Pros cleans well
big bottle that lasts long
great lather
Bottom line I read a lot of reviews stating that this overdries skin. I think the key really is with this is to adjust how much you use based on your skin type - if oily use more, if dry use less. I have combo skin and i use half a pump or a little less depending on the day, lather really well in hands and rub gently for 10-15 seconds, and my skin is never dry. I recommend this cleanser to all skin types.

Pros - Super gentle
- I like the smell. It's weird. But I like it. ;) Some say it's unscented- but I definitely smell something.
- The bottle is cute. :)
Cons Because of it's consistency it tends to run down my arms when I'm washing my face in the sink. But I'm just kinda messy like that. ha

Cetaphil didn't give me this problem, but this cleanser is just a better cleanser so I deal with that tiny tiny inconvenience. Sounds silly to even mention, really.
Bottom line It's super gentle and great for pretty much any skin type! I always feel clean once I wash it off. It's not SO gentle that it doesn't clean your face!

I used to use Cetaphil, but I definitely prefer this cleanser.

If I was in a crunch and unable to order this from acne.org in time, I'd probably try Purpose Cleanser. I heard it's super gentle just like this cleanser. :)

Bottom line- if you're ordering off acne.org anyway you may as well give this a try. And the big bottle is only a few bucks more than the smaller bottle. If you are looking for JUST a cleanser, then you could probably try something like Purpose from a drugstore and save yourself the hassle of ordering off the internet. Unless you really love the acne.org bottles like I do....

I am sort of a nerd like that.

Pros cleans well, removes dirt and grime, nice and foamy, excellent for shaving, scentless, and makes your face feel clean and refreshed
Cons a bit too drying for my skin, really dries out the area around my eyes (had to buy an eye cream and serum to keep it from flaking) i also looked pretty ragged and aged with only a week of use, and i was quite happy until someone pointed out that my eyes looked incredibly worn out that i noticed and really looked in the mirror. i switched to cetaphil's gentle cleanser, and it has kept my skin much less dry before applying a moisturizer.
Bottom line for me, it was good at cleaning out everything but much too dry. i would recommend it to people with oily skin, but for me it was much too drying and when combined with BP and the moisturizer (not powerful enough if used with this) it compounded the effects and left my skin extra extra dry and really made my eye area uncomfortably dry. i only recommend this for people who have oily skin and need something stronger than cetaphil's gentle cleanser to clean with, because cetaphil's cleanser is recommended by my dermotologist/uncle, and really it does as little damage as possible to your skin and frankly not everyone can take a cleanser this dry, so it really depends on how your previous experience with cleansers have been. if you normally gravitate towards gentle cleansers in drugstores, then definitely try cetaphil's cleanser. if your skin is ok with stronger cleansers, give this a try, it's great value for a good product. i just wasn't part of the demographic this product was made for. i do love a lot of the other acne.org products though. 4 smiley potatoes only because it wasn't as perfect as the other products. i would give 4.9 smiley potatoes if i could.

Cons so drying!!!!!!
Bottom line okay so i ordered the whole regimen, ive been on it for about 3 weeks. The cleanser drys my face so much! My face is always flaky when im done using it! i feel like it strips my skin! okay i figured out though that i was washing for to long, but still, not a fan. i have combination skin, this cleansers good for only oily skin, not dry!!!!!!!!!!!! i personally like cetaphil cleanser, becasue it doesnt foam, i feel ones that lather dry my skin out to much.

Pros Cleans thoroughly, can order the big bottle so you have a lot to use if its as a body wash
Cons It's a little to harsh on the body, maybe face too? I'm really confused about how my face reacts to certain washes, but it isn't as noticeably harsh on the face as it is on the body for me at least.
Bottom line So this is what i noticed about the regime cleanser. As a body wash it is too harsh so it irritates my skin, thus causing breakouts. SO i found the solution. Cut the cleanser out on the body, use something really gentle (for me it's DOVE SENSITIVE SKIN). I use that on the body, the same way i would with Dan's cleanser. Then i use Dan's BP and AHA after, and my body break outs (chest and back) have reduced SIGNIFICANTLY, it's effing AWESOME. I highly recommend this approach for body acne. SERIOUSLY... Nothing else has ever worked on my body acne until now, you guys should definitely try this out if you're suffering body acne!

Pros Gentle.
Cons Didn't clean well.
Bottom line Everyone's skin is different and this cleanser simply did not do anything for me. It dried my skin out more than anything else.

Pros Very light and refreshing
Cons None
Bottom line I'll be using this product from now on...Ever since I've started using the regimen I haven't had any acne at all it's amazing. I've tried so many other products including proactive which used to work but stopped working and dried out my skin.

Cleanser, BP, Mousturizer and AHA at night = perfect skin if you stick to it.

Pros Cheaper than any OTC "treatment type" cleanser for the size of the bottle. I was paying $7 for 5oz of Olay. No perfumes or dyes. Lathers well.
Cons I can't find a single thing wrong with it...and I'm pretty picky.
Bottom line Best bang for the buck. It seems like an expensive program just because of the start up cost and shipping but if you campare the price per ounce including the shipping...you can't find a cheaper product on the store shelves. The bonus is that the stuff works great. It is super gentle and effectively takes off make-up.
Three important tips though...follow the directions to the letter.
10 second wash, no wash cloth and wait the 5-15 minutes between steps. And don't forget the moisturizer!
