Pros:

clears a few pimples
smells nice

Cons:

doesn't prevent pimples from popping up again
leaves skin tight and dry WITHOUT moisturizer after

I see a lot of people have been saying that you break out after using it once, and that is because every time you use a new product it charges through your skin layers and pushes the pimples deep down that are generating that would appear in like a week and just pushes them out. That's why you break out when you try a new product. I have been using this product for a LONG time. I am growing out of loving it because I need something a little more effective. Although, it is a nice product. BUT you DO need a good moisturizer after you use this. All these other people obviously haven't been moisturizing that's why they are getting the dry effect. MOISTURIZER IS KEY GUYS!!

Pros:

-The smell
-How it lathered
-Cleared some acne
-Reduced redness

Cons:

-Some acne left
-Dried out my skin

I tried this and it made some of my blemishes go away, not all of them. It made my skin a little dry and tight, which I didn't like. The smell was good, but I think it was too strong. I loved this product until I realized it stopped working. I used this for about 3 weeks and after the 2nd week I saw my acne going back to what it was before. This is a good product for people who don't have severe acne.

Pros:

clears acne when used consistently, easy to use, closes pores, gets rid of oil

Cons:

drys out skin, can cause skin to burn slightly when sweating

I would recommend this product to someone with skin on the oily side. You should definitely use a moisturizer afterward on your cheeks, at the least. This product works for me when I stick to it and I will continue to buy it. One thing I did notice is that when sweating, if you wipe your face to much, your skin can burn slightly around sensitive areas. Hope this helped.(:

Pros:

Dries up acne fast and makes skin way smoothe. Also closes poors. =)

Cons:

Dries out skin a bit so use with moisturizer. DO NOT USE if you have dry skin, aimed for oily skin.

Gets rid of pimples, need to use with moisturizer.

Pros:

-Takes care of heavily affected areas

-Does not leave a shiny or oily appearance

Cons:

-Can dry out, not often for me

-If not used consistently, acne will usually re-appear

I use this acne cleanser 1-2 times a day. It almost fully cleared my toughest acne spots. I also used the spot treatment from Neurtrogena along with this acne wash. I also noticed if you use this acne wash right after a shower, the results may be better.

Pros:

Cleanses skin and opens pores

Cons:

May be too drying

Use twice a day, but not in large amounts. Gently follow up with a moisturizer after. Works great for clogged or oily skin.

Pros:

started clearing my skin after the first day and it feels really good on the skin

Cons:

dries out the skin a little

I have had acne for some years and could never really find a product that would kill the acne and save my skin. This product has really come through for me. The first day I tried it, I had a really bad break out. And for it to start clearing my skin the first time, it really felt good. But always moisturize afterward!!!

Pros:

-Reduces Oil
-Reduces Acne
(-:

Cons:

-Does dry your skin up a bit (to me it did around my chin so it felt itchy so I avoided using the product around that area so it went away :p)

Overall it does make your skin look better and feel fresh. If you have light acne, using it twice a day will be enough (in the morning & before going to bed) .

Pros:

Cleared acne in a month
Gentle on skin
Can miss a day without major breakout
Smells nice
Inexpensive

Cons:

Dries skin out without any moisturizer

I love this product! It's very gentle and I have combination skin, so it was very hard to find a good acne cleanser product for sensitive skin like mine. But, Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash is my new best friend! It has cleared up my skin amazingly and it's so gentle. The only bad thing about it is that it can dry out your skin if you don't apply any moisturizer on your face after washing it.
