Pros:

It is mild so does not make acne worse.
It removes make up really well leaving a fresh
feeling. I use it twice a day daily!

Cons:

It can dry up the skin but use a moisturizer to prevent the dryness especially in cold weather.

It is mild and does not aggrevate acne. Might suit you.

Pros:

eliminated those little small breakouts i always had.

Cons:

dry my face up! i use St. Ives moisturizer. trust me the two product combine well!

I always had small breakouts during "that time of the month" plus when something big comes up (i.e. tests, parties, dates etc..) Well I started using it && in no longer than a week and I have started seeing major changes. I don't see my breakouts no longer. I also have very oily skin so It works well even though it dries my face up! I apply St. Ives moisturizer and I'm ready to go! Puberty come and mess with my face now!!

Cons:

My face broke out with worse than it ever has before. I never even had this much acne as a teenager!

I bought this product because I had a couple of pimples along the jaw line. After using this product for about a month, I realized that it was breaking my face out terribly with pimples. Once the pimples dried up,they left several black spots on my face!! At first I thought that it was supposed to get worse before I would see it actually get rid of the jaw line pimples that I was getting. But after continuing to use it and realizing how horrible my skin was looking, I discontinued using it because I figured maybe it was just too strong for my skin. I then gave it to my teenager who has some teenage acne. Well, after he used it for about a week, I noticed that his face was breaking out the same way that mine did, but worse!! I had to make him an appointment with the derm dr. who told him to immediately stop using that product. I am still battling terrible breakouts and spots on my skin. I must make an appt. for myself with the derm dr. this week to try and correct this issue.

Pros:

This product works soo fast and it cleans my skin in 3 days and it also helps prevent acne to get worsening.

Cons:

It dries out your skin but when using a moisturiser it is ok.

I tried proactiv and i used it before going to bed and i woke up and i had acne. I thought it first would clean out and then clean the acne but it didnt and it got even worse! I stopped using proactiv and i had bought this the oil-free wash long time ago. I started using it again, morning and night, and within the 3 days, all the acne proactiv gave were GONE. Neutrogena is a really good product for me and i LOVE IT! I dont care if it is too expensive because it really works and i have been given advice to people close to me, not ot use proactiv because it doesn't work but to use Neutrogena.

Pros:

it does a good job of taking of your make-up

Cons:

dries out the face...doesn't really get rid of the acne or blackheads

its a good cleanser to use i have been using it to wash my face on and off for 4 years. I think maybe my face has become somewhat ammune to it. I do like that it will take off make-up and any other residue that is on your face unlike some other cleansers

Pros:

Easy to use, Clears up face pretty well, noticable results after only a few uses.

Cons:

Don't use it if you have sensitive skin, it will dry it up.

Works great if you're acne is not over the top, and helps prevent new breakouts.

Pros:

Seems to deep cleanse skin very well. My skin feels clean and refreshed every time I use it.

Cons:

For whatever reason, it is difficult to find sometimes. I usually buy 2 at a time so I don't run out. Open container packaging.

Works very well and is a good face wash if you have acne. You only need to use a small amount... be careful because it's easy to use too much since this isn't in the usual tube packaging. I use it with the [link removed] system that I'm using now as the cleanser.

Pros:

Worked well on my acne, didn't dry out my face unless I used more than once a day. I have oily skin so you may want to use with a moisturizer if you have drier skin.

Cons:

the pump bottle is not ideal for traveling, you may want to get the cream cleanser of this b/c it has a snap close.

I have used this since I was a freshman in high school and it has worked well to keep my skin pretty clear. It's a great basic product to have.
