Pros Works well, cheap, easy to find, pleasant smell, not over-drying if you have oily skin
Cons Drying on my cheeks (I have combo skin)
Bottom line It's a pretty good product. I use it with St. Ives 3 times a week. It sometimes flakes my skin. Overall a good product though...

Pros It's cheap. Removes leftover makeup.NOT Drying. Long Lasting. Lathers well.
Cons none
Bottom line Fantastic! I just swipe my makeup off with a makeup wipe. And then remove any leftover with this cleanser. It is drying only if you use it for more than 10 seconds or less. Basically just use dan's cleansing method in his video. It is so super cheap and super long lasting compared to cetaphil. Cetaphil feels like your putting watered down lotion on your face. It also lathers super well!

JUST REMEMBER DON"T LEAVE IT ON THE SKIN TOO LONG!

btw it's a really good cleanser but a cleanser alone won't clear you acne. I used to have moderate acne but now i'm clear from 2.5% dan's bp. I don't use it twice a day but once a day and i use 1 pump. Dan's products are amazing but i really love this purpose cleanser.

Pros The acne on my forehead and chin disappeared! I also suffered from a lot of blackheads. Purpose seemed to take care of this problem. Also I'm 27 and most other acne treatments for teens were too harsh and made my skin go NUTS! So this was good.
Cons My cheeks are still affected by acne. It's better than before but not as clear as I hoped it would be. I'm not sure if it's the soap or the moisturizer I have to use after washing. The soap is going to dry you out.
Bottom line Give it a try. The Bar may work for you. At the very least it will remove excessive oil without the harsh chemical of acids and peroxide. I've been using it for about a month. I'll post another review after the bar is gone. Maybe things will have cleared up completely by then!

Pros Controls Oil. Rinses clean. Nice lather. Large bar (long-lasting)
Cons Price but you get a large bar.
Bottom line Been using for 4-5 years. Started for facial acne but now use as a total body bar of soap. Like the fresh smell and clean feel.

Cons drys skin slightly, but a light moisturiser like aqueus cream eradicated that.
Bottom line FANTASTIC

Pros Clean feel.
Effective for such a big bar of cleansing soap.
Good for sensitive skin.
Cons Slightly dries the skin when coupled with BP.
Bottom line After months of continuous treatment using the soap, I've got comments from students in my school and they said my face is clearer, though there are still growing acne but small pigments. Use twice a day, try warm water!

Pros Non irritating, cleans well not a striped feeling. Must not leave on too long and not scrub with wash cloth, instead just use hands and warm not hot water. Moisturize afterward. Moderate acne cleared. Reduced inflamation within two days.
Cons A little pricey but worth it.
Bottom line Try it! I tried it thinking it would be like everything else.
Glad to say was pleasantly surprised. I'm sticking with this one.
