Great Product!!!
-02.27.13
This is one of the few products that will get the oil clogs and reduce the oil on my skin. I love it. It is great for the over 60 person with adult acne and oily skin areas.

Awesome acne wash
-02.13.13
Quick Take: non-drying, acne treating
I use this every night with my battery powered complexion brush and it's really done wonders for my clogged pores. It's kind of strong & medicinal smelling, but you can't win them all... esp with acne products. Non-drying, non-irritating. A must have in my face-wash arsenal.

-01.31.13
Quick Take: non-drying, acne treating
I had no idea I had oily skin...I thought my breakouts were caused by hormones or my bad habit of touching my face. Anyway, I tried this cleanser (I use it with my Clairsonic AM and PM) and my acne went away. I absolutely break out much less then I used to, and when I do, my acne disappears within a couple days. When I went home for Christmas, my (acne prone) teenage brother was obsessed with this cleanser after trying it out. It doesn't dry out or irritate my skin like other acne cleansers have in the past. Try it!!

Seriously Clean Feeling
-01.09.13
Quick Take: refreshing, acne treating, smells clean
I've had this line on my Sephora wishlist since it came out, because I always like to try new acne lines. Obviously, most of them are not very successful with my stubborn, moderate adult acne (hence all the trying). So, when I found this at a discount store, I was excited to try.
I am about halfway done with the bottle, and I have to say I *like* this product. It smells strong (it's a cleanser + toner, and I think the "toner" part gives it that medicine-y smell), but as most acne-sufferers will attest: the medicinal fragrance and slightly tight after-wash feeling is somewhat standard, and actually makes one feel like they're "helping" their face.
I am combining this face wash with a whole different line, and I only use it at night (I use Philosophy "Purity Made Simple" for the morning, because it leaves skin soft and make-up ready!), when I slather on the treatments before bed.
True story: my skin looks amazing right now - I think it is a combination of "No-Zit Sherlock" cleanser at night, Philosophy "Purity" in the morning, and The Body Shop Tea Tree to treat. My skin hasn't looked this good since I using prescription acne products. I recommend for a good, clean wash before bed!

no luck :(
-12.26.12
Quick Take: drying
I have extremely sensitive skin that reacts to pretty much everything. It's also extremely acne prone, and combination to oily. After maybe three days of using this cleanser, my face dried out so much to the point that it feels like leather when I touch it. Even after smearing on petroleum jelly for a few hours, the dryness hasn't gone away. It also did absolutely nothing for my acne. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with extremely sensitive skin.

weirdest thing ever
-12.17.12
Quick Take: acne treating
This stuff made my breakouts smaller and less visible within the first week I started using it and generally I love the results.
Around the third week of use though, I started getting these gigantic zits (just a couple but they're huge, its ridiculous.) I didn't even know pimples could get this big, I've always had teeny-tiny whiteheads... I will not repurchase if these monsters keep appearing.

Love the Fabulous Foaming Face Wash, so thought I would give this product a try, and I'm so glad I did. Will likely be asking for the set for Christmas - my skin feels wonderful and less oily with this cleanser.

-11.14.12
Quick Take: acne treating
I have been struggling with breakouts for almost 2 years. My skin was fairly good and I would get zits here and there, nothing major. This mid October I had noticed zits on my forehead. It had escalated quickly within the 2 week time period. I wash my face and kept my face clean. But still it was red and irritated, it bothered me. I had considered proactive, because I had tried almost everything. But my mom had bought me no zit sherlock out of nowhere. I used it the first night.I am now on my 5th wash of no zit sherlock and I hope my skin clears. My skin gets a little dry, but not too bad, but It makes my skin feel tight and clean. My skin is slowly getting better (hopefully). This is a must have product.

Face-saving
-09.24.12
Quick Take: acne treating, non-drying
I chose this product because it seemed at 28, and never suffering from acne that there weren't too many options left. An associate at the local store suggested I try this before taking drastic measures with ProActiv. I have incredibly sensitive skin. I tried it for a month, twice a day every day, and my adult acne was GONE. My face wasn't dried out and it was clear. I would recommend to anyone especially people who never had acne before adulthood...

-08.19.12
Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, acne treating, great value, cleansing
I bought this because 1)I loved the name 2)It was cheaper than any of the other face washes (such as murad) 3)I would do anything to get rid of my acne.
I use this day and night with my Mia Clarisonic brush (which I also love) and immediately after I use it, I notice that all of my makeup is on the brush head, my face feels super smooth and clean, and I feel so refreshed. On a long term scale, I have fewer breakouts (though during that time of month it can't be stopped) and the ones that do occur heal very quickly.
I love how the product has probiotics in it (kind of like yogurt). It's a very good buy and for only 22 dollars, it will last you a while since you don't need very much. After trying so many drugstore face washes, I think I would definitely buy this product again.
The only downsides would be: 1)It kind of smells like toothpaste (not bad but not good either) and 2)If you get it near your eyes it stings like a boss (but maybe thats just me being clumsy) But despite these negatives, the product still deserves a full 5 stars. :)

Quick Take: non-drying, refreshing, acne treating
I have using this product for a few months now. I got the trial set and liked all the items but i stopped using the step 2 & 3 because i wasnt get the results I wanted. This cleanser by itself is great. I use it with My st ieves green tea scub and my face is clearimg up. I love this because it doesn't dry my skin or make it feel nasty in any way. I will be buying the full size once I'm finished with the one I have now

Good stuff
-04.02.12
Quick Take: milky
I used to have flawless skin until I moved to the desert. The dry environment has been a challenge but by recommendation from a floor-sales-clerk, I tried the "no 'zit' Sherlock" regimen and it has worked pretty well though I use this in conjunction with the moisturizer. Kind of pricey, but does what it should do.

Quick Take: milky
I bough this when i forgot my face stuff on a trip to atlantic city about two years ago...i bought the trial pack at that time. I continue to use everyting except the spot clearing serum bc I NO LONGER NEED IT! This stuff is amazing and my skin has never been more clear than it is now! I also use it with my Clarisonic Mia and that only made things better! I can't say enough how amazing this is! To those of you who say it doesn't work.....you need to give it time. Your skin only cycles about every six weeks so looking for results before then is silly! Oh and this bottle lasts me at least three months! TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!

This product smells bad and doesn't rinse off easily (quite slimy texture). It didn't help with my blackheads... I wouldn't purchase this product again.

Great probiotic cleanser for my teenage son
-03.08.12
This line of skincare is perfect for my 16 year old son. He has very mild breakouts, but I'm obsessive about great skin and have literally tried every line of skincare for teens and acne formulas. Highly recommend this line to anyone who has occasional breakouts or acne problems. It's preventive as well.

Quick Take: milky
I've been using this for about a year now. A bottle lasts me several months and really pays for itself. It's helped clear up my stubborn acne, but I still have small-breaks out due to pms and I've seen little improvement with my pores. It DOES seem to shorten the lifespan of the blemish and I use it along with the face serum that is in the No 'Zit' line.

Jury is still out!
-02.22.12
Quick Take: foamy, milky, a little goes a long way
I've been using this for 6 weeks now. I like how my skin feels at the end of the day when I use it to remove my makeup, but I haven't seen huge results for my periodic breakouts. It does not over-dry and leaves no residue. However, I see no reduction in pore size. Still waiting to see if I'll buy it again.
