I've used the cleanser for years and I only break out when I forget to use it. Leave it on for about 30 sec. and you can really feel it drying up your zits. Does leave your skin feeling tight but in a very clean sort of way. I can follow up with a moisturizure and not worry about my skin getting too oily. Works better at preventing new breakouts than anything (short of accutane) I've ever tried! The name brand doesn't smell quite so strongly of sulfur as the generic, I've noticed.

Okay, But Probably Not Great for Sensitive Skin
My dermatologist gave me this cleanser to help with my moderate acne; however, it was a bit too harsh for my skin and I couldn't use it for longer than a couple weeks at a time (using it only every night). Just irritated my skin and left it dry and flaky. Also didn't do a spectacular job of clearing blemishes, so not really worth it for me.

Pros:

This cleanser helps remove oil from pores

Cons:

It stinks. It contains sulfur and smells like sulfur. Generic Prascion.

This product is an okay cleanser. I have been using it for a month. I think that it is a gradual exfolliate so every two weeks, it seems like it reveals a new layer of skin. I just really hate the smell of it so I use a scented moisturizer to mask the scent of sulfur. My derm has me using this cleanser twice a day. In the morning, I am to follow with a moisturizer and Aczone 5% and in the evening, I apply Tazorac cream topically. I've only noticed a slight improvement thusfar.

This stuff was working very well, i liked the way it made skin feel and i liked that it did not have to be left on, but i began to develop small bumps on my face, but i kept going because i had no new pimples, but the bumps got redder and were everywhere. I finally had to stop Plexion, and now i have to try something else. Im trying b5 supplements also, hopefully i wont have to treat my face with a lot of topical treatments, and will be able to rely on the b5 and good cleaning habits
