| Pros | - No harsh ingredients - reasonable price - come in travel size - good for sensitive skin - basic cleanser |
|---|---|
| Cons | - bad smell - bad texture ( gel like ) - saw no improvement whatsoever |
| Bottom line | I have sensitive skin with light acne.My sister reccomended spectro jel to me but I found that it did nothing for my skin at all.I switched to cetaphil.Cetaphil is for sensitive skin as well but smells great is at a reasonable price and i actually noticed my skin getting clearer with cetaphil.Do not waste your money on Spectro Jel , go for CETAPHIL! |

| Pros | relatively cheap, no smell, comes off nicely, doesn't dry skin, cleared acne fairly well |
|---|---|
| Cons | didn't completely clear acne |
| Bottom line | I started using this in about October. It is now April and my skin is still improving. I recently combined this face wash with Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Cleanser. It has really helped it work better, even though the Tea Tree stuff didn't work well on it's own. I have dry skin. I would recommend this. |

| Pros | Okay price Not much smell Very gentle Didn't make me break out |
|---|---|
| Cons | Doesn't remove makeup Doesn't seem to do much to my skin Doesn't feel clean after it Didn't clear my skin |
| Bottom line | It is extremely gentle, but it doesn't feel clean. I've been using this product for over a year already. I can't seem to find any other products that suits my skin, but I am still on this product. I don't like it much because it doesn't make me feel clean or makes me feel that it changes my skin much. I would recommend it to people that have light acne, because it really doesn't seem to do much to the skin and I don't even feel clean (sometimes I have to wash my face twice to get the fresh skin feeling). |

| Pros | cured my perioral dermititis didnt have to use antibiotics scent free easy to use doesnt burn affordable gentle |
|---|---|
| Cons | none |
| Bottom line | I was diagnosed with perioral dermatitis. It burned, was itchy and embarrassing. My doctor prescribed me minocycline 2x a day for 14 days then once a day for 7 weeks. I took it for 2 days thats it! I felt stoned, nauseous and very irritable. I searched the web & one person stated she tried Spectro Jel.. I went & purchased it immediately. That night i washed my face with it then applied a thin layer over the worst areas & left it overnight. OMG! in the morning my skin was cleared and the blisters were gone. I definitely recommend this product it's amazing! |

| Pros | Cheap Cleared my skin Gel consistency feels great when massaging Washes off easily/Leaves no residue (When skin is clear) Leaves skin looking healthy |
|---|---|
| Cons | Slight fragrence Does not clear scars and black heads Does not exfoliate |
| Bottom line | I highly recommend this for oily skin I still have 75% of this product left after a few weeks Definitely worth the price It came with a cute bag and light moisturizer (again, good for oily skin) |

| Pros | Doesn't dry skin Scent free Great cleanser Easy to use No burning sensation No harmful chemicals Cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | Doesn't clear scars Will make skin slightly red after usage Takes a bit longer to see results |
| Bottom line | I use this in the shower everyday and it works great on my sensitive skin. I've tried everything and it only made my skin extremely dry and red. Spectro Jel however doesn't make my skin dry but only redens my skin immediately after I get out of the shower (redness will slowly go away after 10 minutes). That being said, I use it daily and in the shower. It's quick, easy, doesn't smell and keeps my skin pretty clear. I recommend using a different product for scars considering it does not clear those up. I also recommend using a light, oil free moisturizer after washing off the Spectro Jel if you are prone to dry skin. |

| Pros | Recommended by my dermatologist Cleans face really well Does prevent acne Good for sensitive skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | Doesn't take away acne, only prevents it |
| Bottom line | I started using this because I had allergic reaction to my last cleanser so my derma gave me this to use instead. I've been using this for quite a while and it's really good for people with sensitive skin. Also one tiny 50 ml bottle lasted me the entire summer! so it really stretches your dollar :) |

| Pros | Everything! Cleared acne right away Feels good on the skin No itching/burning Gentle Dosen't dry skin out Bottle lasts a long time, about 4-5 months (used 1 pump twice a day) Can be bought in a mini travel- size |
|---|---|
| Cons | Doesn't exfoliate |
| Bottom line | This product is AMAZING!!! I absolutely love it! I had been struggling with acne on my forehead for months and months and this combined with Clindoxyl Gel and Differin XP, completely cleared my skin, I haven`t had any acne problems since I started using it about 4 months ago. :) |

| Pros | - doesn't dry out skin - prevents breakouts - washes away dirt and makeup |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | The best everyday gentle skin cleanser out there! I have even used to use cetaphil then switched to this and have been using it for over 2 years. I would not recommend this product for severe acne as it is too gentle. For those who are complaining about blackheads, the only way to remove/prevent them is to get facials and use a SCRUB to exfoliate and prevent oil build-up! |
