Holy Cow. Amazing!
I was getting a little disappointed with the Boscia black scrub I was using, so I wanted to try something cheaper. My skin has never felt cleaner. I use this with Fresh Farmacy and Mask of Magnaminty by Lush, and my skin is currently looking amazing, compared to what it used to look like even two weeks ago. The peppermint soap is the way to go, it really draws the toxins out of your skin while the hemp oil moisturizes and soothes the skin! Make sure that when you use it, you only use a couple drops and dilute it, and give it at least two weeks to see results.

Hello Dr. Bronner's, Goodbye Acne!!
I have dealt with acne for the past 10 years and have tried everything from face washing systems to prescription creams. Nothing has consistently worked until I tried out Dr. Bronner's tea tree oil as a face wash. I wish that I had come across Dr. Bronner's back in my early teens and I could have saved myself dermatologists visits and money! I started using this soap 2 weeks ago and can already notice a decrease in the frequency and severity of my breakouts as well as decreased pore size and an overall healthier looking complexion. My friends and family have even started to say that my skin glows these days! I wash with Dr. Bronners every morning and night and then apply raw apple cider vinegar as a toner (equal ratio of ACV to water) with a cotton ball. When I first started this new skin care regimen my skin got a little dried out so I applied a thin layer of Alba green tea and aloe face moisturizer when needed. I'm so happy that I came across reviews of this soap and decided to give it a try. I'm sure that the other Dr. Bronner's soaps are great as well and I'd like to try them. I like the tea tree oil soap for acne though because it has antibacterial properties but isn't overly drying or harsh on sensitive skin. And best of all this soap is only about $8-10 :)

Pros:

Simple to use
Really dissolve dirt on your skin
Smells good
Natural Clean feeling

Cons:

None!

I've been cleasing my face with this liquid soap for 3 weeks now along with moisturizing with jojoba oil. Let me tell you, it is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. I use to suffer with cystic acne and the combonation of this cleanser with jojoba oil has healed my skin. I only have 1 active bump on my skin at this point and it will heal within 3 days. At first, the jojoba oil with bring to surface any bacteria under the skin, but don't be alarmed because your skin is healing. My skin is healthly now and really looks beautiful and radiant!

Pros:

Smells good, vegan, not tested on animals, fairtrade, organic etc. AND: STOPPED MY BACKNE!

Cons:

A little strong, but can be dilluted!

This is by far the best product I have tried for my backne. I have used it for a week in combo with Sudocreme every now and then, and the results are amazing. Acne is clearing up, scars are less visible. I am so happy as i have struggled with backne for years, and really have dreaded getting undressed. Now, it is not at all a problem, apart from some scars that will fade. I recommend this to everybody who wants to get rid of backne. And it also is a good soap overall! Today i am even tying it out as a deodorant! :-)

Pros:

Gentle- the unscented version seems as gentle as Cetaphil to me. The scented versions might be a little less gentle.
Cleans- while as gentle as Cetaphil this is soo much better at removing make up and whatnot. A good lather will remove almost to all of your non-waterproof mascara first try!
Little goes a long way.

Cons:

Sometimes squirt out more than needed.

I wash my face (gently like Dan recommends) twice whenever I wear make up; first to remove make up and second time to cleanse skin. It doesn't dry my skin out. And the citrus one smells like an orange creamsicle! This can also be used for make up brushes, hair, and body!

hg!
i love this stuff. i have tried a few and the tea tree one is by far my favorite. i started using the bar soap version and just recently picked up the bottle of tea tree soap and was so impressed. the bottle version is 100x stronger and works amazing! if you try it and its too strong for you or have really sensitive skin, try the bar, its amazing too.

AMAZING!!!
I started using this when I was pregnant to try to stay away from chemicals. I break out SUPER easy so I was skeptical. My skin did not break out from it and I'm still using it post baby. My skin has never looked so good. It can be a little drying if left on too long or if you have dry skin to begin with. Also it really burns your eyes so KEEP AWAY FROM YOU EYES. My holy grail product. I use it in my hair and body too. Amazing stuff!

Pros:

Natural, organic, fair trade and all that
Foams really well
Gets all my makeup off
Fewer acne and allergy flare ups
Fragrance free (in the Baby Mild version)
Cheap

Cons:

None yet

My skin is very oily and sensitive (especially to fragrances) so finding a gentile, affordable cleanser that actually gets my skin clean has been a battle. Even Purpose and baby washes broke me out and they didn't really get my makeup off. But the Baby Mild version of this is awesome! It even removes Revlon's Colorstay foundation. And it costs about the same as most acne cleansers but you get more in the bottle.

Pros:

The 16 oz. bottle lasted me for an entire year, very affordable and cleared my skin

Cons:

mildly drying

This soap was recommended to me by a friend who had adult acne which was cured using this soap. I highly recommend the Peppermint variety since the mint has anti-fungal properties which reduced inflammation. If you're skeptical, try buying the travel sized versions which will only cost a few bucks, but I guarantee you will come back and get a larger size later.

Pros:

Incredibly versatile, natural, healthy for skin, smells and feels nice, is a company I feel good supporting, cleans effectively.

Cons:

Can be drying.

I am a huge fan of these soaps. I have Peppermint, and use it for everything. We're pals. I feel like they clean much more deeply than the more heavily marketed washes. I really appreciate that they don't have BP and other nasty chemicals, because while I'm not a complete cynic, they've just never worked for me and I don't see the need to risk aging and other skin issues for no benefit. The company itself is great, I love that they're not advertised and the people are still passionate about the (free trade!) product. It definitely does help keep me clearer than the biore and proactiv cleansers I sometimes use when I don't appreciate Dr. B's enough, and I attribute that to the really deep clean I feel like I get. I wouldn't expect it to be a magic bullet cure, but I don't think a cleaner should be that. It is what it is, a great, effective cleanser, so I wouldn't get it confused with masks and treatments.
