Pros:

hmm...not much to put here. It doesnt leave a residue like bar soap can..thats it. =[ big bottle too.

Cons:

Made me break out on my temples and i just started washing my neck and this made me break out there too. It smells gross, but you do get used to it..i guess it kinda lasts forever almost...

I have heard it works well for young teens and others but i have had batter luck unfortunately. Its a huge bottle for me and its last like 2-3 months. Made me break out a lot even with perscriptions. Gonna try another Clean and Clear Product though..i like their brand =]

Pros:

- light
- No frequence
- inexpensive
- works GREAT for sensitve skin!

Cons:

- dosent lather good unless you cleanse really well.
- If you have servere skin it wouldnt work well.

It depends what kind of skin type you have and if you are willing to scrub a little harder. It will get rid of acne after your 3rd use. So I would recommond it!

Pros:

Did clear up some pimples

Cons:

caused my skin on my cheeks, upper lip and forehead to tighten and peel. NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE WITH MILD ACNE

It was pretty good the first few times, i was using it once a day (half the recommended) by day three my skin was very sore and starting to peel (this is with even the oil-free skin cream that came in the multi pack). I use it now maybe once a week, the foaming is not good for people with combination skin (i only have pimples in my t-zone). Wouldn't recommend it to people that don't have a large amount of active pimples as it does not seem to prevent new ones any better than just washing your face with plain water. (well unless you want a heck of a lot of pain!)

Gentle.
Smells great.
Lathers well.
Inexpensive.

none

I think this cleanser works well with moderate to light acne. It's never left me red or overdry; it has always left my skin super soft.

Pros:

Inexpensive
Smells great
Plain
Deep cleans

Cons:

None so far!

After having my skin tortured by a harsh acne treatment, I thought I would follow the Regimen. The first time I used this cleanser, afterwards, my skin felt so fresh and invigorated; like no other cleanser has given me this invigorated feeling. I just love it!

Pros:

Cleans REALLY deep!

Cons:

Hurts! I used this product about four times and three out of four hurt! My actual face hurt, it was sore, but when i rinsed it off, it hurt, when i put on moisturizer it hurt!

i couldnt give this product a fair rating because whenever i use it all i can focus on is the pain! my skin isnt sensitive but its too sensitive for this! i have little bumps on my upper arms and i use this to clean the area just to see what would happen, and it seems to be drying it up a bit, not in a bad way, but i think its way too harsh for my skin! i'm talking about the original orange one, i would reccommend the clear sensitive skin one if u have combination skin (like me!)

Love!

Pros:

Cleans really well
Smells good
Inexpensive

Cons:

Drying

This cleans my skin really well and while it isn't for clearing acne, it is good enough at getting the dirt out that pimples don't really pop up anymore. My only problem is that it is drying, and while my skin is usually very oily, I've had to start using a moisturizer. It's not really a big deal for me since I've been looking for a product like this for a while now. The thing it tends to do to pimples is dry them out and shrink them. I had a large painful bump on my face for over a week before using it, now it's barely visible. I see a bit of flaking on my pimples as well, and they start to burst by themselves. I can see it being harsh as others have said, so if your skin is dry already, I wouldn't use this.

Not what I expected

Pros:

Oil-free

Cons:

Drying to my skin
Too many chemicals (e.g. Scent and color)

After about 3 days of using this wash, I began getting tiny bumps on the edges of my forehead and hairline and around my mouth/chin area. Mind you, I have dry/combination skin. It also brought a few pimples to the surface of the middle of my forehead (my most problematic area). Didn't help whatsoever, in fact, it made me skin worse off. And I don't believe the product was purging my pores, but rather irritating it.
