Pros:Nice stuff, does NOT irritate, cleans skin well and reduces acne slightly, skin feels great.
Cons:None really.
Bottom Line:Really good for skin, doesn't make a huge difference to acne but cleared up my skin somewhat, still have pimples so am trying clearasil but highly reccomended for people with light acne or just as a skin cleanser... does not irritate skin in any way. Great product.

Pros:Very gentle
Pretty good as a shaving cream
Cons:Thick
Does not lather
Bottom Line:This product feels like a lotion. Because its thick you can use it to shave without cutting yourself as long as you shave properly. Its a good face wash, but I prefer something gentle that I can lather.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Brandon has used this item for about a month.

Pros:Amazing for dry, sensitive skin. Cleanses but doesn't over-do it or dry the skin out. As gentle as a product can be. Great cleanser to use prior to using any type of treatment, medication or moisturizer. Calms my skin of most redness and irritation.
Cons:The consistency does take a little while to get used to like most people are saying but it's worth it. Also for me it seems to leave a little film on the face which I don't like during the day so I only use it at night and it's fine by the next day.
Bottom Line:I saw results on my dry, sensitive, flaky skin after just a few uses of this product. I was tired of irritating and drying my skin out with harsh products so I switched to this. It has been great so far. Also for the people worried about Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, it's literally 1% or less of a concentration of it, it's harmless in those amounts. I highly recommend this stuff, especially for people with dry, damaged skin. It's also excellent for winter. I use it in conjunction with CeraVe moisturizer and a healthy, skin care Diet and my skin is healing up very well.

Pros:-Lightly Moisturizes dry skin from topical medications.
-no smell, few ingredients, leaves skin feeling clean and soft
-It's good for people who are active and need to wash their face a lot because it's not harsh and won't overactivate sebum g
Cons:-when you wear makeup you have to wash your face twice.
Bottom Line:I LOVE THIS CLEANSER. I use the Kroger brand from Smiths because it's cheaper (it's basically the same thing) I use it injunction with my dermatologist's topical treatment (Clindamycin Solugel 4) and the topical treatment leaves my skin really flaky sometimes but this cleanser really softens it up and really helps my skin retain it's natural moisture without breaking out. Plus you can find it ANYWHERE. two thumbs up.
