Pros:

absolutely no pros

Cons:

causes burning, rash, more pimples.

I used this product for 2 days and i noticed my skin started itching around my nostrils, it then spread to my upper lip and around the mouth to the chin. Its red, hot, itchy and heaps of tiny pus filled bumps appeared. I never get rashes and im generally pretty good with all types of cleansers, never had any trouble until now. How long will this hang around for???? --- not happy jan!

Pros:

nothing.

Cons:

dries the skin so bad that it hurts to the touch, it hurts to move your face, and even if you immediately stop using it your skin will stay dry for at least a week. Little white bumps appeared everywhere, disgusting as hell.

so painful I don't know why anyone would use it. Drying the skin like that is so counterproductive to helping acne. it makes it worse. This product really does nothing except suck all the moisture out of your face. It doesn't help acne at all, and even creates more (especially little white bumps).... If you use this for about 3 days, you will find that even the thought of washing your face is painful, because the dryness hurts so bad. This stuff is horrifying.

Pros:

Works for the first few days

Cons:

Destroys your skin thereafter; leaves it painful and cracking and uncontrollably breaking out

Victoria from Iowa-- I suggest you be on the watch since you've only been using this product for four days. At first, it cleared my skin, and I thought, hey I'll just use gatsby paper to get rid of the copious amounts of oil that appeared after I washed, and then apply moisturizer. So I did. After about a week, Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash turned against me and started destroying my face. I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and used it for about two more weeks. Big mistake. I had to contend with attending my first year at UCLA with very bad skin. Now my skin is doing much, much better. For daily wash, I use Origins Checks & Balances. To treat breakouts, I use BenzaClin. I use Origins Swept Away with Activated Charcoal to exfoliate about twice a week (it is the gentlest exfoliant anywhere). I will also try Olay Deep Cleansing Mask by Monday.

Pros:

Not sure.

Cons:

Extreme dryness of face. Even the moisturizer/aloe I used on my face to try to re-hydrate or lock in the moisture hasn't paid off.

Stay away from this product if you have sensitive skin and/or are in a colder climate.

Pros:

less oily face

Cons:

drys up face & makes your face tight and flaky

if you have oily face i don't suggest using this product because it drys up your face and makes you get more pimples and makes your face flaky and tight. and the worst thing is that my doctor recommended it and it made my face even worse.. so doctors are not always right about face cleaners so go to a derm if u can afford it!

Pros:

- smells pretty good
- I like how it foams

Cons:

- didn't do anything to my acne
- I realized my face had grown more little pimples which I though was weird .. :/

So , I only use this like when I go to my sisters place && it makes my face more pimply , which I hate . Also that's why I didn't pay for it , my friend has it . It also drys out my face a lot .. But I do like the smell and the gel . Overall , I do not recommend it ...
