Like many of the other reviews here, something in this product made my skin really itchy. I've tried it a few times, but every time I use it, it increasingly irritates my skin.

This worked great for me in my mid-to-late teens. (compared to the other stuff I tried back then, anyway) Now that I'm in my twenties, it's way to harsh and sensitizing. I recently was dealing with...

I found this product to be of medium efficacy against acne, or rather occasional break-outs. I doubt that it would be really effective against true acne. On the plus side it isn't heavily scented...

A decent face wash for oily skin teens - my skin is far too dry nowadays to use this, but I miss the yummy smell it has. Heavy duty, will remove whatever is on your face but I'd recommend benzoyl...
