Easy to find and with low side effects, but don’t be surprised if you are left wishing for better results after using it for a while. Any acid on its own is unlikely to dramatically clear acne.

Worst product for acne
This product is not meant for people with acne .
I am using chambor cleanser toner and moisturizer since last 1 month and my skin has recovered a lot.After that one of my friend suggested me to use these acne pads from clearasil to reduce the acne from inside so I ordered this product from ebay and as all you know ebay services it took them so long to deliver this product .
Then I used this pads for 2 days all of sudden my cheeks started getting red pimples big one with full of blood not even with pus..
Irritation started my skin started looking so red and irritated in just two days then I stopped using this and continued my Daily routine my chambor cleanser toner and moisturizer ..twice a week himalaya neem face pack .and putting coconut oil on my dark spots every night before sleeping. .and now everything is fine my skin is looking perfect like before .
Well moisturised .clean .. I would not recommend this product to people with red blood filled pimples and oily skin .It will make your skin worse .dont use it.
Thank you

Pretty in Pink this maybe, but my face was anything but after using it..............................................
Tried this just the once and did disliked it as much as my skin did. Applying just a pea sized amount to my damp face was enough to leave it extremely dry and irritated just a few minutes later. I am relieved that I did not use it more than once as I've had the same experience with other products and ignored the taut, dry feeling thinking the product must be working. For Neutrogena to state it this product is a daily addition to your skin routine is surprising. I have extremely oily skin yet it totally stripped my face of natural moisture using just a pea-sized amount and on one occasion. I would not recommend this product for any skin type.

Worked well
Usually when I use an acne product it works for a certain amount of time and then just stops working altogether. However, out of all the products i've used, it has worked consistently for the longest amount of time.

Way too Drying to use during the Winter
I think I'll go back to using this face wash to during the spring/summer months, because this makes my face feel like a dried-up sponge after I wash my face. The Benzyl peroxide is already drying my face, i don't need this face wash to re-enforce that. On a nicer note, this face wash feels soo refreshing on the skin while you wash it. I only use this face wash now to remove my makeup.

It's okay
I use this on my nose for blackheads. It leaves a shiny residue that I'm not fond of, however, I have noticed that I have fewer blackheads.

Great for removing makeup
This stuff doesn't really work great as a facial scrub, it dries out the skin so bad and just doesn't do anything to the acne or blemishes. On the other hand, it's an amazing makeup remover. This stuff literally dissolves any and all makeup, including on brushes and sponges. Will dry out the skin, though, I'd recommend using a heavy duty moisturizer if you're gonna use this often.

Best Toner Under $10
This is one of the best toners I have ever used. It leaves your face feeling clean and refreshed without drying your skin out. This toner is part of Neutrogena's Microclear ® Technology product line and at just under $7 per bottle it's an absolute steal. Microclear ® is a patented technology composed of three ingredients acting in synergy to prepare the skin to receive salicylic acid under good conditions: so, that it can act deeply in the pores and release all its efficiency to help get rid of spots.

Amazing results...
I have very pale sensitive skin. I have been using this product with fantastic results. I do notice a bit of a sting when I apply this, but it's very strong stuff. 2% salicylic acid and 10% glycolic acid in the same product is going to be all business. I don't recommend using something that strong every day...use your head. If you haven't used any kind of AHA or BHA regularly, expect this to trigger some purging from the glycolic acid. Not only has this helped tremendously with getting my acne under control, but it's also helped with my laugh lines! Bonus! Plus, the texture of my skin is greatly improved. I will never buy drugstore acne pads again. They just can't compare. I take one star off because it is such a harsh product--used every day (don't even think about twice a day! ) would certainly result in dryness and could cause over-exfoliation.

Not good
It did nothing for my marks and definitely nothing for my pimples. Smelled bad as well.
