Pros Gives skin a nice looking tone.
Quick and easy to use
nice smell
comes in bar form
Cons surprisingly dries out my face, but everything does
Bottom line I use to use proactiv for years. I became really sick of the amount of time it took, and i was convinced that it was giving me more acne. This bar has worked pretty well. Hasnt completely cleared everything up, still a pimple or two. My favorite part is the ease of using it, probably because I came from the 10 min long proactiv nightmare.

Pros cleanses without overdrying
removes makeup well
Cons medicine-like odor
Bottom line My skin has become quite dry and sensitive since using Spironolactone; I had to ditch the acne washes and find something specifically for dry skin; this does the trick! Cleasnes without overdrying. It's the perfect solution.

Pros makes my skin feel clean but not to dry. decreases the redness in my Irish skin. i can use it morning and night and my skin has just the right amount of oil on it.
Cons none. i don't have the sense of smell so to me it smells like air.
Bottom line i love it. it has a great lather that feels so soft on my skin. instead of redness all over i just see freckles and skin.

Pros -Does an excellent job cleansing the skin
-Feels great on the skin while cleansing
- Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
Cons -Mild dryness after using it
Bottom line Perfect for cleansing your face. Use it morning and night. My dermatologist also says it's probably the best facial cleanser to use.

Pros Cleans face of dirt and makeup.
Cons KIlled my skin!!! DO NOT USE unless you want to end up with dry, peeling, leather-like skin. I used to have pretty normal looking skin ( texture) until I started using this. My skin is horrible now thanks to this. It resembles snake skin.
Bottom line DO NOT use this for your FACE. It will give you chronic dry, peeling skin. My face looks horrible after using this. I don't think this is meant for your face, mainly for your body. It's just too harsh and drying. Use, the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser instead. It's very gentle.

Strive To Resist from Beaumont, CA
April 5, 2009
Pros Lathers well, smells nice (like any good soap), doesn't dry skin, rinses clean, soothes
Cons None
Bottom line This is the best cleanser I've found yet. I recently had a very bad reaction to my regular regimin (don't know the trigger) but this has soothed my skin and kept it very clean and fresh-feeling. I bought it because my skin got very sensitive and dry, and the dryness is actually improving and my skin rarely flares up like it did before.

Pros great overall face soap, good for sensitive skin, lathers really well
Cons its a bar?
Bottom line I have used this face soap for years and love it.. I just recently figured out how well it lathers. rub the bar in your hand for a while and then really rub your hands together and feel the lather.. the lather is so soft and seems to clean my skin a bit better. it cleans my makeup off well, doesn't make my skin feel dry like most other things i've tried, makes my skin pretty soft... overall, great soap.

Pros cleans very well, maybe a little too well

Bottom line bottom line is that i'd use this bar only as a last resort.

Pros I love the fragrance, it is cheap and it didn't leave my skin oily or dry and just left it feeling clean. Also it even reduced the redness to my skin from ance.
Cons None.
Bottom line Everyone's skin is different but it worked very well on my oily/dry combination skin. It has made all the difference for me, actually.
