Pros:

super gentle, non drying, cleared up my skin fast (even most blackheads are gone)

Cons:

smell is okay (not great, not bad), bars of soap aren't convenient

I love it. It's super gentle, cleared my skin up super fast. Doesn't dry my face out. It's evened out my skin tone and makes it easy to put on makeup. And SO cheap. I don't feel like I'm attacking my skin with harsh cleaners. I don't feel the need to scrub anymore to get acne to go away. I do use a makeup removing cleanser first just to be sure, but I use only the bar in the morning

Pros:

Works well as a body soap

Cons:

Smells gross, doesn't rinse clean.

During my early days of the Regimen, I shopped around for awhile trying to settle on a bar or cleanser that really worked for me. I can safely say that this one doesn't. The smell is kind of terrible, like old-lady stale perfume or something, and the consistency of the soap is kind of chalky. I felt that it left a film behind on my skin. It didn't aggravate my existing acne, but it didn't do much good either. I ended up using the rest of the bar as a body soap in the shower, so it wasn't a total waste of money, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Pros:

there arent any because I hate it

Cons:

makes acne worse, isnt strong enough for my skin, does feel like Im washing my face, and its too expensive for something that doesnt work

Last year I had the longest period of my life, one whole miserable month. I dont mind sharing that; lol. As one would expect with these kind of hormonal changes I experienced severe acne. Why on earth do dermatologists recommend this s***? I used Cetaphil for four months before finally deciding to switch to Neutrogena Fragrance Free Fracial Clenser. This honestly is THE worst stuff in the world for acne. It isnt strong enough, it didnt even feel like I was washing my face, and mild acne turned into severe acne when using this stuff. Its too expensive for something that doesnt even work! I do not recommend this stuff to anyone but particulary people who have acne and rosacea.

Pros:

Moisturizes skin.

Cons:

I makes my skin feeling/looking more shingy/greasy, clogged pores causes more breakouts. Very expensive.

I had used this product for more than a week but what it did was to make my face more oily. I have an oily skin and this product does not suits me. I wouldn;t recommend this product for those who have oily skin. Very expensive, not worth it.
