Not mild, not effective, smells icky. It stripped my skin and ruined my week. An enthusiastic thumbs down for this product.

Did nothing for my acne other than make me drier than dry and look older than old. This may be good for an oily teenager but not adult acne. It left me parched for weeks after only 2 uses. Not a...

I have very oily skin and this product is nothing short of a miracle. If you have an oily skin, this will work great.

Back in the 6th grade I freaked out when I got my first batch of pimples streaming my forehead. I saw commericals for this on TV and I've always sort of been drawn to Neutrogena because of the...

This USE to work for me. Now, it makes my face more oily, and it adds to my existing acne.

It made my cheeks, nose, and around my mouth red and bumpy! I used it 4...

This certainly did not work on me. It completely dried out my combination skin, and did not help with breakouts. My skin looked much worse after using this than before. I gave it awhile, as my...

Don't like this crap product.
I don't think it stops pimples from forming, so, pretty much, not worth it. Plus the product leaks out of the bottle, GRR!
