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

Cons:

Did not eliminate chest & back acne.

Just didn't work. I had such high hopes, but haven't really seen a difference.

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:

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.

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:

It quickly stops all of the inflamed areas, it soothes your skin, it's cheap

Cons:

it doesn't really do much for the stubborn whiteheads that aren't inflamed, it has some fragrance

I love this soap..and it has been helping me maintain a type of skin that isn't perfect, but i casn go out in public..but it has been doing really great considering i haven't been using any medication..al i use in the soap..so when i finally choose what topical treatment i can use i'm sure it will work wonders..=]

Pros:

leaves your skin feeling clean, makes my skin look lighter but i think that the residue or somethin

Cons:

hard to keep from bacteria unless you have a soap case. And i think the price went up cause of the stupid economy. it use to be $3

It works! I have hyperpegminting skin and after two weeks my skin was CLEAR! of course i still have spots though. Then i stopped using it wanting to try something different cause i'm dumb. Now i'm on tazorac and finacea and i just use the liquid gentle cleanser from cetaphil. Yes my skin is clear with the topicals but the antibacterial soap cleared me up way faster though. So if you don't have money for meds or if your preganant use the bar soap.

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.
