Pros:reduces pimples, reduces redness, decreases the bacteria from the skin, makes the skin a whole hell of a lot smoother & softer.
Cons:can be a teeny tiny bit drying, but other than that, it's perfect!
Bottom Line:Use it twice a day, morning & night. It's very effective. I love it. If you don't see any results within a few days, give it a week. you have to be patient. your skin needs time to get used to the product.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Works well as a body soap
Cons:Smells gross, doesn't rinse clean.
Bottom Line:During my early days of the Regimen, I shopped around for awhile trying to settle on a bar or cleanser that really worked for me. I can safely say that this one doesn't. The smell is kind of terrible, like old-lady stale perfume or something, and the consistency of the soap is kind of chalky. I felt that it left a film behind on my skin. It didn't aggravate my existing acne, but it didn't do much good either. I ended up using the rest of the bar as a body soap in the shower, so it wasn't a total waste of money, but I wouldn't buy it again.
Recommended:No

Pros:Smells fine, and cleanses great.
Cons:Irritated my skin a lot.
Bottom Line:For the first few days, this cleansing bar seemed great! But then after about 4-5 days, my skin started to become very irritated while cleansing my face with this bar. My eyes became very puffy and red. I'm sure it is a great cleanser overall, perhaps I am just allergic to some ingredient in it...Triclosan??
Recommended:Yes
