Pros:

I'm 30 and I've been using this product since I was 17, it leaves my skin baby soft and oil free! I use the astringent after using this product.

Cons:

leaves your skin a bit dry, but a good old facial cream (oil of Olay) solves the problem

This product has not failed me and I love it!

Pros:

Oil free
Smells nice

Cons:

Contains fragrance (an ingredient known to cause acne)
Medicated - contains unnecessary antiseptic ingredient

I ran out of the Acne.org cleanser, and bought this to use until my new order arrived. I am usually clear of acne, but I noticed I was getting a lot of small skin colored bumps around my chin and lots of small zits across my forehead after just a couple of days of using this product morning and night. My husband was using it for shaving, and he is now having skin problems as well. He is battling a breakout, and he also complained that it stung his face. It didn't sting for me, but I see other reviewers also had the stinging issue. Bottom line: I do not recommend this product for anyone with acne or acne prone skin.

Pros:

feels clean

Cons:

makes my face quite dry, and triclosan..?

so far this isn't the best thing for me. i noticed that the medicinal ingredient is this stuff called "triclosan" and i've heard you should avoid using products with this in it. i don't know if i should stop using this cleanser because of it??

Pros:

Smells good
Leaves skin smooth
Clears some blackheads

Cons:

Doesn't clear the pimples under the skin (you know, the ones that are just more like bumps)
Burns like a you know what
Burns even more if you put lotion on afterwards

This product cleaned up my blackheads within a few days and smells clean. But after a couple days of using it, my skin began drying out and burning more and more. I'm pretty sure its because of the disinfectant in it (it openly states that its made to remove bacteria from skin. think of it like applying good smelling hand sanitizer to your face). So haven't been washing my face with it twice a day, and have pretty much been ignoring the burning with gritted teeth. The good thing is that all of my chin and nose acne is pretty much gone and I haven't had any break-outs. Bad news it hasn't done anything for my under-the-skin forehead acne.
