(NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE NEW FORMULA)
Contrary to the majority of previous reviews, I really like this product! The breakouts people are experiencing, if they've used the new formula, are most probably due to the two clays that are second on the ingredients list. But I love that they make up such a large part of the formulation, along with Niacinamide, which doesn't appear too much further down the list and is a Bingo! for spots and the marks they leave behind.
My skin has vastly improved with Clearasil products, I'm usually a high-end junkie but was getting fed up with being an oil slick and spots appearing every day. Trust me, I've tried everything from both the chemical and the natural world of skin care, the oil cleansing method left me in a hot mess.
I use this particular wash in the mornings only, sometimes leaving it on as a mask if I have the time, and it makes my skin look instantly clearer and calmer without drying it out. I follow up with a light moisturiser and am all set for makeup application :)
used every last bit of this product (as in I cut open the tube with scissors--I do this with every product, you end up throwing away a lot of product and money if you don't!) so I can honestly say it did not work for me or do a thing for my acne marks, which are almost always my problem. I get a zit or two and usually get impatient and pop em and am left with spots that I have to conceal every day, it's maddening. I never really thought my skin was sensitive in the way that some people can't use 2% salicylic acid. infact, I go for this when I'm looking at acne products (benzoyl peroxide has never worked for me). I ran out of a concealer with 0.5% SA and was so happy to find one with 1.6% (went from revlon to almay incase anyone was wondering). most acne face moisturizers have 1% SA, so to get the "most" SA effects would be from a 2% facial cleanser. I've since learned since buying this not to go looking for anything specifically for acne marks. SA works by exfoliating layers of skin faster. if you want to rid yourself of any skin discoloration you need a product with vitamin C, a kind of glycolic peel, and/or retin-A. anyways, this wash was nothing special. near the end of it, I got the cetaphil gentle face wash because I remembered it worked really well for me 3 years ago and I thought it might again. when I decided I should finish up the clearasil product, my face felt irritated and itchy, and when I washed it off and patted my face dry, I had two small but noticable welts under my left eye, like right on the top of the cheekbone. didn't mind pitching that in the trash. it didn't improve my skin and in the end it hurt me. only reason I gave it 2 instead of 1 stars is because along with the cetaphil, I wanted to try something new so I got (and immediately returned) neutrogena's dupe of the cetaphil gentle cleanser. why? because whenever I rinsed and patted, my face felt terribly dry. at least the clearasil left my skin smooth. but that's barely a reason to give this cleanser any more of my time.

I have very dry, sensitive skin and this cleanser left me with red patches and peeling skin. I reduced the amount I used it to only a few times a week and still had this effect. Definitely not for me.
I usually read reviews before I buy something but I needed a cleanser that was going to get rid of my dark marks since Neutrogena's Redness Reducing Cream Cleanser has done it's duty well with my complexion after 3 tubes. I was in a rush and this was the first thing I grabbed.
I read the ingredients when I got home and I thought "the less ingredients the better" so I washed my face the first time. It took my makeup off well with my Olay ProX Cleansing Brush my face was pretty tight. Woke up there was a flare up and didn't think there was a big deal thought my pores were bringing the junk up to the epidermis.
After a week or so using this, I hate it. Absolutely hate it, I swear when I used my mom's cleanser it stopped flaring up. And now I have these patches of redness and they itched. I'm breaking out again. It undid what neutrogena did when I thought it was going to help get rid of my scars. :(
Only pro is, it smelled good but for a mask it was really runny.
I paid attention to the usage of this cleanser, and it didn't work. I should be attaching of what my face looks like after this cleanser. But I will be returning this to WalMart.
Thumbs down, avoid at all costs. and if anyone has a suggestion for a cleanser for helping get rid of acne scars hit me up!
HORRIBLE! Bought this in the hopes that this would help prevent my acne and get rid of some scarring (ha!). I've been using this for about a month now and have only seen one difference in my skin thus far.... I've gotten MORE breakouts! I definitely won't be buying this again, and I really don't think I'll continue to use it!
The product was good at first, but after they changed the formula it's great. I've used a lot of acne treatments but this is the only one that effectively clears my scars and acne. Along with the occasional usage of the Vanishing Acne Treatment cream, but skin is now spotless. Clearasil is the best thing that's ever happened to my skin.

I've been using this product for a week now and I really don't like it at all. Ive used it as a mask as well. I've been breaking out more then ever and it just isn't working with my skin. I thought maybe my skin needs to adjust to the product but I don't think this is the issue. It smells ok, feels ok and after I use it my skin feels clean but its only creating more acne. I used to use the rapid wash before they began adding the mask options and it worked better then this product . Not restocking this item in my bathroom for sure.

For reference I have combo/dry clog prone skin occasional blemish usually related to to TOTM, or diet. I purchased this as a mask and it was terrible. Irritated and overdried my skin, emphasized redness, and to top it off turned my 2-3 small blemishes into full on inflamed pimples. Even if it would have agreed with my skin, the quality was poor, thin/watery, and overly scented. Don't waste your money.

I like it-I reccomend not using it every day, that might be why people aren't liking the product. I like to use it about every 5 days, and in between i use other products. it helps because then your skin doesnt get used to it and work around it to keep creating acne. Overall, I really like this.
