Pros:

It worked in the beginning, really well, it cleared up my acne.

Cons:

In the beginning, it dried up my face and my face started peeling from it. I would have to use a lot of moisturizer. Then after a while, it started making my face REALLY OILY. It was really bad. You could see the oil on my face in the mirror. Gross.

It works in the beggining, but you have to switch to something else after a while. it stopped working when it made my face oily. If you use it, change to something else after about 2 months.

Pros:

It makes acne subside and works very well, it smells nice, it's cheap.

Cons:

It's a TAD drying for me, but so are ALL acne products, and it doesn't make me peel or anything.

Buy it, especially for light/kinda light acne.

Pros:

Made my skin feel clean, helped clear up my skin, made my skin feel soft

Cons:

DRY I went so dry I started peeling-it could've been due to the Neutrogena Combination Skin Moisturiser I was using though-since I have stopped using that my skin has got better. Also the dryness got better after I stuck with the products for a while

It was good and worked well, although don't expect it to clear up all your acne. A rich moisturiser is needed though, so as to counteract the dryness. If you do experience dryness, it might be good 2 stick with it for a couple of weeks, as mine did get better as my skin climatised to the product.

Not good for skin that only breaks out a little bit

Pros:

*NOTE* I USED Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash REDNESS SOOTHING.
Very soothing and gentil.
NO MORE PIMPLES!

Cons:

Do you think I have any?

I went to the store looking to buy just the regular Oil Free Acne Wash (the orange one). But when I was skimming through the isle looking for it, I saw something else that caught my eye. what it was is Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash Refness Soothing. It was the coulor that struck my eye. it was a minty, lime green. Another thing that caught my eye is that it contains Aloe and Camomile. I thought it would be great for my sensitive skin. Boy was I right! This cleanser lathers up nicley, smells AMAZING! I prefer this smell better than the other Pink Grapefruit one. Over all, this is amazing and less harsh than the regular orange one. it still contains the active ingrediant (2% Salicylic Acid) , but it just has those two added ingrediants that make it YEN TIMES BETTER! So Dan, lay off that regimine you got going now and try this! And for people who are scetchy about trying this, TRY IT! The only thing you have to loose is YOUR ACNE!

Pros:

Prevents new breakouts, Treats existing breakouts, soothes and cleanses the face.

Cons:

overdries the skin, may be too harsh on the first try.

I have been using this for several monthes now, it has done nothing but take care of my zits! sure, there's a dryness that comes with it, but what the heck? no pain no gain as they say! and if you want clear skin then you gotta accept the dry skin, since it's known that (oil = acne) so yeah! (no oil = no acne). HOW TO USE: Do this carefully if you wanna see actual results... 1: Wet face and neck with water 2: Apply 1 (or two) pump into went hands and lather. 3: Massage face and neck with lather, gently. 4: Keep it on face for a minute atleast (you can actually feel the cleanser penetrating deep into pores) 5: Wash cleanser away (again gently) 6: Pat dry with a soft clean towel.

Pros:

Easy to find in stores, removes oil thoroughly, does minimize break outs

Cons:

Irritating, can be very bad for sensitive skin

When I first got this product I was amazed at how clean my skin feels after using it, and how it seemed to calm down my acne. However I noticed rashes and red bumps appear after a few days. So I stopped, but then weeks later made the mistake of using it again. Very bad idea as I got nasty rashes all over my face. I ended up throwing away the whole bottle. If you plan on purchasing this, they do sell this in a little travel sized bottle. You might want to try it out first and see if it agrees with your skin.
