So i have been using this for over a week now including the acne clearing serum. I started breaking out worse around my jaw. I heard that starting a new skin care routine can break you out, but is it normal for this product and should i keep using it and wait for results?

Only for extremely oily skin
I have combination skin with a lot of blackheads and was freaking out around my chin area. Although my t zone is oily, my cheeks and forehead are dry.

Terrible almost pure liquid !
Ugh I really dislike this "gel" its more like water. This goes right in between your fingers wasting so much! It doesnt sud up or act like a soap in any way!! Please bring back the acne bar of soap ! We miss it !!
It's pricey but good.
Try to buy things when you have a coupon so it isn't so pricey. Only some coupons apply to this brand unfortunately. But some do. Anyway, step up from the old discontinued neutrogena acne wash that was a similar color to the Clinique acne bottle.
Great Acne fighting product

I purchased this product for my daughter who has acne prone skin. Other things she had used over the counter for teenage girls have not worked. It does not irritate her skin or cause excessive dryness. She loves it.
I will continue to bye the product
