Pros:

it reduces the oil from your face completely
kinda clears up the acne, but not completely

Cons:

it leaves face feeling dry, tight, itching, and burning like HELL!!!!

don't use this if you have SENSITIVE SKIN cause it can irritate your face badly. I suggest don't use any Neutrogena products cause it only takes care of a little bit of acne on your face and the rest of them are still there. I think Clean&Clear Advanced Acne Kit will work MUCH BETTER!!

Pros:

Face looks and feels clean
inexpensive

Cons:

It will dry the crap out of your face.
Make your face tight and stiff
Doesn't have the best smell in the world

I personally wouldn't recommend this product. If i would of found this site before purchasing it i wouldn't have even thought about buying it.

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:

Wallet friendly,
Available in most drugstores

Cons:

Leaves a lot of red bumps on the cheeks.
Causes skin to be severely dry & in my case itching :(

My skin is uber oily & very prone to acne so I thought I'd give this product a try. I've only started using this recently (for 6 days to be exact) & it just leaves my skin to worsen. My face has started to itch since yesterday so definitely not recommended to those with super oily skin!

Cleaned skin thoroughly

I did not like this product at all. I remember coming back to try it over and over through the years, but it just severely dries my skin out and causes bad irritation to my skin.

Pros:

cleared a few breakouts

Cons:

Dried out my skin
Caused irritation
Redness
Flaky

It was my first time using it, I heard about it on About from a beauty advicer. She claimed it to be one of the best inexpensive cleansers. However I didn't like it. I didn't notice at first because I was so focused on clearing my breakouts, which it did clear some. However it irritated my skin. My skin is not sensitive but after this product not even moisturizer could calm it down. It felt very itchy and dry. Usually I have oily skin and some moisture to my face, however not after using this product. It made my skin very dull and dry.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Dries out skin
Causes irritation
caused rash

This is by far the worst product I have ever tried. I didn't have acne at all and just wanted a cleanser, used this and literally in 30 seconds more than 20 red bumps popped up on my left cheek. I was devastated. I don't wear makeup so this really pissed me off. I use cerave hydrating cleanser, it is soft and great. No irritation! Recommend that 100%!!

Pros:

None!

Cons:

Our 9 year old son used this product and experienced a severe allergic reaction (chest was swelling and tightening, face was so swollen his eyes were shut and now 4 days later it looks like he has eczema). If you look up salicylic acid, you can see all the potential effects of this product and it shouldn't be used by pre-teens.

Be careful with this product!
