    Dried out my skin until it cracked and peeled. Horrible, over-whelming smell. Made my eyes water just by the smell. Didn't do anything to my acne. Probably made it worse, I hate this product.

    This cleanser works really well for me. My skin feels so clean and soft after using it. I don't have any residue on my face afterwards, and it doesn't dry it out. It doesn't seem to have a huge...

    This product has dried out my skin so bad! I haven't noticed a difference in my zits... I don't get many, but using this hasn't made them any less frequent. I won't be buying this product again,...
