Pros:

-light
-nice foam
-very gentle
-does what it says it will do.
-i got it for a SUPER cheap price.
-Has salicylic acid but its very calming which i LOVE.

Cons:

nothing really, except that results might take longer depending on your own unique skin.
-if you have dry skin/ sensitive skin, it might make you a little bit dry, so I recommend to have a face lotion with you if you use this, but it's worth it.

I started using this about 3 weeks ago. At first, it seemed that all it did was make your skin feel clean... but after the first week, I did notice my skin to be VISIBLY smoother! My acne breakouts have reduced significantly. I used to use the clearasil overnight wash with this, but i ditched the clearasil (it was WAY too drying when i used them both and i needed a LOT of lotion to make it better). I use this alone now and it's really great! So, with this wash, my face looks incredibly smooth, and at least for me; my acne breakouts have subsided alot. This is definitely a great face wash to try!!

Pros:

Cleared my acne
Smoothed my skin
Gentle feeling but hardworking
Fades scars slightly
Fast working

Cons:

Pump gets stuck

Cleared my skin after proactive made it worse, PLEASE try this first. I barely ever get a pimple now. I had about 20 zits on my face when I started using this and more kept popping up every day. I was so depressed and thought nothing would fix this, like I was in a losing war with my face. In about a week after using this product I could clearly see a reduction from 20 to 14 then 10 then 6, 3, and finally 0 it was like a miracle. This made my skin so soft and smooth with no irritation. Not even little bumps.

Pros:

Smells so scrumptious
Works like a charm
Evened out sun spots and took away blemishes

Cons:

Got a rash cause I used too much and my face got super dry...eheheh.

Since I live in Hawaii I'm out in the sun a lot so I get sun spots on my face. This cleanser toned my face amazingly. I don't have acne, just the occasional pimple shows up and this greatly decreased it. My nose also looks a lot more smoother and my face overall has that milky nice look! So bottom line is it's awesome yo.

Pros:

Is the only product so far, that didn't irritate my super sensitive skin. Love the smell and price. Is a foam which make it easy to remove. Leave my face really clean. Another one is that i notice that my face is more whiter (i mean like the complexion is really bright which i love)

Cons:

Like i have read here, it stop working.

I thought it was just me eating chocolate and not driking water, but after my second bottle, it stopped working. Right now i've been breaking same as before using the product. I will say if you have sensitive skin like me is good to use it in combine with another strong cleanser. I mean 1 morning the aveeno and in the night something stronger. To finish this the product does not irritate you skin, but i think is good for those with mild acne. Ps. I use for moisterizer the aveeno skin relief and is the only product the do moizterize my face all day and its not greesy. I discover this when i had a severe allergic reaction to a acne medication and this combine with calamine lotion repair it. My face was swollen and not even benadril would help. Those two worked like a charm.

Pros:

-light and foamy
-clean scent
-keeps skin free from acne!
-gives a really nice smooth texture to skin

Cons:

-probably doesn't work to clear up acne on its own

I LOVE this product. I first began to use this in conjunction with Benzaclin Gel to get rid of the tiny red bumps on my forehead. Once that acne went away (within a month), I stopped using the medication and just used this cleanser. I love it!! I have not had a major breakout since I have been using it, and that is just amazing especially since I suffered from those little bumps for years. I have been using this cleanser for almost 2 years now and I wouldn't change it for anything.

Pros:

Good basic cleanser
Reduces acne
Improves skin texture
Affordable

Cons:

Does not treat existing acne
Doesn't improve skin tone

This is a pretty good cleanser. I've been using it just a little over two months, and it works well. If you are looking for a cleanser to drastically improve your acne, this isn't it. It's better than some other more expensive products that I've used though. I reccomend using some form of acne treatment in conjunction with it such as witch hazel or benzoyl peroxide. After I started doing an acne treatment like that I saw improvement in existing acne.

Pros:

Refreshing smell
Leaves skin soft
Clears those huge red pimples
Tightens pores
Bottle lasts

Cons:

Some redness and marks left behind

I've been using this particular acne wash for 3.5 months now after using the Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit for several years. This seems to be much less harsh on my skin, and although I do still get little pimples from time to time, they're nothing like the pimples that would pop up when I was using Clean and Clear. Also, one bottle can last a couple of months, so it's not an expensive product. I recommend only using it twice a day: after waking and before bed, or it will dry your face out, causing more acne to form.

Pros:

Gentle
Leaves skin feeling soft
Removes left over make up
Helps somewhat w/ acne
AND CONTAINS NO SULFATE ADDITIVES!! (which I ADMIRE)

Cons:

None

Okay first off people, this facial cleanser is based off soy beans, and many people are allergic to soy products.. Make sure you know how your allergies before trying something that could cause an allergic reaction. I use this cleanser in the morning and at night, I take off my make up with the Clear Complexion Pads and then this cleanser to rinse off the residue, followed by the Clear Complexion Daily Lotion. I am still in my teens (17). So naturally, I am prone to breaking out only because of my hormones. I reccomend this product if you DON'T HAVE AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO SOY PRODUCTS.

Pros:

works!

Cons:

works but not perfectly

i've been using this for years, everytime i stop i break out more than usual. this product helps me control but not cure my acne. remember that dairy (except yogurt) and high glycemic index foods increase ur hormones that secrete sebum (i.e. cause acne)
