disappointed
This product is awful. It doesn't make my skin feeling clean, nor does it do anything to prevent acne. It caused me more bumps then I had in the first place. I'm very disappointed

Pros:

-Minimizes oil (by drying out skin)

Cons:

-Dries skin excessively
-Creates bumpy rash

I have extremely oily skin and I thought that this product would reduce the oil, but it really just dried my skin to a very severe degree. I am usually not one to excessively moisturize, but this product dried my skin out within the first use and caused me to moisturize too much, which therefore has clogged my pores. I also got a strange rash on the bottom half of my face from being dried out, and it completely changed the texture of my previously smooth (yet acne-prone) skin. Too harsh.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

WARNING: Do not use this product if you have very sensitive skin! I used this product only twice and my face broke out into little red bumps and my face and eyes became very swollen.
This product irritated my skin very much.
My acne was very light to begin with and after using this product my face became worse. Now my mouth area has little red pimples and it's not getting any better.

It also leaves your skin very dry and you may notice little whiteheads on your face.

Do not use this product. I hated it!

Pros:

cheap

Cons:

dried out my skin
caused little bumps

I have really oily skin. I have never had a product that caused my skin to dry up so much. Not only did it dry up my skin, but it also caused little bumps in all the dry areas( so pretty much 85% of my face). I thought that the dryness was because I had never used this product before and my face needed to adapt to the new face wash, but i moisturized about 5 times a day to help with the extreme dryness but that did not seem to help. So by the fourth day I just tossed it. The dryness and bumps were so bad I didn't even want to go into public! I would not recommend this product for anyone, even if you have extremely oily skin!

Pros:

none!

Cons:

Burns, Itchy skin, Blisters!!

I was recommended this products by word of mouth.. So I decided what the heck, my current face wash wasn't working anymore. So I stated this on a Thursday at night, the next morning my face was redish and super dry. That night I washed my face again (using just 1 pump), after rinsing it with in a few mins my entire face and neck was on fire!! No exaggeration! I went to the mirror and my entire face was red, I used some L'oreal moisturizer and at the touch it burned even more! I had to sleep with a fan to my face. The next morning I woke up with small blisters on my face and tons of red blotches all over. It itched sooo much! I took some benadryl and went to the store to get some caladrly) It didn't work! The only thing that soothed my face was cold cold water. It is now Monday, and my skin is some what itch free, but my face is still super dry and it is peeling. (looks nasty!) I can't put anything from lotion to makeup on my face! I called to set an apt with a dermatologist but it takes months to get an apt here. So I am hoping within a few more days it will clear up. I would not wish this horrific pain among anybody! It is not worth it! Don't try this product!!

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
This product worked great the first couple of days or so, but then it was all downhill from there. As mentioned per other reviews, this product will make your skin very very dry. It made my face feel tighter, and began to burn my forehead. It made by mouth region super dry and itchy and it become very painful to move my mouth at all. I immediately stopped using this product. Fire would make a better product than this.
