Pros:

READ BELOW!

Cons:

Little bit drying. Not too bad, once you get used to it.

This product is the most important part of my regimen. Over the summer, my Derm. recommended using Neutrogena Acne Wash for my mild/moderate acne. At first it just dried up my face and didnt work at all. Then I got a second opinion and the new derm. told me to use a 5% Benzoyl Peroxide CREAM, to the targeted affected areas AFTER putting on the Acne Wash. It cleared me acne in a week! 8 Pimples, all over the face, GONE!! The Acne wash deals with the inflammation while the BP fights the acne. Works AMAZING! First lather up the acne wash with two pumps, massage your whole face for about 10 seconds. LEAVE it on for 45 seconds. Wash of for 15 sec. Dry it off with a towel. Wait for two min. Put the BP on the affected areas. NOT THE WHOLE FACE. (try avoiding areas around the mouth) Leave it on overnight, wash off in the morning with the shower. Do it again at 3PM or the afternoon. Then again at night after a shower, when the skin is supple. I Swear by this regimen.I promise i

Pros:

Keeps mild and moderate acne under control. Affordable. Not over drying. Easy to find at drug stores.

Cons:

Can be somewhat drying if you rub it in for too long. Makes skin oilier during the day. Not the best long-term solution...

I have used this face wash for years. Every time I try something new, I regret it and come right back to this wash. I have mild-moderate acne - some black heads, flare ups of pustules and papules - and this wash totally zaps them away. My skin responds best to Salicylic acid, so this wash is perfect. If you have acne, I think this is one of the better OTC products.

Pros:

I can't even remember what it's like to have acne anymore, and I had moderate breakouts from the time I was 12 until I started using this product at 18.

Cons:

It can be pretty drying. At least it keeps me in the habit of moisturizing!

This is seriously the only product that has worked for me with any kind of consistency. I still get a random pimple maybe once a month, but people are shocked when I tell them I even have to use an acne wash.

Pros:

This Product is absolutely amazing. I am 20 and have had moderate acne since I was 14. I have been to the dermatologist and tried retin-a, benzaclin, tetracyclin, etc. Now I only use the oil free acne wash and it works!!! Totally Amazing

Cons:

None - so simple and effective!

If you are suffering from acne use this product. I unfortunantly was overthinking my acne problem and was probably using too strong of treatments by going to the derm and stuff.

Pros:

It prevents and cleared up my acne!

Cons:

can make your face a bit dry.

I have be suffering from bad acne ever since I was in high school. It was tough dealing with it, and I felt even worse seeing other kids with clear complexions. But about a week ago I bought this face wash, and my skin cleared up within a couple days! At first it did give me some minor white heads, but I guess that was just my skin reacting to how strong it was. I use it twice a day, in the mourning and before bed. I actually like to wake up and look in the mirror! I highly recommend this product, it will make your life better!

best I ever used

Pros:

lightens skin
less break out
does not burn

Cons:

none

This product is prefect. Make sure you have oily skin before using it. If not it will irriate skin. If it gets to try use a light lotion.
