Pros:

clears face of acne

August 8, 2009

Pros:

Easy
Works

Cons:

Doesn't prevent all breakouts

Since starting it (switching from non-medicated wash) skin improved considerably. However I still break out from time to time so not cure (for a cure you'd probably have to combine it with some internal things as well) If this is too drying for you, try a lower percentage of salicylic acid or something in cream format

Pros:

It is easy to use, seems to wash clean easily, and doesn't smell too bad.

Cons:

I thought this was okay at first, but after a month I broke out worse than I ever have before in my life. After reading some of the reviews I decided it may be due to this product.

It's okay. Worth a shot for someone with mild acne or someone using it simply for prevention.

Pros:

Its affordable/ Smells ok

Cons:

I only used this product twice. I eneded up with terrible dry itchy skin, amost like sandpaper! around my cheekbone area, upper lip and chin. I dont have severe acne just a few bumps hee and there. I dont ever get rashes.

Pros:

-Faded my acne and made it less visible
- Gives you that clean wash feel after
- Smells good

Cons:

- At first it seemed fine but after a few uses it dried out my skin and left it flaky and red....tried using moisturizer but i burned for a while and made it red
My acne is not completely gone but it did fade it.

Works good as a quick touch up product and minimizes the appearance of your acne but leaves your skin dry and flaky if you use it too many times and moisturizers make it burn for a few minutes and turn your skin red. I would recommend using it only once in a while or every second day because if it's used everyday you will most likely have dry irritated skin.

Pros:

Dries up white heads fairly quickly.

Cons:

Way too harsh. It stripped my skin of all moisture, making it red and irritated, made acne worse.

One of the worst things you can do regarding acne is strip your skin of moisture, or make it unbalanced either way. This did just that. It made my skin feel really tight and dry, and also made the inflammation and other redness worse.

Pros:

If you have oily skin(which I didnt) it drys it out very well.

Cons:

I had an alergic reaction which gave me small little bumps.

Basicly I bought this product because it said 'acne-wash' but it just gave me bumps on my face basicly making it worse, this is a peice of sh*t.

Cons:

my skin got overdried and very ashe , it was hard to do face movement

if you have sensitive skin this product is not for you
July 2, 2008

Pros:

I thought this product would be ideal for my very oily skin.

Cons:

After 3 days of use my eyes began to swell then my whole turned red and swollen followed by small lumps all over. Had to go to doctor for antihistamines. Swelling still there 4 days after I stopped using product.

I obviously had an allergic reaction to the product and would never use it again.

Pros:

none

Cons:

-Irritates skin
-makes skin way more sensitive
-gave me more pimples
-skin became dry "clean" then super oily
-made pigmentation marks last longer & stand out

Stop using acne products & face washes. Try the water only method. You will be glad you did. Once I stopped using acne washes, my skin went from severe to mild.
