Pros:

Cheap
Smells Okay
Last a While

Cons:

EXTREMELY Drying
Broke my face out BAD
Made my face burn and flake

This stuff is cheap and it lasts a while so you get your bing for your buck. My skin is REAZLLY oily and this stuff dried it right up. The first two days, my skin was amazing, but now it burns, flakes, and have little white bumps all over my chin and jaw line. It's horrible. I wouldn't use this period especially if your skin isn't oily, IT MIGHT ERASE YOUR FACE!

Pros:

Gets rid of oil and bacteria from face.
Smells good.
Good price.

Cons:

Does not get rid of acne.
Dries skin.
Leaves redness to acne.

This product is okay if your using a great moisturizer, but it actually makes acne more dry and scabby, leaving your face full of red blemishes. Go buy clean & clear or Dermalogica, both work to prevent more break outs.

Pros:

-Smells fine
-Makes skin feel clean

Cons:

-Did nothing to clear breakouts
-Irritated my skin with the mix of other products

I normally do not like Neutrogena products for the most part and this particular product contributes to my dislike towards them. (However, I do like my Neutrogena Skin Clearing Makeup very much.) I did not notice that this product did anything to help my breakouts, but I cannot say I recall it causing any breakouts. I am sure a main reason I did not care for this product was because I mixed it with another product from a different brand that very well contains a different active ingredient from the one in which this contains. Regardless, it did nothing for my acne and turned me partially against Neutrogena products.

Pros:

Reduced my acne after a couple days of use, made my face A TON smoother, my face is almost COMPLETELY clear after a few days

Cons:

Smelled odd, weird texture, a little pricey

It reduced my acne by a lot, which is why I bought it.

Pros:

+ works very good on back acne
+ works on facial acne

Cons:

+ very drying
+ takes a while to work

when i first got this, it was soooo drying and i had no moisturizer. you should NOT use a pump for one time, just a very small pea size. it lathers up like a soap. it takes time, it really does. i broke out when i used this, i stopped using for a couple weeks, started using it again, and now it works (: weird right? but you DEFINITELY need a moistizer after you use this. pleeaaaseee! lol

Nothing.

Don't waste your money! Doesn't clear skin.

Pros:

none

Cons:

severely dries out skin

Thought i'd get something cheap to see how it compares to expensive products, big mistake! This dried out my skin to the point where I got rashes on my face and my skin began to peel. As soon as I used it I felt like my face was much dryer and then after the second day it started to feel irritated, when I looked closer I noticed my skin becoming very coarse, starting to peel and red blotches. I used moisturizer but it didn't help, it just hurt/stung. The only thing I could do was stop using it, after only 3 days. My skin is oily which is why I was so shocked. My t zone is usually very oily but that was the place where it dried up the most. Don't be cheap, get the good stuff!

Pros:

None

Cons:

My face took on this weird consistency when I started using this product. It was like it was dry and bumpy. Really weird and creepy feeling. Oh, and my pimples didn't go away. Go figure.

Skip this.

Pros:

Cleared my skin within two to three days

Cons:

It dried my skin so bad, its been a week and the skin on the edge of my nose and above my chin is peeling and it burns to mousturize

Works well of your willing to deal with the burning dryness
