Pros:

gets make up off good. cleans oily skin well. smells good.

Cons:

dries out my skin!

well everything dries out my skin so i guess thats a me problem. like i said it removes make up really well and by make up i mean foundation and concealer. not eyeliner. but i makes my skin feel tight, stiff, and dry after i wash my face with it.

Good for the every now-and-then breakout
Whenever I have a bad breakout, this is definitely a good go-to product that will stop a breakout and get your skin looking clear. I would only recommend it when having a bad breakout, though, as it leads to some pretty rough drying if you don't apply moisturizer straight after use.

Pros:

Clears skin, non-irritating

Cons:

Only comes in a bar form

The best cleanser I've used in quite some time. It works especially well for cystic acne and other inflammatory types of acne because they are caused by bacteria. I just wish it came in a liquid form because bars contain pore clogging fillers.

Cleansed

Did not eliminate chest & back acne.

Pros:

-Can be found in almost any drug store
-Fairly inexpensive

Cons:

-Hard to travel with
-Can dry out my face

I really enjoy the Cetaphil anti-bacterial bar. I use it on my face and body and I have had great results. Although many dermatologists suggest not using soap on your face I have found this product to be pretty mild and it has not broke out my face. Occasionally it can be very drying, especially in the winter season. I would suggest using a moisturizer with this product. Overall, I will always be a loyal customer.

Pros:

i had bad acne scaring and the soap helped take those scars away immedialty

Cons:

didn't get rid of my acne and didn't reduce the redness and dried out my skin

The bar helped the acne scaring but didn' take the acne away.I would recommend for cleansing or scaring but not for acne.

Pros:

-When nothing else worked, I switched from Purpose Bar to this bar and I haven't had one pimple since!
-Not too drying and washes off easily.

Cons:

-The bar breaks apart very easily and seems to go away very quickly

For some reason, this and BP has kept me 100% clear for the past month when nothing else has. I think this bar is amazing and I hope everyone gives it a try!

Pros:

- Works very well.
- Gentle on the skin.
- Good for use on face and on body.

Cons:

- Could smell nicer.
- Would be easier to use in a bottle, not a bar.

This is the only product that has truly worked for my skin! I use the bar on my face multiple times a day, and it doesn't dry me out at all. Coupling it with a little bit of BP lotion on my problem areas (applying BP all over was way too harsh for my skin) and following up with a moisturizer has absolutely turned around the look of my skin. I don't break out at all now, normally. The only time I DO break out is when this bar of soap gets small and seems to stop working, but switching to a new bar clears me right up again! Bottomline: this product worked for me, when I honestly thought nothing ever would. I only wish I'd discovered it years ago!

Pros:

I had acne on my back and chest due to all the vigorous excersize I do each week. After using this soap for almost two weeks, it is ALL GONE! This product was affordable and worked great! I cannot say enough good things.

Cons:

I was disappointed when I didnt get the results I wanted right away, but I found out it can actally take longer for some people's skin types. The fragrance is overwhelming at first,but worth it to be able to wear low shirts again.

It totally works. Dont waste your money going to a dermatologist. Use this first, and if it does not work for you, then try the alternative.
