By Jen, Northern KY on 12/02/2008

I love the Basis bar... it's not an acne treatment but it is very gentle and cleanses very well. I use it with Benzoyl Peroxide and it works better than any of the expensive crap. I only moisturize in the morning and my skin isn't usually dried out unless I used the BP the night before. I have tried EVERYTHING and I will likely always use this cleanser- it seems to keep my skin pretty calm..

Pros:
  • No fragrance. Lathers and cleanses well. Cheap.
Cons:
  • None that I can think of. Kind of hard to find, but usually because it's hidden among the billions of other cleansers and is packaged plainly.

I really like this, it has cleared up my body acne. It leaves my skin feeling very smooth. I am very comfortable using it every day, and it's one of the few products that I keep buying (instead of feeling the urge to try something new). I really don't use it on my face that often due to the fact that it is dries me out. But occasionally if I want to feel really clean I will use it on my face.

Pros

  • Cleans really well, great lather, I use it as a body bar in the shower w/ a loofa. One bar lasts a really long time.

Cons

  • Can be drying on the face, so I don't use it on my face too often.
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 2.79
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING MODERATE TO SEVERE ACNE FOR MANY YEARS. I AM 36 YRS OLD, AND AFTER THE BIRTH OF MY SON WHO IS GOING TO BE 16, MY SKIN WENT CRAZY! I HAVE TRIED EVERY PRESCRIBED REMEDY, OTC PRODUCTS, DIET CHANGES, PROACTIVE, THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS KEPT MY SKIN CLEAR! USE A FRAGRANCE FREE MOISTURIZER AFTERWARDS, AS SOMETIMES IT'S A LITTLE DRYING, BUT THIS IS WHAT WORKS!

Pros

  • IT'S UNEXPENSIVE, EASY TO FIND FOR ME, RIGHT AT THE GROCERY STORE

Cons

  • ONLY IF THEY'RE OUT OF STOCK WHEN I NEED IT!
  • moderately severe
  • $ 3
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I use this product with Dan's BP, and CeraVe Moisturizer. If you want a clean feeling afterwards, use this. I love the way it makes my skin feel. I may mix it with a dab of BP cleanser later on though.But its a really good bar. I love it.

Pros

  • Leaves your face clean, smooth, and soft.
  • Very affordable
  • Lasts forever and very gentle on skin

Cons

  • Slow to clear acne...May need to add something to it that's a little stronger. If you have sensitive skin, don't try that.
  • moderately severe
  • for about a week
  • $ 1.97
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

The is the best face wash ever. Its nice and gental but powerful enough to clean and keep my acne under control. I use with ''The Regimen''. Unlike ever other products clame it really leaves you skin smooth, comftable, relaxed, and over all not IRRITATED. It may dry a little but with a good moisturize you will be perfectly fine.

Pros

  • Clears and keeps acne at bay. Washes and rinses great. Smells great too.

Cons

  • None for me!!!
  • severe
  • for about a week
  • $ 2
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

good soap for entire body. If you have sensitive skin don't use any other body wash. use this and spray perfume or calogne on later if you want to smell appealling. My doctor always recomended this but i was a dumb kid that liked to smell good with the axe body wash, haha, should've stuck with this though. you live and learn

Pros

  • lathers up really nice. I have very sensitive skin and this product doesn't irritate it as long as i'm sure to rinse it off completely.

Cons

  • it's a bar, i use this all over my body, and a liquid soap would be easier and more sanitary than a bar of soap. that can fall down and pick crap up that you're rinsing off
  • severe
  • for about a year
  • $ 4
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

If you have sensitive skin, DO NOT use this soap. I doesn't "soothe" skin at all, thats just marketing. It turns skin red and itchy. No difference between this "sensitive skin" soap and my old Wal Mart brand facewash.

Pros

  • Cheap, easy to find.

Cons

  • Irritates and dries out skin. Clogs pores.
  • moderately severe
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 2
  • I do not recommend using this product/treatment.

The fact that I have gone to the trouble to seek out a website for Basis, speaks volumes!

I would be horrified if I couldn't find it in stores anymore!!

Pros

  • It has been the best facial soap that I have ever used... If used daily out breaks are a thing of the past!

Cons

  • I have to try 2 or 3 locations before I can find it in stock.
  • very light
  • $ 2.95
  • I do not recommend using this product/treatment.

I use this product for "Dans Regime" and it seems to help with the process. i love the price. Im a 16 year old dude who has moderate acne and this stuff helps.

Pros

  • The cleanest my face has every felt!

Cons

  • Makes the skin alittle tight. But not like you cant open your mouth
  • moderate
  • for about a week
  • $ 2.99
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.
