Pros:

cost-efficient, vegan and organic, plain and simple, fair-trade ingredients, does not irritate acne or sensitive skin, cleans face/body without exposure to chemicals/dyes/perfumes/foaming agents, is versatile enough to use on hair/face/body/mouth/hands

Cons:

Peppermint scent can leave skin a bit tingly..

This is my numer one favorite product, ever, period. Just a few drops in a washcloth is enough to cover your whole body in rich lather that cleanses and invigorates the skin. It keeps the excess oil off of the face, and leaves you feeing wholesome , not slick and slimy or chemically treated like other "soaps." Dr. Bronners is well worth the money and everybody should own a bottle. My favorite scent is almond.

Amazing!
I've been using the Tea Tree and Hemp version for my mild chest acne and can't rate it highly enough! The red bumps have subsided massively and now I only get the occasional spot. Incredible stuff. If you've suffered with chest acne give this a go, it's amazing!

Pros:

not drying
economical
different scents to your preference
can be used for almost anything

Cons:

none.

I've tried Cetaphil, Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, ProActiv, and for a while, I gave up on cleansers and soaps completely for my face. I scrubbed with a washcloth with only water and it made my skin more irritated and have scabs from the broken skin. Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree Oil Liquid Soap is the ONLY thing I have ever used to not dry out my skin, make me dry and flaky, or leave residue. It leaves absolutely no residue. You only need a few drops. I use three to four drops of the stuff and it lathers amazingly. You don't need any more than that. Maybe that's why people are saying that it can be drying. I don't know, but it is awesome for me. It's not difficult to find (CVS, rite-aid, etc.) and you can use it for your body. I only use a drop for each body part. One for upper arm, one for forearm, and I change the amount proportionately from there.

Pros:

- Very gentle but effective
- Cleans off all makeup
- Face feels very clean
- Tightens pores
- All natural/Vegan/Organic/Fair Trade
- Different nice smelling scents
- Awesome packaging/bottle

Cons:

- Does not treat acne
- Can be a tiny bit drying but not bad
- Liquid soap not easiest to use
- Keep having to go through lots of face towels

I love Dr. Bronner's Liquid Soap!! Seriously it is AMAZING. It is the best and most gentle, yet effective face cleanser/wash I have ever used! For real. I use the peppermint and I love the cool tingly sensation it gives my face.The packaging is dank and it's all natural/organic/fair trade/vegan. I love love love it. :) Now, that being said, it doesn't seem to treat my acne alone. For almost a month I have been using it and I now have a couple more pimples and some blackheads than before. HOWEVER, my face is normally extremely oily (so oily it looks wet due to years of BP). I think that is the reason, not because of Dr. Bronner's Soap. I was hoping it would help with oiliness but so far it hasn't. I still am totally in love with this product. <3 Go buy this right now. Seriously, get ready and go to Target and buy this shiz. :)

which one did you use?
May 6, 2012

Pros:

-All natural
-Good for the environment
-Great Shampoo
-Lots of good reviews

Cons:

-Broke my face out terribly
-Ruined my day honestly :(

I don't want to bash this product, just because it is a really good product and it has a lot of good reviews. I use this as a shampoo and you can also use it around the house. As a face wash? I used it once yesterday morning, right after washing with it my face turned red and shiny and pretty much stayed irritated for the rest of the day. Now I woke up this morning and my face has broken out. My acne was doing pretty well, starting to fade away, and I'm kicking myself for ruining it all by messing with my routine. It might be an allergic reaction that I had, it might be this soap combined with another part of my routine that did it...I don't know. I'm not saying "don't try it", I'm just warning, it might not go the way you want it to. My skin is oily and very sensitive if that helps at all. I'm just praying that it'll go back to normal soon.

Pros:

-pure, organic, fair trade
-simple
-cleans off everything, make up too!
-natural and yet strong

Cons:

-tended to dry out skin
-jojoba oil in it broke me out :(

I seriously wanted this to help, esp because of how pure it is and all the reviews but I cant help that jojoba oil makes me break out. It's always little pimples that form on my cheeks when I use anything with jojoba oil in it. I hate to say it wont work for me ..but ITS GREAT for everything else. I use it to wash my furniture, clean floors, do laundry... I love lavender and tea tree so far i will rate 3 however because it can be used elsewhere and I intend to try it as a shampoo too.

i use this for everything

I use this soap for everything! When using on my acne I think that this keeps it under control but not completely gone. I have sensitive skin but other than the kinda tight feeling I have had no problems.

My clear skin savior

I struggled with sub clinical acne on my forehead for years. I’ve tried everything, from tea tree oil to benzoyl peroxide. I discovered this soap while researching more about how to get rid of these stubborn bumps on my forehead. They weren’t poppable and in certain lighting, they weren’t visible at all but it drove me crazy. I used Dr. Bonner’s peppermint soap and literally OVER NIGHT the bumps deminished by 80%. This stuff is miracle soap. The peppermint does tingle which I like and it has my face feeling fresh, clean and smooth. If you suffer with acne like mine, I HIGHLY recommend giving this a try. It’s affordable, accessible and so totally worth the $13 I paid for it.
