Pros: I received mine for free! Doesn't have a terrible fragrance
Cons: Even with as little acne as I have, I didn't find the results I envied
The Bottom Line: For the outer beauty you've always wanted, try different things, even Biore Blemish Fighting Cleanser. You have to find what works for you, but I don't necessarily recommend this.

| ihelppeople's Full Review: Biore Blemish Fighting Cleanser |
Let's face it, we all want clear skin. As I am now in my thirties, I still have a few breakouts. I care about my skin just as much as when I was in my early twenties. I want something that will clear my skin and help me to feel clean! I picked up a Biore sampler at a soccer tournament my daughter participated in, and I figured they must have been hinting something! Anxiously, I tried it.. day after day... for three weeks. I didn't see a single thing happening to my skin. It wasn't dried out (I was using a fragrance free moisturizer), but I also didn't see my skin clearing like the packaging said it would. Even though I was given "blemish bombs" and a travel pack of makeup remover wipes, I didn't feel the need to try those at the same time. If my skin were to dry out, I'd rather it do it less rather than 3 times more. I have heard that salicylic acid is great at cleaning deep down into pores, and refreshing the skin. Maybe it is the mixture of salicylic acid and some other ingredient used in this Blemish Fighting Cleanser.
The active ingredient is: 0.5% Salicylic Acid
Other ingredients:
1. Water
2. Polysorbate 60
3. Decyl Glucoside
4. Alcohol Denat.
5. Sodium Laureth Sulfate
6. Lauryl Hydroxysultaine
7. Sodium methyl cocoyl taurate
8. Lauric acid
9. Cocoyl sarcosine
10.Cocamidopropyl betaine
11.Potassium hydroxide
12.Sorbitol
13.Cocamide mea
14.Citric acid
15.Sodium chloride
16.Panthenol
17.Diazolidinyl urea
18.Fragrance
19.BHT
If you have sensitive skin, I would not recommend using this product, or any blemish fighting/acne clearing product that contains fragrance. As the skin on your face is much more sensitive than on your hand, the fragrance might create a reaction. I also recommend that is you find that something is drying your skin more than you'd desire, either discontinue use of that product, or use a fragrance free moisturizer like Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.
Back to Biore: This Blemish Fighting Cleanser is supposed to be *Hypo-allergic *Non-comedogenic *Dermatologist recommended and *Prevent breakouts without over-drying skin
I seriously cannot find the humor in that. The main point I am trying to get at is this product is not for normal to oily skin. It is not for those people who have more than just a few pimples. I wish that it had worked, but since I had gotten it for free, I'm not complaining. If you have more than a small amount of blemishes, I recommend Noxema or Neutrogena. There are so many different manufactured products that say they prevent this, or treat that. You just have to shop around, and try a few to see which is right for you. Biore Blemish Fighting Cleanser made me feel clean, but didn't clear my skin of acne.
If you want to see more about the Biore Blemish Fighting Cleanser, there is a website given on the bottle:

*Good luck!* And, if you find a good product for the typical female over thirty, please feel free to make a comment added onto this opinion!
