    I like this product as an exfoliator that provides a little bit of acne-fighting power. It makes my skin so smooth when I don't have many pimples! However, last summer when I was battling...

    I hate this stuff. I used it in high school. It worked for about four months than completely stopped working. By that time I had signed up to get it in the mail automatically which was a huge...

    At first, I liked this cleanser. Has exfoliating beads and I thought that would be good for my oily, acne-prone skin. But it dried out my skin terribly!! I found that if I use Cetaphil to...

    This is my go-to exfoliating wash of choice. While it's not classified as an exfoliator, the grainy texture makes it one for me. I used to use this every day years ago, but it became ineffective...

    The Pro Activ cleanser is awesome. Out of all the products in the 3-step system it is the only one that is worth anything. It gets rid of acne so fast. It is kind of expensive and I find the...

    So I know that everyone isn't a fan of this skincare line. I have to say that I don't have acne and never have, but I do get blackhead and whiteheads and this is the only product that keeps them at...

    I think this is the most drying component of the 3 step program. I used this for a few months, and my mom commented on how I did have a few less pimples overall, but my face had this lightly...

    I totally disagree with the "thick cream" comment. I find this stuff is FAR too runny. Everytime I use it if I have too much, the product just runs down my hands, down to my arms. Which is...

    This cleanser does not clean my skin! It is a thick cream, and you need to take a lot every time to get at least a little result... When you put it on the skin it "disappears" in some way, as...

    Out of the 3-step system, I love this product the best. Does a good job of cleansing (although can be slightly drying), gets rid of breakouts, and most important, does not cause...

    Don't like the price, but I really love this cleanser. I don't find it drying at all, and it leaves my face fealing super clean. I struggled with acne for years and this cleanser is a keeper.

    I liked the texture of this cleanser and when I was young it initially cleared my badly broken out skin pretty nicely, but it lost effectiveness and just didn't have enough benzoyl peroxide. Also I...

    I don't understand all the negative reviews. I love this stuff. I've had acne on and off since I was 13, and I've taken two courses of Accutane (in my teens and very early 20s). While I rarely...

    Gentle exfoliate for acne prone skin. I use it once a day and love it but one thing I don't like about it is the smell! It can be too harsh for me if overused, but I rotate with other gentle...

    This cleanser was really expensive. I wouldn't have minded the cost if the product worked, but it didn't. It made my face really dry and irritated. It did nothing for my acne.

    And it's expensive. I've had acne for many years and was hoping this would help! (I don't mean a few pimples, I mean severe acne that was even starting to scar). My cousin was using it and it...
