Pros:No smell, doesn't overdry, makes skin feel comfortable and soft and smooth.
Cons:None!
Bottom Line:This stuff is amazing. Until now I used the Neutrogena foaming cleanser which I realize totally over-dryed my face. I'm using this sensitive skin cleanser with the neutrogena healthy skin lotion. So far flakes and dull dead skin are just melting away. My face has a nice glow to it and I feel like the moisturizing quality of this facial wash is helping to heal my acne faster, which means less redness. Love it!!!

Pros:Left my skin feeling very moisturized while still feeling like it was effectively cleansed. Very gentle. Smells pretty nice.
Cons:Price vs. quantity; It's not a horrible deal, but not the best either. Also, it's ok at taking off eye makeup, but it will still be a little smudgy after. I always use an eye make up remover first.
Bottom Line:I was worried to switch to this cleanser after using the same cleanser for the past 8 years or so, and after recently switching to using benzoyl peroxide. My skin didn't react negatively to it though, and it felt more moisturized than my previous cleanser. I was happy with this product.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Lorraine has used this item for about a month.

Pros:It didn't dry out my skin at all! I have dry skin during the Midwest winter months with ocassional breakouts. This is the best cleanser for the regimine.
Cons:I just started using it so I hope it's really getting my skin clean enough. I haven't tried to remove makeup with it yet. I was using Purpose but it was too drying.
Bottom Line:Very gentle and didn't cause my skin to feel rough and dry.
Recommended:Yes

This product is perfect with people with very sensitive skin. True, it doesn't produce much of a lather and feels very lotiony, but it does not contain any fragrances or detergents that can irritate and dry out the most sensitive of skin. I'm a guy so I can't really say anything about how well it removes makeup, but keep in mind that you don't need a foamy cleanser to clean your skin. In fact, a very foamy cleanser may make your skin dryer due to the detergents that are used to make it that way.

Definitely the most agreeable cleanser I've used, and works well for guys (doesn't smell or come in feminine packaging). Adds back moisture, just like it says.
