Pros:

Makes skin smooth and helps prevent heavy breakouts. It's also cheap and doesn't damage the skin.

Cons:

Doesn't 'clear' acne very well and it smells wierd.

I used it for 3 weeks. It only slightly lowered the amount of acne, and isn't very effective. It does on the other hand help stop a few breakouts and it makes your skin soft and smooth for the most part. I would recommend it, just not by itself because it doesn't get the job done.

Pros:

Leaves skin soft and clean feeling.
It's as easy as quickly putting some on a cotton swab and gently rubbing in on your face!

Cons:

Can leave face a little oily.

Quick and works.

Pros:

It helps clear away pimples, and it moisturizes the skin.

Cons:

Once in a blue moon I'll get a cystic pimple, that I never got before. But, one is better than a multiple.

Is very cheap and good for the skin overall. I have tried Pro Activ and it is really expensive and did not get rid of my acne, and it did make my face dry out.

Pros:

nice n gentle. natural. Ph balancing. not irritating.

Cons:

its not really that dramatic.

dont get the kind with alhohol. Its nice, but its not as dramatic as everyone else on the post is saying. ive used it of and on over the years, and been using it as a toner between gentle cleanser and moisturizer, and its not adding or detracting. it will keep your face pure n simple, but its not going to "cure" acne. its supposed to reduce redness...but i dont see any change really.

Pros:

It is a great face cleaner, unclogs pores and takes off even stubborn eye makeup.

Cons:

The smell really IS that bad, it almost makes me gag. Also, it did nothing for the pimple I had. A tad drying.

It was super cheap, so I'll use it once in a while for a good clean. Still prefer oil cleansing.

Pros:

I heard of this product from a seamstress altering my wedding dress she swore by it. I tried it , it did help with the acne on my chest . It soothed the acne on my face but didnt really see much difference there even after several months

Cons:

The smell is horrible. Like being inside of a alcohol bottle. You have to use a cotton ball to apply or it's everywhere. Product only worked at first then the consistency wore off.

May work well depending on the skin type of user. Good value for the price is does work. Cheap enough to try !

Pros:

Improved acne, makes skin smooth, shrinks pores, does NOT dry out skin, great for combination skin

Cons:

N/A

I love this stuff. It is the first and only toner I will EVER use. It goes on smooth, leaves skin smooth. Some people don't like the smell, but it does not bother me one bit and you can't smell it after it dries on your skin. I use an off-brand kind from a dollar store and it's amazing. It didn't clear up my acne COMPLETELY (what does?), but it definitely helped it ALOT during my "hormonal" times.

Pros:

really cheap, and I think it made the skin around my eyes look better

Cons:

Wasn't nearly as effective as most store bought toners in removing excess "dirt" or whatever that didn't rinse off. and no change in my red marks like I heard.
the smell didn't bother me that much though

There's a reason why proactiv uses it in its toner, but it's not so great alone or even with a little bit of alcohol. It's horrible for extra cleaning after you rinse, and didn't do much of anything to clear and circulate my skin like people claimed...I bet people who are NOT acne prone would see improvement in their skin tone, but for me it was a waste of time as an acne cure, and I gave it plenty of time to see. All I wanted was to cheaply go all natural )=
