Terrible. It did clear up my skin a little but at the same time dried it out to the point where it was scaly and flaking.

Hate to say it but it does the job. Since its a gel, it never feels completely washed off your face even when it is. Hate that. Foams and other cleansers give you a thoroughly cleansed feeling...

As much as I generally love Neutrogena products, this one didn't do much for me. Basically, it just seemed like liquid soap. My skin was no better or worse after using it for two weeks.

I hate this stuff. My skin is never really cleaned with it, and it's never moisturized by it. If you use this, you need to exfoliate a mess more a week, especially if you wear makeup. I hate this...

PROS: Maybe this works for some.
CONS: Too harsh and not that effective on treating/preventing blemishes, for being so harsh on the skin. Smells bad.
