Pros:Great at taking off makeup, and so cheap.
Cons:Tends to be a bit drying and stings if you get it in your eyes.
Bottom Line:I have to say that I've tried everything. I don't suffer from acne horribly, but get zits here and there depending on the time of the month. Since I stopped using the three step system that costed me approx. $60.00 a month and switched to this mild bar soap my face has dramatically improved and for $2 for every 2 months you can't complain too much about that. Give it a try...what's $2? I saw improvement in my skin in just a couple days.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Reviewer has used this item for a few months.

Pros:Affordable alternative to Cetaphil products. Nice clean fragrance. Good lather. Long-lasting bar. Easy to rinse.
Cons:Hard to find. When Walgreen's stock runs out, I have to order it via Amazon.
Bottom Line:Unbelievably good product...leaves skin feeling soft instead of 'squeaky clean'. You won't find a better moisturizing soap for this price.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:David has used this item for about a year.

Bottom Line:I love it to pieces!

Pros:Very cheap, large amount for the price you pay, fragrance-free.
Cons:Dried out my skin.
Bottom Line:For a soap that says it's for sensitive skin, it dried out my face and made it feel tight, even after I applied moisturizer. The packaging also says it's non-comedogenic, but it contains lanolin and beeswax, two ingredients that I suspect, from using other products with these ingredients, causes me to break out. I'm going back to Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar.
Usage:Nowhere Girl has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:Doesnt break me out, doesnt make me peel, lathers up well, smells nicely, doesnt sting my face when I put the bp and dans moisturizer on top
Cons:peels a little bit after I wash my face
Bottom Line:Normally when I use a facial cleanser that doesnt agree with me, I will break out from it the same day. Ive only been using it since yesterday (8/9/07) and so far I love it! I havent broken out from it and my face doesnt itch like most cleansers Ive used. The redness on my cheeks has already subsided. I just ordered Dans cleanser so Im gonna rotate between his cleanser, this bar soap, and maybe use Aqua glycolic a couple of times a week.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Molly has used this item for a day or two.
