Pros:

Cuts through the oil. I got out of the shower feeling cleaner than I ever had with any other type of acne cleanser or soap. This has not dried my skin out at all. Using 4%.

Cons:

My acne has not completely cleared up yet, but it has only been 2 weeks so far. (and in the middle of the summer)

My derm prescribed it to me for my shoulders/back and I've also been using it on my face because it feels SO much better to get rid of the layer of oil that I have. Worth it for that alone. I got out of the shower wondering if "this is how normal people feel when they are clean"? ;)

Pros:

strongest BP soap out there

Cons:

doesnt lather at all,slips off your skin if your skin is to wet, and you have to leave it on for a few minutes for it to work. Also very gritty, the bp is not well milled.

this is just a BP wash. my derm told me to not "slap it on", but to let it sit for awhile to let it work. this is hard to do for back acne in the shower...very annoyin procedure. it is very drying. I'm not sure how its supposed to work, exactly, if your sin doesnt really absorb the bp, unlike dan't product, which is rubbed into your skin and left there to oxygenate. I noticed that the grains of BP in this wash are so large I can feel the grit without lookin for it. very weird. super expensive without insurance converage.

I don't know if this stuff will help me,i'm using it for the first time.I've used a dozen of acne products but no long term effect what so ever.For example:Smooderm(aka retin A),Skinoren,Zineryt,Roaccutane,Isotrexin,the best was Roaccutane but the risks are severe because of the intoxication of the whole body with a substance not quite well known&studied.I've read also that acne is caused by the fact that the body isn't able to expell the toxins resulted from the metabolism through liver&bowel,they leave our body through skin. :| Be optimistic,at least this the last thing that's left for me...

Pros:

None

Cons:

After a few days of use, my jawline felt abnormally tight, but not necessarily dry. A few days later the area I was washing began to peel like a snake shedding its skin

I was very optimistic trying this product after reading so many good reviews on here. However I had an awful experience with this stuff. My skin peeled so badly that my face was red and raw. I used cetaphil cream (the heavy stuff) and that helped a little. I was using it once a day. I have since switched to Epiduo and have seen great results
