Horrible

Pros:

Smells good

Cons:

Irritates skin
Itchy
Tightens the skin

I used this because my mom is a nanny for a dermatologist and she recommended it. It smells good and feels clean but my skin felt soo right after the first couple uses and then one morning I woke up with tiny red and itchy bumps all over my face!! They look so bad! This face wash was the only new thing I brought into my skin care routine. I'm thinking that my skin may not like this brand at all because even after using the naturals facial scrub this happened. I have combination skin with mild acne, but thanks to this wash right now it's closer to severe :(

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.

Cons:

Burns face
Dries skin
Puffiness to cheeks

Horrible product, I used it for three days and notice it was making my face dry. Mind you even if I put facial lotion in it dried that out immediately. Then it started to make my face BURN and become red....I want my money back

Pros:

-Helps with very mild acne

Cons:

-Doesn't help with more intense acne
-Stinks
-Burns

I am not a fan of mixing salicylic acid and BP treatment. It causes my skin to freak out. BP is better for more intense acne.

Pros:

Couldn't see any improvement. SEE WARNING BELOW!

Cons:

WARNING! DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR EYELIDS TO REMOVE MAKEUP! I DEVELOPED A TERRIBLE RASH FROM IT.

Not worth the price and much too harsh on skin. I would not even rate this a "1" due to the breakout rash I had from it...but the system requires at least a 1. I will not buy this again and have wasted my money. I AM USING CETAPHIL products.

Pros:

Cleared acne for the first few days

Cons:

Dried out skin
Caused redness and inflammation
Stopped working

I really loved this product the first few days I used it. However, it started to dry my skin out terribly and now I'm left with red, irritated skin mostly around my chin. I've tried all sorts of moisturizer to help fix this issue and have had no luck so far. If you already have drier skin, do not use this product!

cheap

Horrible product! It dried out my skin like no other product has (not even 10% BP products). I broke out terribly! Hated it !
April 1, 2012

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:

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:

Relatively cheap.
Doesn't smell horrible.

Cons:

Makes skin terribly dry and itchy.
Caused break outs.

Ironically, it caused me to break out worst than I've had in the past because my skin is naturally sensitive and dry. This product was just not for my skin type...it as just way to harsh for me. May work well with others whose skin type are oily and not very sensitive. Give it a try nonetheless.
