Too harsh

I have a really oily T zone so I decided to try this product but when I used this face wash, I felt as if it did nothing much to help my acne. It only made my cheeks extremely dry as it was too harsh for it. Wouldn't buy it again

Way too harsh for me.

I purchased this a while ago in a moment of desperation when I was having really bad breakouts. I got it from Countdown for about $15 and used it once daily in the shower for about one week before giving up on it. I felt like it did a really good job of cleaning my skin but it was just way too harsh for my dryish and 'sometimes a bit sensitive' skin. It left my face extremely dry, a bit red and feeling quite sore. I suppose it did dry out my pimples a bit, but overall my skin was left in a much worse condition.

Tips: This would suit oily skin much better.

Too strong and not for normal skin

I used to have oily skin, and my friend recommended this to me as being a great cleanser. What I found was this was far too drying and strong for me personally. My skin went red straight afterwards and it left me feeling itchy. Would not recommend for light oily to normal skin.

Extremely Drying and Irritating

I have tried this a couple of times when I have had breakouts, but stopped using it as it is very very drying. Leaves my skin feeling very tight and irritated and a bit itchy. I think it is much better to use a spot treatment or wait the breakout out instead of using this on your whole face.

Tips: You lots and lots of moisturiser if you use this!

Extremely drying

I used this product once and will never be using it again. I have quite oily skin but after one use my skin was extremely dry and cracked and took over a week of using an extremely thick moisturiser to repair itself. It left my skin very painful.

Itchy, Dry Skin :(

After Having my Second baby i completely broke out in acne. It was horrible, so I purchased this product from the supermarket. it was ok for the first day or two days, although I wasn't seeing any change in my skin. after about the forth day of using my skin became very dry, flaky and incredibly itchy (which is that last thing you want on your face) you get a lot of product so It would last a while, but i wont be using this again.

Not For Sensitive Skin

I tried this product and while it did clear up my skin of zits it was also very harsh on my sensitive skin and gave me a rash after about a week of using it every evening. If you have skin that can tolerate a harsher product it is effective at eliminating zits. Not recommended for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies to salicylic acid.

Hurts!

I tried this thinking it would make have that nice clear fresh skin like on the adds. However I was largely disappointed as it completely dried out my skin until it burned, after 1 was. I felt my skin stinging, and I don't have very sensitive skin. It felt like there was some really harsh chemical's in this and it didn't do anything about my acne either. Do not buy.

Very drying!

This product dried out my skin no end. I skin felt awfully tight and dry after using this. I did like how it foamed when it came out, but when something foams i always feel like its giving me a good clean. For the price, i can get many other skin care items that just work better for my skin.

Don't use this

I used this once a day because twice a day dried my skin to much. Growing up I never had any problems with dryness until I used this product. It dried the skin around my nose so had its scared now. I would never recommend this
