Pros:

I LOVE IT! I've tried everything from prescriptions to really expensive department store products. Finally my dermatologist recommended Basis and my face has been clear for years. I wish they sold more products like body wash and moisturizers!

Cons:

It's hard to find unfortunately...

I love it. I think it's the best thing out there!

Pros:

it doesn't have ANY harsh chemicals not even salicylic acid yet breaks down blackheads

it uses aloe vera to help with irritation

can be used on super oily skin (like mine) or super dry (like my friend's) and still totally eliminate cysts, blackheads, zits, breakouts, pimples, and irritations

even clears body acne

Cons:

absolutely none

this clears all skin when given at least 2-3 weeks if not more depending on the severity but should still be pretty clear by then. keep in mind that it has to not only clear skin but flush out chemicals and toxins from previous products.

Pros:

Love the smell. Cleans very well, does just what it needs to. Good lather.

Cons:

A bit pricey for what you get, but not bad. Slightly drying, but not to worry with a good moisturizer.

If you're expecting a miracle, think again. However, this does just what it needs to do; it cleans. I love the scent, though I typically stay away from fragrance. Hasn't irritated my skin at all. Make sure you're using a good moisturizer when using this. Great for oily skin.

Pros:

smelled/felt nice

Cons:

made acne worse

though the fragrance was possibly one of the only redeeming qualities of this facewash, it was also its downfall. the extreme perfuming of the facewash ended up irritating my face and resulted in more acne.

Pros:

I have been using this for about a month, and i absolutely love it! It doesn't dry your skin out, and you don't need very much to wash your entire face. I love the smell, too, it is really relaxing. Also, a plus that it is all natural!

Cons:

None for me! I was able to find this at Fred Meyer, but I dont know if that store is everywhere or just local. They just started carrying it so check around!

Goes great with the regimen, and I am definitly going to keep using this face wash!

Pros:

LOVE the way this feels on my skin- no residue, doesn't over dry, but makes skin feel CLEAN, large size, don't need excessive amounts of the stuff.

Cons:

Use very little, otherwise, it can dry your skin out. Otherwise, nothing.

I love this stuff. Found it in Stop&Shop, and will def be using this from now on. I used to use Clean and Clear, which made my skin tingle, but that was about it. Instead of using globs of stuff, a little on the tip of your forefinger is all you need, and your face will thank you.

Pros:

Digs up deep acne
Freshness feeling after usage
Leaves parts of skin soft

Cons:

DOESN'T get rid of acne it pulls up
Leaves skin tight feeling
Not very effective
Skin gets VERY dry

It works, yeah, to dig up acne but then it doesn't do anything to help get rid of it. It left my cheeks soft but also left little bumps on my cheeks. Made my nose even more oily.

Pros:

-Removes makeup
-Leaves you with a great clean feeling
-Lathers well
-Gentle
-No harsh ingredients

Cons:

-It can leave your face slightly dry if you don't moisturize regularly
-Doesn't specifically say "non-comedegnic"

FYI: you can buy this at Bed Bath & Beyond and Ulta. I've used this facewash for about 3 years now and love it. I just realized however that it does leave my face slightly dry, but I haven't been using a moisturizer after so that may be the key. I just bought Cetaphil gentle cleanser and love the way that one leaves my face moisturized, but it doesn't seem to remove my makeup well. I may try using Cetaphil in the morning and then Basis at night to remove my makeup and then follow up with a great moisturizer.
