Pros:very gentle on my skin, lathers nicely, inexpensive, animal- and earth-friendly, unscented.
Cons:none at all!
Bottom Line:i used proactiv for 6 months, and in the last month developed an allergy to it. at 32 y.o., i had the worst skin of my life. desperate, i found acne.org and decided to give dan kern's products a shot. it was a godsend. i've had amazing results using this with the rest of dan kern's regimen. this guy is truly a genius. i am not embarrassed about my skin anymore, and feel good using these products knowing that they are earth- and animal- friendly.

Bottom Line:I read a lot about acne products and what surprises me the most is that this facial wash is lacking tea tree oil. I hear nothing but good on tea tree oil!

Would be neat if people start a topic about adding in tea tree oil with this cleanser and test the difference... as far as how much, that would be hard to decide. I would think that 10% pure tea tree oil added to the cleanser would help significantly.

Pros:Very good lather, cleans well, rinses clean, cheap
Cons:very drying, especially around the mouth; smells bad, but the smell rinses off
Bottom Line:This product is worth it because it cleans well, but it is definently overdrying. That's not as big a problem as it sounds, though, because that's what moisturizer is for. I think that he could improve the formula, though, for that reason. Also, it turned out to be better for shaving than I thought it would be.

Pros:A lot for your money, lathers well, gets the job done and doesn't dry out my skin.
Cons:Very bulky bottle.
Bottom Line:This is a good product, comparable to Cetaphil, works wonderful. I love how you get a lot for the money you pay, 16 oz is huge, but the bottle is definitely bulky, so I pour some into my old Cetaphil bottle because Dan's cleanser is too big to sit on my sink (I don't have a counter). I would definitely buy again, it is such a gentle cleanser and one of the best I have used. It is nothing spectacular, but it does what it says.

Pros:gentle, cleanses skin well, no residue, removes makeup, big bottle
Cons:With shipping it's kinda pricey... but on second thought it's worth it
Bottom Line:This stuff is great - it's gentle so it doesn't irritate your skin but it's still effective enough to thoroughly cleanse and even remove makeup

Pros:Works Great as a cleanser, Best shaving cream ever. Lathers great. Affordable price, lasts for months Perixide gel is great
Cons:Sstay away from prolonged direct sunlight directly after using peroxide gel.
Bottom Line:Follow directions on package to a T. Works great when used as directed. Depending on your skin it might take some time to see big results but they come. Definately worth a try.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:cleans okay and is not overdrying which is nice; The price is affordable since it lasts many months depending how much you use it; lathers up real well and for people having problems with lather rub your palms in circles to get a good lather
Cons:does not clean well like other stronger cleansers; think I have little bumps on forehead b/c of that fact; got a filmy feel afterwards; way too big for convenience
Bottom Line:I have very oily skin though so I need do need a cleanser with a higher PH to clean all of that off but not be too overdrying; this is better for normal skin and dry b/c it just cleans but I need one that will do more so probably one with a little higher of a PH or an extra ingredient; still overall pretty nice and not overdrying which was a good thing but my skin gets oily again anyway so having a cleanser thats drying does not matter really; I use dove creamy facial cleanser which is just a little drying but overall still really good
Recommended:No
Usage:bob has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:Kinda cheap if you buy in bulk.
Cons:It honestly does overdry. A lot worse than anything else. A lot of these reviews are biased as you can easily tell. My sister also tried it and said it was way to overdrying. So buy a bottle and see how it works.
Bottom Line:try it.
Recommended:No
