Pros:

Great for oily skin in summer
Good for mild to moderate acne in the summer
A little goes a long way; use just one pump!

Cons:

Contains a strong detergent; do not use this product more than twice a day!
Will dry out skin that is being treated with a strong anti-acne cream
Probably too strong for winter use

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser This is an excellent cleanser for my somewhat sensitive, combination mature skin on my face in the hot and humid weather. I wash with it twice a day, using warm water and I have not had a breakout since I started to use it a few weeks ago. My acne is not that severe, but I do tend to get deep pimples on my cheeks that leave scars, and also smaller ones on my chin. If skin feels dry afterwards, spritz or dab lightly with water and apply a TINY bit of Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer lightly all over face. (You always need less moisturiser than you think; the key is to apply only a little moisturizer to damp skin to help seal in moisture.) No more than twice a week, I also use Clean & Clear Soft In-Shower Facial to supplement the action of the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, but I use this revitalising scrub mask only because I do not have any sensitive pimples on my face at the moment.

Pros:

Cleared up my acne very well, and left my face feeling smooth, and fresh. Smells wonderful!

Cons:

At first my face became extremely dry, but as i continued to use it, my face became accustomed to the wash, and doesn't get so severely dry. the dryness goes away if you stick to using the product consistently!

This is the first facial wash that i seen a noticeable difference in my skin. However everybody's face is different!

Pros:

It made my skin smoother, softer and whiter. Smell is addictive xD

Cons:

Doesn't really seem to do TOO much on acne. Mine is still there =. I'm not really sure if it does anything on acne since I still have breakouts during my menstrual cycle...

It's a good cleanser, but doesn't do squat on acne. Some have said it takes a long time to work, but is a month too long? =

Pros:

HELPS clear skin, doesn't smell awful, affordable

Cons:

Doesn't clear skin completely (but it does help A LOT), dries out skin a little (just remember to use moisturizer; I do and I'm fine)

I've been using this for a while, and my skin has been getting better as time goes on. You just have to stick with it. Definitely try it AT LEAST.

Pretty Effective
Clears up acne pretty fast depending on the size but might dry out your face.

Pros:

It gets rid of acne and clears your skin gradually! It also leaves your skin feeling new,clean, and fresh as well!

Cons:

Dries your skin
Leaves skin feeling tight and stiff

I bought neutrogena trying yo get rid of my acne, so i got the oil free acne wash and it cleared my skin within 2-3 weeks so it's good! However after I used it my skin felt really dry and tight! My skin started to peel and it was really noticable too!

Pros:

Lathers well, fresh feeling, clearly mild cases of acne, good packaging, wide availability

Cons:

Slightly drying to my combination skin

I was able to purchase this on sale for three dollars, so I figured I didn't have much to lose if it was wrong for my skin. I've used my Clinique 3-Step for years, since it keeps my skin balanced and healthy, but I need to add in an acne-medicated face wash at nighttime to keep my skin from breaking out badly. This works for me! It has an easy pump bottle (one pump is enough for me, as it lathers well and has a clean consistency), and the smell isn't too bad, though it reminds me of baby powder. All in all, it doesn't dry out my skin awfully and it gets rid of my major acne problems within a week or two of initial use. Also, there is no strong menthol, which I prefer in my face products.
