December 29, 2006

Pros:

Smells nice, and doesn't burn like other cleansers.

Cons:

Looks like soap!

This stuff is expensive, but I liked it. Don't keep it near an orange soap dispenser because they look identical. (So someone could fill it up with hand soap and then you have to buy a new one!)

Pros:

It helps clear skin fast, It leaves my skin feeling fresh, It smells really good, It stops you from getting anymore zits

Cons:

It takes a couple days to take effect, so don't rate it bad until youve used it for a little while.

Best I've used so far, but I'll probably get 1 or 2 products to go with it, Don't listen to the bad ratings. Buy it. And I have sensitive skin, but it doesn't dry my skin, it almost feels like its moisterizing it.

Not recommended

Cons:

Itchiness
Dryness
Roughness

The day I got the product, I look at reviews only 1 or 2 people recommended it. I tried it anyways, big mistake. The first day my face felt fine and my acne was starting to go away. The next day, after using it 2 times a day, my face was VERY itchy and started to get really dry! I read people said that in the reviews but I didn't think it was true because I was fine the first day. It takes away all of your good oils along with bad, leaving your skin DRY. It doesn't work that well with getting rid of acne on the other hand.

Pros:

Smells good
Nice tingly feeling
Soft skin

Cons:

Irritation
Itchiness
Red skin

When I first tried this, I had mild acne. This product was very drying even with a moisturiser. Maybe I just have sensitive skin, but this made my skin very itchy, red and irritated. Did nothing for my acne, except make it worse. Now I have severe acne and this is definitely not going to help that. If you have mild acne, this might work, but it's not as effective for more severe acne.

Pros:

Smells great
Controlled my oil problem
Cleared skin

Cons:

Extreme dryness causing itchy skin!!

I loved this product the first few days because I have really oily skin and it fixed that. However, after a few days I have extremely dry skin and it's chapped and itches really bad. No amount of lotion has helped. So not using this anymore!

Pros:

It's better than nothing

Cons:

I takes more than one month for a blemish too go away....

In the beginning (when I started it 3 years ago) it worked, now it doesn't.....

Pros:

Cleared acne away

Cons:

Dry out skin sort of

It cleared all my acne away! But the thing is, I have dry skin now. So I use the neutrogena moisterizer

Pros:

None!

Cons:

Smells bad
Hard to wash off face
REALLY dries skin out
Makes your face red

I used this for a week, my face broke out and it dried my skin out so bad! Even if I just touched my skin it would flake. Two weeks later, after lots of moisturizer, my face is finally stopping to flake. This is a horrible product! DO NOT USE THIS! YOU MAY AS WELL USE PURE ACID!!

Pros:

None (for me at least)

Cons:

- Irritated my skin.
- Made my skin feel tight.
- Gave me blackheads on my nose!
- Made my skin dull and rough!

I am very disappointed with this product... it did NOT work for me at all!!!!!! It just made my skin tight, dry and it never dried up my acne... I stuck with it for over a month and it just seemed like it did nothing for my face.. I believe it was because of the salicylic acid. I am probably allergic to that chemical.. OR my face is just not meant for that chemical.
