Pros:

Available in a variety of strengths (I like the original, purple bottle, but Spectro Derm is great for sensitive skin) Unscented, non-irritating, non drying, widely available in Canada, affordable, available in bulk.Also, it`s completely soap-free.

Cons:

Non-foaming gel texture takes some getting used-to. Needs to be massaged into skin for 30 seconds minimum. Doesn`t remove thick or waterproof make-up ( I`m speaking from experience here)

Spectro gel SAVED my life when I started using it nearly 12 years ago. Before then, I was so desperate for clear skin that I was washing my face with baking soda TOOTHPASTE in an attempt to dry out my pimples, with disastrous results (flaming red, flaky, burning skin plus the pimples, of course) Over the years, I have occasionaly strayed to other products that had flashier packaging or just to change things up, but none of these products can hold a candle to original, unscented Spectro gel. My skin isn`t perfect, but it`s as close to perfect as *my* skin can get. I`ve heard that dermatologists often recommend Spectro gel during and after Accutane treatment, as well.

The most effective cleanser I've ever used.
This is by far the best and most effective cleanser I've ever used. I definitely recommend you buy this if you have light acne like me.

Pros:

My skin has been clearing up since the first day of using it! My skin does not go dry at all.

Cons:

The fragrance is terrible smelling but the results are well worth it. The major con about this is waiting for my skin to be completely clear, can't wait!

I have been using the Sensitive line of the cleanser and moisturizer and I have to say that I am completely impressed with the results that I am seeing. Their product line is a little pricey but well worth it. If you have sensitive skin and are willing to spend some money, try Spectro Jel and you may just end up with clear and smooth skin.

Pros:

gentle and cheap

Cons:

it doesn't work anymore

When I first started using this, my skin was amazing, well back then my skin rarely broke out. Now my skin's more acne prone an I feel like it's doing nothing! Plus the smell isn't bad after a while, you won't notice it.

Pros:

It does amazing things for my skin. It doesn't strip it where other cleansers do, it moisturizes without causing breakouts, it leaves my skin UNBELIEVABLY smooth after washing... I love this stuff.

Cons:

It is extremely expensive to get it shipped to me from Canada, but no cons for the product itself.

I think this will be a life-long trail. :)

Pros:

- no harmful soaps, drying ingredients, or irritating fragrances
- feels good on skin and cleans well, but doesn't leave it all dry and is very gentle -you can wipe it off with a tissue, and use it anywhere, not just your face
- affordable

Cons:

- smells bad, but it's good for my skin without fragrance that way
- doesn't lather, have to continuously massage into skin

This is the best cleanser, that doesn't make my skin feel dry! It keeps my skin clean and hydrated. The best part is no sodium, fragrance or soap to irritate my skin. I am using the one for oily skin, and it works great with my prescription acne creams. It is cheaper than Cetaphil and works a lot better.

Pros:

none

Cons:

made my skin look worse, had to wash my face more often because it always felt dirty.

after a week of using this product i found that my face broke out even worse and i also had to wash my face more frequently. Before using this product my condition was managable now it has gotten out of control.

Pros:

cured my perioral dermititis
didnt have to use antibiotics
scent free
easy to use
doesnt burn
affordable
gentle

Cons:

none

I was diagnosed with perioral dermatitis. It burned, was itchy and embarrassing. My doctor prescribed me minocycline 2x a day for 14 days then once a day for 7 weeks. I took it for 2 days thats it! I felt stoned, nauseous and very irritable. I searched the web & one person stated she tried Spectro Jel.. I went & purchased it immediately. That night i washed my face with it then applied a thin layer over the worst areas & left it overnight. OMG! in the morning my skin was cleared and the blisters were gone. I definitely recommend this product it's amazing!
