I moved to this product from Neutrogena’s Anti-Blackhead scrub when I decided to try the Acne Stress line. I have found the Acne Stress line to be very effective, but it took a while to get accustomed to the gentleness of this “scrub”. It is not as abrasive or as drying as previous scrubs I’ve tried, but my complexion overall looks and feels excellent (with the occasional minor and brief breakout) so I can’t complain. Perhaps I was just inciting oil production and acne with more abrasive and drying scrubs. My one complaint about the product is that the little blue scrubbies inside of it are often left behind in the shower (I use the product nightly in the shower after the power foam) and have to be wiped up.

This seemed to do absolutely nothing for my skin, and it even left my skin feeling unclean. I couldn’t wait to go back to my tried-and-true St. Ives Apricot Scrub.

I’ve been using the Acne Stress Power-Cream Wash (not the scrub) for about 3 weeks now and my skin is the clearest and softest it has been in a long time. I’m 28 years old and suffer from adult acne. It’s not that bad but I almost always have bumps all over my forehead and a few large, red ones on my chin, jaw-line area. I’ve tried countless washes but this is the only one that works for me. Within about 5 days the bumps on my forehead were almost completely gone. And the rest of my face had cleared up completely. I don’t know what makes this wash different than the rest but it is the ONLY one that has made my skin soft and gorgeous. I LOVE IT!!!! I use it with the Neutrogena Pore refining toner (which I must admit I didn’t use a toner before), and the Neutrogena spf 15 moisturizer. I am SO happy with the results that I am no longer afraid to go out without make-up on. I’ll be buying this product forever

This stuff is surprisingly good. I was a little skeptical at first because of the cool cucumber-mint feel that I experienced after using it, but it really does a good job. I like to follow up with some oil-free toner, and lotion. It does what it’s supposed to do without drying out the skin.

I swear this did nothing but irritate my skin, make me feel uncomfortable and MAKE MY ACNE WORSE!!!

(not to much worse but it did get worse and not better). I don’t like the feel on my face. [Legalize Medical Marijuana]
