Pros:

Inexpensive
Smells great
Plain
Deep cleans

Cons:

None so far!

After having my skin tortured by a harsh acne treatment, I thought I would follow the Regimen. The first time I used this cleanser, afterwards, my skin felt so fresh and invigorated; like no other cleanser has given me this invigorated feeling. I just love it!

I used to use Proactive a couple times for my pimples. However, since i'm young, this made my skin very dry,irritated, and left red, itchy marks. So, I asked my sister to get me a lighter one at the store that wouldn't be harsh on my skin. Fortunately, she picked this up for me!! I use this every night. After just a couple days,it really works and makes my skin feel great! It doesn't dry it or leave marks. It actually helps clear up acne or acne scars. Thumbs up to this product!!

I am an athletic 27 year old that never had problems with acne growing up. I'd get the occasional pimple or two, but not until when I hit 26 did I start seeing these things pop up everywhere. First it started on my cheeks, then jawline, then forehead. Pretty much it got to the point where my entire face was covered with these raised bumps. It's been a pain to deal with and not to mention that my confidence around others dropped. At first, I thought I could treat my acne through OTC products and even used my sister's Proactiv then started using Max Clarity. Let me tell you that both products did not work at all. Then I started going to the dermatologist and spent money using products like epiduo & differin. Neither of those products worked after using each for a couple months or so. Then I came across this site and did some research and read through Dan's regimen. It works. It takes a lot of time, patience, and effort, but it does work. I don't use the acne.org products, but I do use his regimen. For me this worked: Morning 1) I use a the Clean & Clear Foaming Cleanser and lather it up on my face for 10 seconds. I let the water do the washing off and then air dry. 2) I skip the benzoyl peroxide part in the morning (In Dan's regimen, he recommends you do it twice a day) 3) I use a very light, non-comedogenic lotion (Cetpahil) and apply it to my entire face to prevent drying. Evening 1) I repeat as AM 2) Once my face is completely dry, I use DDF Benzoyl Peroxide (5%). I use about a half a size of ping pong ball portion of this stuff and gently apply it on my entire face, paying more attention to my more acne prone spots. 3) After the BP completely dries, I repeat the same lotion application as the AM The key is to really try and not touch or pick at your face at all. I know this is really hard, but you it really helps the healing process. Note:The products I've listed above will not w

Pros:

Pleasant Scent
Very Affordable
Online Coupons Available
Gentle Foaming for Sensitive Skin

Cons:

None

I used to have severe cystic acne that only Accutane could cure. Two years ago I was on a hunt for a liquid facial cleanser because I learned that bar soaps can clog pores and I was still suffering from monthly breakouts. I tried almost everything and in the process discovered I have sensitive skin. This is the perfect combination, it lathers and has a light scent, without irritaing skin.

Pros:

Very light and gentle
No scent
For sensitive skin
Effective
Soft, NOT stripped feeling
CHEAP

Cons:

Takes a little effort to lather (but the complaints are very overexaggerated, rub between your hands before you wash to lather, and it's done)
I like a CLEAN feeling, but really, getting that feeling is unhealthy for your skin, because it's been stripped of its natural oils. If you like that feeling (regardless of the fact that it's not good), this is not the product for you.

I love this cleanser. It doesn't necessarily leave my skin feeling stripped and squeaky clean, but that means that my skin remains soft and supple, while being clean and fresh. It's the perfect balance, and happens to be the cleanser that was recommended by Daniel Kern as a supplement to the Acne.org cleanser, and was what he used before he made his own cleanser. It really works to clean the skin, and using it with the Acne.org BP and AHA has made my skin fabulous. I don't regret this purchase at all, and I've been using this product for months now. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. For all of those people saying that they got redness, only wash for ten seconds (yes, TEN), and don't SCRUB, put gentle pressure, almost so that the solution glides over your face. If you cleanse for longer or press too hard, you'll irritate your skin, but it's YOUR fault, not the cleanser's. If you have acne. look at the Acne.org system. Honestly, if you stick with it, it will work wonders for you. It has worked wonders for me (if only I took my own advice and consistently used it, and didn;t occasionally leave it at college when visiting my family, I would be 100% clear ALL the time). And even if you don't end up doing The Regimen, this guy has A LOT of good advice from REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE.

I have a Halloween dance next next week, and a few weeks ago I broke out like crazy, and I think my crush was to embarrassed to even talk to me, He avoided me !! Anyway, My sister bought this product for me, because she is a dermatologist (she hates me so much). and she thinks I'm to ugly to be seen by the world. Yeah, she bought it for me, I used it twice a day for the last two weeks and my skin is AMAZING. <333 I love this product. And lots of my scars are gone. I have almost beautiful skin ! I absolutely love this !. Usually Clean and Clear doesn't work for me, but this product is a miracle. I loooove it ! And I love that "clean" feeling you get after every time you use it. I don't know if its just me, but I can tell whenever that "clean" feeling is actually clean ! In the next two weeks max, I predict that I will have no more acne, no more blackheads and no more oily skin !! Its truly a miracle. Im 13 years old, and I LOVE this stuff. My skin hasn't been this clear since I was 11. (: In conclusion, I definitely recommend this product, To anyone with blackhead problems, oily skin, and even people with acne scars !! I have a good feeling this years Halloween dance is going to be AMAZING for me. <3 -I love this site so much !! Thank you, Daniel Kern !! (:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:
