I've used it for about 5 yrs ever since i started using products for acne.

even though a lot of acne kits come with soap or cleansers, this one is the best.

use it and you won't regret it.

Pros

  • gentle, feels very clean after using it, doesn't interrupt with any other skin care or acne medication, cheap, last for a long time, gentle smell.

Cons

  • none!
  • moderate
  • for more than a year
  • $ 5
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I have been using this product since 1992. My dermatologist recommended this along with DML lotion twice a day, now Carols Daughter. My face has done great in transitioning to her face product, which my dermatologist approved of due to the ingredients in it. I am 51 years old and my skin is amazing, NO one ever guessed my age correctly......I am sure most of it is genetics. But the product has never dried my skin out as you know in Houston, the humidity is a "killer" but great for skin. I have never used any other product on my face and I never will. It's worth every penny and it lathers great. Why spend money on expensive cleansers when this is all you need. At least for me it is.

Pros

  • not drying
  • lasts a long time
  • goes with me everywhere

Cons

  • none
  • light
  • for more than a year
  • $ 3.49
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I ran out of dan's cleanser, so I thought I would give this product a try. Withing 3 days of use my skin was flaking off in large chunks, and even moisturizer would not hide the dryness. Under my jawbone on the neck was the worst, just raw epidermis lol. I don't know why this happened but the purpose bar did not play well with me, I am using Dr. Bronners soap now and it works well

Pros

  • effective cleaning
  • strips oil off well
  • large size
  • cheap

Cons

  • extremely drying
  • did I mention drying?
  • moderate
  • for about a week
  • $ 4.49
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I don't see how this isn't just another regular soap that's transparent instead of solid to make it seem like it's a natural bar specialized for problem skin.

Pros

  • it's transparent?

Cons

  • definitely not pore-friendly and it's made of dead animal parts. tried this for four months and basically it made my acne a little bit worse and wasted my time.
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 3.89
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

I love this product! I have been using this soap for about 2 years now. I used to use the liquid version of it but i didn't like that one too much because that one would make my skin feel kinda weird and oily after washing it off. However, after using this product, my face feels really clean. This soap doesn't cause acne, dryness, or irriation! Highly recommended!

Pros

  • Really Cheap
  • Lasts for ever!
  • Odorless, very gentle.
  • Not overdrying
  • Does not clog pores and cause acne!
  • easy to purchase

Cons

  • NONE! This product is great for sensitive skin and acne pron skin.
  • moderate
  • for more than a year
  • $ 5
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I use this soap morning and night and occasionally after work. It is the only face wash I have used that makes my face feel really clean. It washes all my makeup off leaving no residue. I always try to stay away from soaps with a lot of ingredients and this is the only basic soap I have found that lathers/cleans well enough.

I also use epsom salt to scrub my face. I have always mixed it in with my face washes to make a scrub but when I tried mixing it in with this soap it had a weird reaction and sort of clumped together so now I just make sure I rinse this soap off thoroughly before scrubbing with epsom salt but i've actually had better results scrubbing the epsom salt on with water instead of mixing with soap so it's not a problem at all.

Great and simple product.

Pros

  • Light and gentle
  • Gets face really clean
  • Washes away all makeup
  • Doesn't leave residue

Cons

  • Bar soap is always sort of messy
  • moderate
  • for about a month
  • $ 3
  • I recommend using this treatment.
