Pros:Best soap for SENSITIVE SKIN/ ACNE. Very Cheap. Works Great!
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I tried EVERYTHING for my ACNE. Paid top dollar for skin products/prescriptions.Used Dermalogica, Clinique, etc. This is the only thing that clears and maintains healthy skin. I suggest using the Purpose Moisturizer with it. They just came out with a Redness Reducing moisturizer. It's a little more expensive ($14) but is amazing.

Pros:Got rid of acne.
Cons:Makes my acne reder when washed in a sink.
Bottom Line:I dont know if that is a coicidence or not, but whenever I wash my face in the sink with it, my acne looks reder for about 30 minutes after washing, but when I wash in a shower it looks fine.

But other than that, its GREAT, I would definitly encourage buying a BP spot treatment to go with it cause this brings out all your acne, so be patient because its worth it.

Also, it dosent dry out your skin if you dont later too much. It made my skin dry the first few days, but then my skin adapted.

Pros:Price
Works very well
Cons:A little drying
Bottom Line:I ended up buying this at target after reading all the reviews. I bought this, a soap travel case, and a tube of BP from neutrogena. This face wash works very well. It does strip your skin of any excess oil, and does dry out your skin, but its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. My skin type is NOT oily either. I would say I have pretty normal skin.
After washing, it leaves your face feeling very clean, no residue. Works very well for the price. After using this product I do not think I will go back to any other cleanser thats not a bar.

I ended up taking the advice of one of the other reviewers here. The bar was too big for my travel soap box, but I cut the bar in half, and put half in a zip lock bag to save for later.

Pros:It does what its supposed to do, and the scent isn't bad
Cons:it was very drying
Bottom Line:combining this with dan's regimen at the beginning is not a good idea. It dried out place i wasn't even applying bp... i've had much better luck with the liquid version. However, for people who don't have a problem with dry skin, this would work just fine.
