I used this as a daily cleanser for a while in place of a more powerful acne wash that was harsh on my skin. this stuff made my skin feel so clean and helped treat blackheads. The effects on more severe breakouts was not as good but it still helped. If your skin isn't too sensitive I highly recommend it. If your skin is sensitive approach with caution because it does burn pretty bad.

Pros

  • great clean feeling
  • perfect daily cleanser
  • gets rid of oil
  • helps treat acne in moderation
  • Cheap!

Cons

  • BURNS SO BAD
  • turns skin red for a short while
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 3
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I have only been using this product for 2 weeks every morning and night, following its instructions. And sometimes, I wash my face with it after I finish exercises.

Before I started this, I was using cinnamon and honey mask and it made my skin breakout worse and there were HUGE, sharp zits all over my cheeks.

Then I started using this wash and stopped every other thing. Then after two weeks now, I can say I am very happy that those big zits are gone. There are small bumps still left in one or two. When I touch my cheeks they are smooth unlike before. So the big pimples are almost gone now. :)

I have small acne all over my chin and forehead. The face wash doesn't seem to be working on them. They are still there. Well.. maybe I need to use it more. Its only been 2 weeks anyway. And my acne marks and scars are still there so with a distance, no one can tell that there are not big zits there ! :(

So as a whole, until now I am happy with results.

I'll write another review after 1 or 2 months to let you know how its going. :)

PS : I don't use moisturizer. My face doesn't get too dry from this. My skin is oily. So maybe to some people it might dry too much but for me, this works well.

Pros

  • Gives my face a very clean feeling
  • Does not irritate my skin
  • Got rid of annoying zits pretty fast
  • Doesn't make my skin breakout

Cons

  • Doesn't seem to be doing anything to my small bumps ( small acne )
  • Doesn't do anything to reduce redness and marks
  • moderately severe
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 1.64
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I would recommend this to anyone with combination and oily skin. It does make your skin look red and can be drying. When I first started using this product it swept away my oil from my face and gave me a good glow (after redness settled down). Here's how I use it:

1. Put hot water on your face to open up pores.

2. Pump one pump Into your had(your hands should be wet)

3.exfoliate gentley for 10-15 seconds then wash off acne treatment

4. Important step! Let air dry then put on anyother treatment you use. Make sure you moisterize!

Pros

  • Leaves a clean feeling
  • Smells fine
  • Cleared up most of my cystic acne and blackheads
  • Skin feels soft and smooth after 1 use
  • Does not burn

Cons

  • Makes skin red for a short while
  • A tad bit dry
  • Itches a little bit
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 8
  • I recommend using this treatment.

If you're on the market for a foaming cleanser, this is about the best you can do. Johnson and Johnson uses the same ingredients in many of their cleansers and this one is the same as Purpose (as far as I can tell) but much cheaper. I think my 8oz bottle rang in at around $1.75 at WalMart with coupon. Although Cetaphil Gentle Skin cleanser stings my face on accutane, this one does not, so make what you want out of that. If you have oily skin, then the foaming cleansers are definitely for you. Don't mess around with "gentle" cleansers because they will not remove everything they should. Highly recommend, especially to those on a budget.

Pros

  • CHEAP (esp. with $2 coupon on website)
  • cleans face well without overdrying
  • good for my sensitive skin on accutane

Cons

  • may overdry dry skin
  • moderately severe
  • for a few months
  • $ 2
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I've used just plain Dove soap all my life but switched to this to see if it made a difference. It is very drying and really burns for about 20 minutes after you use it. Not worth it's benefits if there are any. I'll just stick with my Dove Beauty Bar.

Pros

  • Cleans well
  • Okay smell

Cons

  • Very drying
  • Burns
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 6
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

This cleanser cleared my skin up a little bit but it was never enough for me, I have combination skin and this product just dried me out. I feel like this is more a face wash for people in their twenties who no longer have acne and just need something to keep their face clean. I won't be repurchasing.

Pros

  • cleared my skin a little

Cons

  • Dried skin out
  • Smells awful
  • Didn't clear my skin completely
  • Made face shiny, but not oily
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 7
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.
