Don't waste your time.

Pros:

It is gentle.
Smells okay.

Cons:

Does not clear acne at all.
Wasted my time.
Can make skin oily; does not control oil

I was introduced to this product because my cousin works for mary kay and she convinced me that It really did clear acne. I have oily skin with pretty bad acne. So I started using the whole mary kay acne treatment regimen( That includes the facial wash, the toner, Acne treatment gel, the moisturizer, and on occasions, the facial mask)and have been using it for about 9 months now. It has done absolutely nothing for my acne. One month my face would look okay, then the next it would breakout all over again. I am switching to something different now. I honestly don't know why I didn't switch sooner.

Pros:

None

Cons:

-Smell gives me a headache
-useless
-made face oilier (to the point of my glasses being incapable of staying on my face)
-made breakouts worse and more frequent
-made me break out where I normally don't (chin and neck)

LIf you're anything like me, DON'T GET IT! It made my face oily so my glasses won't stay on, and now I have to put contacts in, though my eyes have been oxygen deprived. It worsened acne, the smell made me slightly dizzy, I broke out more often, and for me, has practilly no use. If, like me, you have bad acne, REALLY oily skin, blackheads, and/or wear glasses, DON'T GET IT.

Pros:

smells nice

Cons:

doesn't get rid of all makeup
makes skin oily

I would never put this in a proper acne regimen. This cleanser has nothing useful in it. A good cleanser if you have no acne problems.

Pros:

Feels good on face.

Cons:

Expensive. Ineffective.

This product was more expensive then most so I think I had higher hopes for it. It was a huge disappointment and did not clear acne. I would not try this again.

Pros:

maybe it smells nice....

Cons:

NOT for people with sensitive skin! Used it one night because a friend of mine sold Mary Kay at an overnight sleepover thing. Another friend of mine, and myself had great big pimples ALL over our faces by THE NEXT DAY when we left! It was horrifying

worked great for my friends without sensitive skin. But if you are prone to break outs, I do NOT reccomend this product. Or any Mary Kay product, as every one I have ever tried has reeked havoc on my face : /

Pros:

comes in a pretty colored tube

Cons:

the scent, the medicine, oh did i mention EVERYTHING ABOUT IT???????!!!!!

please, please, please, don't use this. it brings all the crap out of your skin and you get severe acne. it says you give it a few months. i gave it half a year...... don't use this. i had to switch to proactiv, which also sucks. I hate both. just don't use this. and if you do, i warned you!
