. and remove pimples (only till a certain extent)

Cons:

- It causes too much dryness at times.
- It will cause extreme irritation if used with another pimple clearing cream (Eg - Bioderma).
- It caused the development of yellow powder over my face.

Never use this cleanser with any other pimple clearing creams otherwise ur skin will suffer EXTREME irritation.. However its safe to use it alone.. However, as a teenager i still had new pimples coming up on my face (in very small numbers, say 2 or 3)..

Cons:

-Dried up skin
-Left a shine on the face
-Bad pump bottle (can't carry around for vacation)

I saw commercials on this product so I decided to try it out. At first, it was a good cleanser. I stopped using it and tried other products and came back to it once again. This time, it dried out my skin and left flaky patches on my nose, chin, EVERYWHERE. Im trying to get rid of this product and will never buy neutrogena cleansing products anymore because I also tried the pink grapefruit foaming scrub and it also dried up my skin and left a shine on the face.

-Cheap
-Easy to Find
-Nice Smell

Cons:

-Dries Out Skin

This product did NOT work for me. It dried out my skin terribly, even though I used moisteruizer (Neutrogena brand). It may work for you, but it definetely didnt work for me.

Pros:

it cleansed my face really well. It felt really fresh afterwards.

Cons:

It made my skin dry tho.. but if u use a mosterizer right after, you should be fine.

I really like it. i like it better than proactiv. dont buy proactiv. its really expensive, it makes u break out even more, and it dried out my skin insanely. and i used it for 5 months, and my acne was still there. im using the neugruena face wash now cause its really easy to use and inexpensive.
