Pros:

clears a few pimples
smells nice

Cons:

doesn't prevent pimples from popping up again
leaves skin tight and dry WITHOUT moisturizer after

I see a lot of people have been saying that you break out after using it once, and that is because every time you use a new product it charges through your skin layers and pushes the pimples deep down that are generating that would appear in like a week and just pushes them out. That's why you break out when you try a new product. I have been using this product for a LONG time. I am growing out of loving it because I need something a little more effective. Although, it is a nice product. BUT you DO need a good moisturizer after you use this. All these other people obviously haven't been moisturizing that's why they are getting the dry effect. MOISTURIZER IS KEY GUYS!!

Pros:

Face feels clean
Good smell
Not expensive

Cons:

Doesn't clear ALL acne
Only works well when used with other acne cleansing products

It works okay, makes my face feel smooth and clean. When I wash my face with it some of my acne smooths over but it doesn't ever really get rid of it. I use it with Epiduo to completely get rid of acne. I don't get acne often but when I do they're usually big blemishes and this somewhat helps clear them if used on a daily basis.

Pros:

-The smell
-How it lathered
-Cleared some acne
-Reduced redness

Cons:

-Some acne left
-Dried out my skin

I tried this and it made some of my blemishes go away, not all of them. It made my skin a little dry and tight, which I didn't like. The smell was good, but I think it was too strong. I loved this product until I realized it stopped working. I used this for about 3 weeks and after the 2nd week I saw my acne going back to what it was before. This is a good product for people who don't have severe acne.

Pros:

Clears skin, cuts oil, affordable (but not dirt cheap in Asia), easy to find, reduces oil and shine

Cons:

None for my skin type (oily all over) and weather (tropical Asia),
Doesn't work immediately (first week of use)

This wash works for my skin type. I don't feel any stinging or tightness after washing, just a thorough clean feeling. Now, pimples don't grow and mature but dry up very fast and fall off. I find this great as I'm afraid of scarring from big pustules. My problem area is pimples on my chin and jaw area and blackheads on the nose. My type of pimple used to be the big, painful ones with pus.So far, I've avoided that since this wash started working. Hopefully this wash will continue to work well way into the future.

Stopped some of my acne but it doesn't clear it up. :|

I help my acne stop a little but the whiteheads that were already there haven't cleared up. I used it one night and the following day it was a little windy and i got a windburn because my skin wasn't moisturized well and it give me raw skin :

Pros:

Cleans skin

Cons:

Isn't so effective for severe acne. Good for light acne.

This face wash won't clear acne on it's own, but which face was will? I found that while I was using this product, the only way to keep my skin clear was by using a night cream right after I washed my face at night, and using a moisturizer right after I washed my face during the day. It does remove dirt and oils.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

I decided to use this product as I was familiar with neutrogena and thought that it would be quick to use in the shower.

I used it before bed one night and the next morning woke up and my face was completely inflamed. The next day I had a complete rash all over my face and blisters. My face is completely burning. NEVER use this product if you have sensitive skin. I am in soo much pain and am embarrassed to leave my house.

Not a good product if you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

clears acne when used consistently, easy to use, closes pores, gets rid of oil

Cons:

drys out skin, can cause skin to burn slightly when sweating

I would recommend this product to someone with skin on the oily side. You should definitely use a moisturizer afterward on your cheeks, at the least. This product works for me when I stick to it and I will continue to buy it. One thing I did notice is that when sweating, if you wipe your face to much, your skin can burn slightly around sensitive areas. Hope this helped.(:

Pros:

Dries up acne fast and makes skin way smoothe. Also closes poors. =)

Cons:

Dries out skin a bit so use with moisturizer. DO NOT USE if you have dry skin, aimed for oily skin.

Gets rid of pimples, need to use with moisturizer.
