Pros Cleans face wonderfully
Cons IS NOT A ACNE TREATMENT!
Bottom line It's a great clenser to tagalong with a acne treatment, and it leaves your skin soft and shiny, IF YOU HAVE NO ACNE! This IS NOT something that will take away ANY acne at all. This have simply helped me with the slight skin dryness Acne Free left me with. P.S. I've been using Acne Free for about 2 weeks, and no results yet, maybe some later I hope? I plan to try Netrogena On Spot tommorow,

Pros Removes makeup well
Smells really fresh and clean
A little goes a long way
Cons Can't leave it in the shower
Leaks horribly out of the top so it makes travel difficult
Can irritate skin after awhile
Bottom line I bought this because I just wanted a simple cleanser that would remove my light makeup and wouldn't clog my pores or cost a fortune. It removed my makeup very well and it smells really good, and I was really happy with it for about a month. I noticed I had been breaking out more than normal in little red pimples all over my face, but I thought it might be the stress from summer classes and crappy roommates, but I spent a couple weeks at my parent's house and went back to my old cleanser I had laying around in a cabinet (I used to use Cetaphil Gentle) and by the time I went back to my home in Minnesota these little red bumps had disapeared. That is the only think that changed in my routine, so I have to say that the Purpose Cleanser is what was wrecking my skin. I don't think it clogged my pores, but I do think it irritated my face and that is almost just as bad as clogged pores. I have found out that the Sodium Laureth Sulfate in it (which is one of the top ingredients) can be very irritating. I did really like this cleanser and I feel bad that it didn't work out for me, so I am not going to get it a bad rating because it didn't work out for me. If you don't have sensitive skin than this will probably work out great for you, so I do recommend it, just not for me :)

Pros - Gentle
- Smells nice
- Can be purchased locally in the US
- Cheap in price
- Lathers beautifully
Cons - Fragrance added :( (prefer no additional ingredients)
- Water can seep in bottle (even says so on the back)
- Pump requires product to dispense before being able to lock it
Bottom line Overall this is a great gentle cleanser that I have been using for about a year. I usually switch between this cleanser and Cetaphil, both which are great. I consider my skin oily and this cleanser isn't overdrying.

Pros AWESOME
Cons Works very well, very gentle
Bottom line I have tried many cleansers for my moderate to severe acne face, until now I thought I needed a really powerful cleanser to clean my oily face. Now I know better, I was skeptical of this product being too gental but I have been using for 2mo now and am very very happy with it. Highly recommend to anyone!

Pros - its gentle
- is affordable
- no bp or sa
- leaves skin clean
Cons The only problem I had with this was traveling with it...dont just put it in a ziploc bag in your suitcase bec you will loose a TON of product!! The bottle is not good at all
Bottom line Love this face wash! I have very sensitive skin and i found that i cannot use anything with BP or SA bec it just irritates it more..this stuff is perfect! Its great for people who just need a basic face wash to let acne heal, not make it worse. It makes my skin soft and ive actually had fewer breakouts bec it takes off makeup and cleans deep :]

Pros Fragrence free.
Cons Too drying.
Too expensive.
Bottom line I had to stop using this face wash because it was too drying for me. I actually dilluted it with some water and that seemed to help stop it from being so strong. I now use dove fragrence free soap on my face and it isn't so dry. It is a really nice face wash, but too drying for me.

Pros none
Cons Made me break out
Bottom line I decided to try this out when I ran out of the acne.org cleanser, and at first it seamed to be a fine substitute. I didn't like that it had fragrance in it. It's been about a week, and my face has broken out worse than it has in a long time. I have a cyst on my chin and at least ten whiteheads all over my face. I'm so upset!

Pros Removes all oil and even the toughest makeup, makes skin soft, doesn't dry skin, and is just an AMAZING face wash and the best I've ever tried.
Cons None except The bottle spills when its on its side, so I either have to be really careful or have to put it in a different bottle...and that's really annoying. But NO cons about how GREAT this works :)
Bottom line After reading reviews on this product a year ago, I decided to use this as a part of my regimen. Never have I once doubted this product to remove all of oil and makeup on my face. My face becomes so smooth and works great when I use a moisturizer afterwards. Give this a try, you WONT be disapointed :)
