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.

Have used this for years (especially in the summer months) and have no complaints. It's mild, it cleanses well, and never causes irritation or breakouts for me. It's also cheap as can be. If you're frustrated over your ultra-sensitive skin and tired of searching for a cleanser (especially if the sulfate-based detergents in liquid cleansers do not agree with your skin), then skip all the other beauty bars and try this one first. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Pros

  • Removes all make-up (even water-proof varieties). Is very mild, e.g. calms redness on my face (I have rosacea type II) and never causes any sort of sensory reaction, breakouts, or clogged pores.

Cons

  • Drying in the winter or very dry climates (however, irritability is more important to me than how moisturizing a cleanser is). Fine for summer when it is very humid and skin is more oily in florida. Often hard to find locally.
  • $ 3
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I just hope they never quit making this soap.

Pros

  • I have used basis products since the mid 80's. It's the only soap that does not irritate my skin but also keeps me from getting too oily

Cons

  • finding it on a local store shelf. they are always out or do not restock
