August 12, 2009

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.

Pros:

smells decent, easy to use

Cons:

irritating

used this wash for 2 days and now my skin has all these little whitheads and itchy bumps on it. It has completely irritated my skin. Neutrogena should discontinue this product because most of the reviews I've read have showed the same results

Pros:

It smells nice, it lathers up well, and I like the packaging.

Cons:

It did not remove any of my acne. It completely dried up my skin and made it flaky. My face was hurting a lot after I used this product.

I don't recommend this for people with sensitive skin.

Pros:

nothing really.

Cons:

it didn't work at all, it made my skin dry and irritated my eyes.

it might be good for before with not bad acne, but mine is really bad and it didn't help at all, for blackheads or zits, even though it said it would treat both.

Pros:

not oily, started to get rid of acne.

Cons:

i couldn't stick it out to see if it was going to fix my acne, my face exploded into dry and itchy bumps and it's been a couple of days of trying to get rid of it.

it's not a good option, i don't have particularly sensitive skin and it still was way too harsh.

Pros:

Smells Good, Nice Exfoliating Beads

Cons:

Dries Out Skin, Doesn't Work

I used the grapefruit one and I love the smell but it does not work. I have sensitive skin and this product just dries it out and makes my skin irritated. Not worth it.
June 23, 2009

Pros:

- Just bought it, haven't notices anything dramatically bad happening to my face
- Got a great deal on it, almost seemed to be too good! (it was $1 for the orange bottle, 269ml)

Cons:

- Leaves face smooth, almost too smooth. Then dries out intensely afterwords (use a moisturizer with it!)

- Haven't had it for very long, will see how it works (and hoping for the best!)

Pros:

Cons:

dries skin and takes a long time to work

buy it with an other product
June 14, 2009

Pros:

-Makes you feel refreshed after using it.
-Works really well with mild acne.
-Good for cystic acne (big bumpy pimples), not the best for people with little whiteheads (they should get something more moisturizing).

Cons:

-Drys-out skin after long-term usage, especially in colder environments (although I don't use moisturizures).
-Stains some towels (probably the acid in it).
-Smells bad unless you rinse it all of (new grapefruit-scented product smells good, tho

I've been using it fot about 2 years, and it has worked pretty well. If I use it too much, though, it dries-out my skin and makes my acne worse, so I use this weird "Miracle II" to wash my face when it feels greasy. I think using it once or twice a day works well, but try to avoid using it too much in the Winter or whenever it's cold, because it really dries-out your face then T_T. Also, even though this has a type of acid in it, it doesn't sting you face/cuts/ext. at all, really.
