Pros:

- it got rid of SOME acne.

Cons:

- drys face really fast
- doesn't smell good

I don't recommend it. I have SUPER LIGHT ACNE. It's all right, but if you have oily skin it sucks.

Pros:

good price
helped light acne
didnt dry face out too much

Cons:

didnt clear acne up completely
smelled kinda bad
dried my skin out, but very very little

i used it for a while and it surprisingly worked not bad. i would reccoment this with people who have light acne...its just a very very simple acne wash...and wont cure total acne. its oil free but it didnt stop my skin from being oily. i used this along with the clean and clear dual action moisterizer, and the cleanand clear advantage spot treatment...they worked really good for people with light acne btw all three products ijust listed contain salicylic acid

Pros:

Removes oil (not for long), helps with SOME acne, easy to use.

Cons:

Skin gets oily again after about 10min, doesn't help with severe acnes, drys out skin a bit, slightly irritating after use,

I guess it's an OK product. I still don't know why they call it a "Dermatologist recommended" product because it doesn't really do much to severe acne besides removing oil from it and make it less red. But for light acnes, it will be gone in about a day or less. Mine went away in just a few hours. Like I said, it's an OK product but I still like to use Clearasil more.

It's ok
I hardly ever get acne apart from the occasional pimple but sometimes it gets really bad. I tried this out and it does thoroughly clean my face but it's makes my skin a lot tighter. I also noticed that after a few weeks of using it, the skin on my nose began flaking. This product is harsh on sensitive skin and may not work on all skin types.

not good
This made my oily skin dry and flaky. I'm usually happy with neutrogena formulations, but I hated this product. Way too harsh for human skin.

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:

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:

Helps clear acne slightly.
Smells good.

Cons:

Dries out and chaps skin.
Makes skin feel tight after applied.
Makes skin itch.

When I first got this product, I liked it. I thought it smelled very fresh, it felt like it was working at first.However, it made my face feel very tight after I used it. After about a week, my skin started to dry out and chap. It was also very itchy. It helped clear the acne slightly, but it's still there. So I wouldn't recommend this.

Pros:

Really cleans out the oil in your skin.
A little drying for oily skin.

Cons:

Can be too drying for dry skin.

I wash my face with this at night. I like the fact that it is a little drying because right after I use this I put on a retinoid, Ziana, which made my face feel slimey, but it seems to absorb better if I use this product first. Only the luckiest of people are going to be able to clear their acne with a simple face wash, but if you have oily skin and you're using a system where your next product is a little slick or seems to have trouble absorbing into your skin, then this would be the definite way to go.
