Pros:

Cleans face and does a DECENT job at clearing acne.

Cons:

Product is way to rough. Left skin tight and flaky for the first week and didn't really help prevent acne.

Isn't that great of a product. At least for me.

Pros:

I like it, considering it is a cheapo drugstore product. I usually use high-end brands like clinique and proactiv and this wasn't too far behind (though a little bit behind).
Low Price, Clearer skin, feel cleaner

Cons:

For me, proactiv works better.
Ugly packaging and so-so smell. Not that it matters a lot, but it feels much less luxurious.

If higher-end brands are out of your price range I'd definitely go for this product!

Pros:

Prevents minor breakouts, did not irritate my face

Cons:

Made my skin really dry!

It's a good basic face wash, but I would recomend for people with really oily skin. My skin is slightly oily, so it really dried out bad after a little while. It did good with keeping my pimples away though.

Pros:

makes my face feel really fresh and clean, clears my face and removes make-up really good. Makes my pimples smaller after the first-two days.

Cons:

Dries out my skin near my mouth and chin area and the edges of my nose. The pump bottle is hard to travel with. Had a little reaction, some little itchy red bumps near bottom of my chin, and made my eyes puffy for some reason.

It does do its job to clear your pimples. I don't have a serious serious problem with acne, so I don't know if it works for that. But for people who had a few pimples that pop up occasionally for example the for head and chin, this product will help you out well. What sucks is that you have to deal with the dryness, and take an extra step to apply a moisturizer.

Pros:

It doesn't irritate skin.

Cons:

Doesn't eliminate pimples, or reduce redness! Doesn't work!

So many dermotologists recommend this cleanser with some medication cream they prescribe, but this doesn't work. At least it didn't work for me. I had moderate acne - not too survire, but bad enough for me to want to do something about it. Anyways, I've used up two bottles of it and used it correctly (washed once in the morning and once at night) and it didn't do anything for me. It was two months later that I decided to try something else. Switched to Oxy Max (with 10% BP) and I noticed a difference, but after a month of that, still not completely clear. When Clean and Clear came out with their 3 part Acne Control Kit, I gave it a try. After 2 weeks, my skin has been better than ever since I got acne 1 year ago. So I recommend Clean & Clear Acne Control Kit not Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash!

Its alright.... not that bad...

Pros:

Lathers like a dream!
Smells good
Easy pump bottle

Cons:

Water gets in the bottle, which dilutes it
Dries skin alot more

Its really good. Been using it for about 6 weeks now for the shower and it lathers up extremely extremely well. The smell is quite nice too. However, the only thing i have a problem with it is that water can get in the bottle. It dilutes it, and it makes the supposed 'gel' literally like water. Its really annoying. Initially it was great. 1 pump=1 facewash, but now its like, 4 pumps= 1 facewash cuz the 'gel-water' keeps running out of my hand before i can lather it properly. Especially hard in the shower! However, setting that aside... It hasn't irritated my skin, but i have noticed that its made my skin a bit dry. Except for the badly engineered bottle... its an overall good product!
