Pros:Very gentle, doesn't irritate skin or leave it dry after cleansing, and I had no issues with this causing breakouts. It's also cheap and widely available-- which is fantastic!
Cons:It's not too great if you're trying to remove make-up, but I don't tend to wear much at all, except for special occasions, so that wasn't a real issue,
Bottom Line:I love it! It's so gentle and reliable-- if I try a different product and it does horrible things to my skin, I know that I can always return to this product. I would even go so far as to say that it has helped clear up my skin-- I was using such harsh crap on my face before and it did my acne no good. Using gentler products helped clear my moderate acne. It's still not perfect, but it's better.

Pros:Cleans really well despite not lathering, doesn't sting eyes even with direct contact, removes makeup better than about 20 other cleansers I have used, reduces redness immediately
Cons:This product has really helped me out I have no complaints.
Bottom Line:I urge anyone dealing with moderate acne to try this! In a week my skin went from oily and dry spots with lots of pimples to really even and balanced, and is more clear than it has ever been. I think less must be more when it comes to facial cleansers. I am never switching to any other cleanser.

Pros:Cleanser is extremely gentle, but still cleanses the skin. I gently massage it into my skin for 20 to 30 seconds to remove makeup and oil... and my skin is not irritated.
Cons:You do not get a lather, nor do you feel squeaky clean, therefore it may lead some to believe it is not working.
Bottom Line:Great cleanser. Inexpensive and easily accessible at nearly any drug store. Removes dirt, oil, and makeup, without irritating your skin. I would recommend this to people who have extremely sensitive skin, such as dry skin with acne and/or rosacea.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Jenny has used this item for about a month.

Pros:It is non-irriatating, mild, and fragrance-free.
Cons:It is like using pure lotion to wash your face with. It just never made me feel like my face was getting truly clean with this stuff. So, that was a major turnoff.
Bottom Line:This product has no cleansing agents in it all that I have noticed. It is something that is mild, however it seems to be too mild for it to really do anything beneficial towards one skin. Overall, I do not recommend this product as it simply is the equivalent of using lotion on your face to cleanse it with.
Recommended:No
Usage:Syb has used this item for about a week.
