Pros:

gentle cleanser
good for sensitive skin or if you are using prescription topicals

Cons:

doesn't actually treat breakouts

I have been using this for a few months because I use strong prescription topical treatments and using medicated cleansers in addition to those made my skin very dry and irritated. This is a much more gentle solution, and while it doesn't do anything to improve your skin, it will not hurt it either if you are using other methods of treatment. Takes off all of my makeup, smells nice and makes my skin feel soft. Don't use it expecting it to make your skin clear on its own, it's just part of a larger treatment plan.

Pros:

- cleans your face
- draws up the pimples from under you skin
- helps lighten complexion and fade scars somewhat

Cons:

- dries out skin

This is a wonderful product. I've been using it daily in the shower for about 2 weeks and my acne has cleared up drastically. It drew the impurities out of my skin the first use and in correlation with a 10% BP, I have never seen my skin look this clear in years! My scars are fading quickly and I only have a few pimples on my chin. I believe that after a month I will be completely clear. This is not a miracle product and will not work alone, in my opinion. I have used everything and I cannot believe that clearing my acne was just this simple. I remember my doctor recommended this to me 6 years ago but it was working too slow so I gave up and started Pro-Activ. WORST decision of my life! I'm so happy I've grown more patient, for it was well worth it.

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.

Pros:

smells nice, feels nice, gentle "botanicals", seems like a nice idea.

Cons:

really doesn't do a thing. I couldn't find it in drugstores and hopped on [link removed] to buy it, but it definitely was not worth the hassle.

not worth it, at all. don't waste your time.

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.
