Pros:This is the BEST cleanser! For those using it for acne - acne is caused by bacteria, so why not use an antibacterial soap? Research has proven that a cheap bar of antibacterial soap kills acne BETTER than any other cleanser.
Cons:Slightly drying, but anyone with acne should be using a moisturizer anyway
Bottom Line:I bought this product for the acne and bumps on my back/shoulders, then started using it for my face - couldn't be happier! And no, your body does not become immune to the bacteria when using an antibacterial cleanser. Check out Dial & Cetaphil's websites among many research professionals to see for yourself.

Pros:leaves your skin feeling clean, makes my skin look lighter but i think that the residue or somethin
Cons:hard to keep from bacteria unless you have a soap case. And i think the price went up cause of the stupid economy. it use to be $3
Bottom Line:It works! I have hyperpegminting skin and after two weeks my skin was CLEAR! of course i still have spots though. Then i stopped using it wanting to try something different cause i'm dumb. Now i'm on tazorac and finacea and i just use the liquid gentle cleanser from cetaphil. Yes my skin is clear with the topicals but the antibacterial soap cleared me up way faster though. So if you don't have money for meds or if your preganant use the bar soap.

Pros:easy to find
Bottom Line:I love this soap. I just wish I had began using it 2 yrs ago when I began breaking out horribly with cystic acne. Something about hitting 30. I tried so many things and nothing seemed to work. Luckily I saw some great reviews. I wash my face morning and night with this soap. I follow with a 2% salicylic acid (BP is too harsh for me) I also add 1 drop of jojoba oil to the salicylic lotion and follow with an SP moisturizer in the day. Seems to keep my pores exfoliated nice and clean not dry at all.
