Pros:

Doesn't smell terrible

Cons:

Made my face extremely dry
didn't clear acne
didn't clear blackheads
very sticky

I bought this product a couple years ago, and used it for about a year. I didn't decide to review it until now. Every time I used to use it, my skin felt very sticky (I washed it off really well). Even right after I rinsed my face, it started becoming extremely dry, tight, and flakey. Even when I put moisturizer on the flakiness was still there. I used it for a year, thinking it would finally make my skin better. It didn't help with acne at all, just made my skin really dry.

Pros:

-Helped with oil at first

Cons:

-Dries skin up severely
-Too many chemicals
-Hard to wash off

I can't give it a 1, only because it did help a bit with the oil at first and it might have helped with the acne... maybe. Overall, I would definitely not recommend this product. Look elsewhere for your daily wash.

Pros:

affordable

Cons:

severely dried my skin, didn't improve my acne at all

This product didn't work for me. When I used it, I had to follow up with a moisturizer because of how dry my skin was afterward.

Pros:

-pump measures how much to use (one pump)

Cons:

-irritates skin
-dries skin

My acne was getting better using this product, but it became worse after week one or two. It has that tingling feeling after you use it. however, that feeling is a sign of skin overdrying... you can fix this by using a moisturizer, but it does not get rid of the irritation of the skin (pins and needles)

Pros:

Lathers well, washes away clean, oil-free, inexpensive, easily found

Cons:

Fragrance, doesn't travel well, didn't work for me

If your acne responds well to salicylic acid, this product may work for you. It didn't work for me- I need benzoyl peroxide

Pros:

It DOES help with oily skin, but too much. It got rid of the acne on my nose

Cons:

I got a HORRIBLE rash on either sides of my nose. Itches like crazy. Makes skin flaky

Buy this only if you want to get rid of oily skin. DOES NOT help with acne

Pros:

-Cheap
-Easy to Find
-Nice Smell

Cons:

-Dries Out Skin
-Does Not Work For Me

This product did NOT work for me. It dried out my skin terribly, even though I used moisteruizer (Neutrogena brand). It may work for you, but it definetely didnt work for me.

Pros:

none

Cons:

drying, doesnt do anything to acne other than make it worse

I've always thought I've had oily skin, but apperently I dont. After using this for about a week with no changes in my skin, my face started flaking a TON, just causing even more breakouts. I ket on using this for about a week, thinking that dryness was only a short term side affect. Well, boy was I wrong- my face got worse. I'll never use this again.
