    I'm on my third bottle of this. I used it several years ago and found it too drying, hated it. It is a bit drying still, but I apply moisterizer shortly after using it, so there's no problem with...

    Ummm it's okayyyyy I guess. Yes, it's kind of drying and doesn't rinse off so easily. But it's okay. I guess.

    Quite possibly the WORST option for breakout-prone skin , espcially if you have bigger ones that are more cyst like and you don't have that small- little- whitehead -everywhere teenage acne (that...

    I tried this years ago. It was super, super drying then. Probably the most drying cleanser I've ever used. Can't recommend at all. I suppose it's possible they've reformulated it since, but I doubt...

    My dermatologist told me to use this. It completely got rid of all my acne. Definitely worth it.

    It is the best acne wash I have used so far. I tried clean and clear which didn't work at all. This acne wash is very effective in fighting with my break out. The only bad thing is that it will dry...

    I used this when I was in high school, and I had very acne prone skin. It is not a horrible product, but it isn't great either. It got rid of the excessive oils on my face, but it did nothing to my...

    This made my pimples worse and dried out and irritated my skin. Definitely would not recommend.

    I love this cleanser. At 37 years old, I still get a breakout here and there, and this cleanser clears away any blemishes I might get within a few days. Smells great, too.
