Pros:

None

Cons:

Dries out skin really bad

Makes breakouts worse

This might work well for somebody with clear skin, but if you have moderately severe acne it makes it worse and I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Pros:

Easy to find in stores, removes oil thoroughly, does minimize break outs

Cons:

Irritating, can be very bad for sensitive skin

When I first got this product I was amazed at how clean my skin feels after using it, and how it seemed to calm down my acne. However I noticed rashes and red bumps appear after a few days. So I stopped, but then weeks later made the mistake of using it again. Very bad idea as I got nasty rashes all over my face. I ended up throwing away the whole bottle. If you plan on purchasing this, they do sell this in a little travel sized bottle. You might want to try it out first and see if it agrees with your skin.

Pros:

not oily, started to get rid of acne.

Cons:

i couldn't stick it out to see if it was going to fix my acne, my face exploded into dry and itchy bumps and it's been a couple of days of trying to get rid of it.

it's not a good option, i don't have particularly sensitive skin and it still was way too harsh.

Pros:

You can feel it working

Cons:

Dried my skin out, caused little bumps all over my face, I even had spots that began to bleed. My face was extremely red and felt like sandpaper

Don't use this product unless you are willing to except the fact that your face will look terrible for some time. Irritates skin too much for something that is OTC!

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:

Gets your skin clean, that's about it.

Cons:

Can be harsh on skin
Very little lather
Smells funny
Bad for combination skin

I used this face wash twice daily with no other acne treatment products, and there was no difference in my skin after going through two bottles. It can be a bit drying immediately after use, and after a few hours I was more oily than usual because my skin was trying to replenish itself. I think this is best for people with very light acne and use spot treatment in addition. Make sure you try to lather it as much as possible before applying to prevent irritation.

Pros:

clears acne fast

Cons:

leaves skin dry and itchy only after a few uses even if you use a moisturizer afterwards.

I wrote a review on this after the 1st use and it was positive. But after a few uses my skin got very dry and itchy so I had to go back and write a negative review. I'm surprised that it made my skin dry because it was semi-oily esspecially on the nose. Even if you do have oily skin it will dry you out in only like 3 days.
