Pros:

reduces redness!
felt soothing/refreshing/clean
clears most pimples

Cons:

skin gets oily
have to wear sunscreen

this product did what it promised- reduced redness. my skin is usually supper red, and now it about normal. But it makes my skin more oily throughout the day. you also have to wear sunscreen because it has some kind of acid in it, which makes you skin sun sensitive. it does nothing for my blackheads.

Pros:

Cleared most acne and cysts,good smell,very gentle,non-oily,reduced redness and hyperpigmentation significantly, makes skin very smooth,excellent efoliator with AHA

Cons:

works slowly on hyperpigmentation (red spots) and is not a stand-alone treatment for these,too thick

Excellent product, helped my active acne quickly and effectively. However, it takes a while to work on hyperpigmentation and you will most likely not see results with these for about two weeks.Still a great treatment to help clear acne and is a good product for being left on during night. Also in general,is one of the best-feeling treatments that I have used,is gentle and good for sensitive skin,but without being ineffective.

Pros:

Gets rid of redness really quickly
Can be used as a mask or a face wash
Has salicylic acid, but also has ingredients that calm redness and irritation down
Great for if you just popped a zit and you have to go do something

Cons:

None! Or at least none that I have experienced

This product is great if you have redness or irritation on your face or if you just want something that can help to get rid of your zits. It not only calms redness and treats zits with salicylic acid, but it mildly moisturizes.

Pros:

Helps redness of face

Cons:

Doesn't get rid of acne

This product for me works for like 2 weeks then stops. Over those 2 weeks though, my face does get less red and acne also, and acne slightly goes away. After it just stops working.

Pros:

-smells good
-good for light acne
-leaves skin soft
-leaves skin smooth
-prevents pimples

Cons:

-doesn't reduce redness
-doesn't reduce pimple size

I have very sensitive, but oily skin and i used this every morning for about 3 months. I didn't notice any changes besides the fact that my skin was softer and smoother. It didn't make me break out, but it didn't help either. I believe it would help people with less severe acne. Avoid the eye area, it burns!! I'm finally going to try something different-- neutrogena fresh foaming cleanser. I heard it works much better.

Pros:

gentle, but deep cleans too, SA reduces acne, less redness, makes skin very smooth!

Cons:

wish there were more scrubber beads in the "gentle scrub" kind.

I've been using this for 2 months. My face was very irritated when I started using this--peeling, acne, uneven look. This helped a lot! It did not cure my acne, but my face is so smooth to the touch, no redness, and acne is way reduced! (I use this in the morning with Neutrogena "rapid clear" face lotion. Then at night I wash with Clean & Clear "3 in 1 exfoliating cleanser" with BP, then apply Proactive BP lotion only at night. & Cerave lotion when needed. This has worked better than even the Proactive system & Dan's Regimen for me!)
