Pros:

It leaves your skin feeling really soft and smooth

Cons:

when youve used it about 5mins after your skin feels really dry and tight

i used to use this product in a morning and sometimes on a night and it left my skin feeling really smooth even my spots but i didnt feel like it did anything to them and the marks from spots just stayed the same but i would reccomend this if you want smooth skin !

Pros:

Clean your pores
Kills baceria
clean feeling
washes well

Cons:

tingling, tight feeling
sometimes dries up your skin

I use it in the shower so I just buy some moisturizer after I get of the shower. It cleans up your skin, therefore clearing up acne because it clears up your pores! I usually get a few zits a month, though since I've used this, only one zit and I cleared it by washing it with the acne wash. It was gone the next day! Certainly helps out with my acne.

Pros:

*smells good
*made my face feel soft
*made my skin less shiny
*refreshing
* removes make-up well
* helps clear acne if used daily
*does not cause irratation

Cons:

absolutely NONE :)

This product is good for someone who has a light- moderate struggle with acne. I've found that when I use benzyl peroxide it makes my skin shiny so I use this after and it works! It's a must buy!

Pros:

Clears skin right up. I have virtually no pimples.

Cons:

Went about 2 weeks without using it because I forgot it at home. Skin broke out. But once I started using it again, my skin got better after one wash.
Almost threw up when using it when I had a hangover because it smelled too much like alcohol

My skin looks really good now and I never have to worry about wearing make up. Super recommend this!!!! Do it! :D

Pros:

It smells good, like most facial cleansers. It immediately gets rid of oil, and you can literally feel it killing bacteria (the anti-bacterial type) as in it really stings (see below). It's affordable and easy to find.

Cons:

I don't usually have very sensitive skin, but the first time I used this, I was shocked at how much my face stung! Hot water makes it worse. It also dries out my skin really badly. You cannot use this while using other products; it is so strong.

I would suggest it to people with really bad acne and have no where else to turn. Others who wouldn't mind feeling pain, having irritated skin, having really dry, peeling skin, or breaking out in order to eventually reach clearer skin may want to try this product as well. I suppose you could try using smaller amounts of the product, and diluting it with water to make it work for your skin. Otherwise, try something with a higher strength than salicylic acid and a lower strength than triclosan (.25%) which is what is in the product.

Pros:

i was on antibiotics but couldn't afford to continue them so i decided to try an anti-bacterial face wash and this works great--face feels very clean, really great for my oily/combination skin, plus it's cheap

Cons:

if you don't have oily skin it might dry your face out. also if you use a moisturizer with salicylic acid your skin could get really irritated at first from all the different products (i've been using so many for so long that my skin's tough now)

cheap, works better than salicylic acid (which has NEVER worked for me) on moderate to severe acne, which is usually caused due to bacteria and not stress or simply clogged pores. stings for a bit and might dry your skin out at first (so invest in a good exfoliater) but is effective if you're panicking and have nowhere else to turn!

Pros:

this stuff smells really good (oranges) and feels good on your skin.. It get rids of oil well.

Cons:

I have combination skin so some parts of my face got a little dry.

Very good against oil, but you should get a separate product to target acne and moisturizer.

Pros:

Smells great.
Leaves skin feeling fresh

Cons:

Burns.
Skin was left dry.

Ive only used this product once and it burned my skin like hell. Maybe its because I havent gotten use to it. ALso it really caused my skin to dry out. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks I will see some improvement. Will post another review at a future date.

Pros:

-Lathers (if you like that in a facewash)

Cons:

-Perfumed (unnecessary and irritating)
-Irritating to zits (makes them into red craters)
-Leaves skin feeling tight

I've long used the dermatologist-recommended SpectroJel cleanser, but after a few years of that I decided I wanted something even better. I trusted the [link removed] recommendation of this Clean&Clear product... bad idea. I'm switching immediately back to the milder yet more effective SpectroJel. This stuff leaves my skin feeling tight, it's a bit drying, and it irritates my zits and makes them into red craters, even if it does keep my forehead from sweating as much during the day. Crappy product... and why on earth would they put perfume in an acne product?
