This product is AMAZING!!! I absolutely love it! I had been struggling with acne on my forehead for months and months and this combined with Clindoxyl Gel and Differin XP, completely cleared my skin, I haven`t had any acne problems since I started using it about 4 months ago. :)

Pros:

- doesn't dry out skin
- prevents breakouts
- washes away dirt and makeup

The best everyday gentle skin cleanser out there! I have even used to use cetaphil then switched to this and have been using it for over 2 years. I would not recommend this product for severe acne as it is too gentle. For those who are complaining about blackheads, the only way to remove/prevent them is to get facials and use a SCRUB to exfoliate and prevent oil build-up!

Pros:

works great for small blemishes
gets rid of acne in quick time period
easy to use
not time consuming
cheap

Cons:

does smell a bit
doesb't help blackheads
makes skin red (occasionally)

This does work, however if you want to get rid of blackheads, i suggest something else. in the colder seasons, it tends to irritate my skin. if you have sensitive skin, try the dry skin formula in the colder seasons to aviod redness.

Pros:

Great Price
Gentle
helps with break outs
No Parabens
No Sls

Cons:

Does smell a bit
need to change between seasons (like blemish prone in summer, combo or dry for winter)

I used Spectro Jel September last year with the moisturizer, then after I finished about 5 months later, I decided to try different products... I BROKE OUT (I'm almost 40), even with Cetaphil. Needless to say I just bought Spectro Jel with a bonus Cream pack at Walmart (very very good price). I tired EVERYTHING from the very expensive name brands, to organic and Spectro Jel is always a return favourite.

Pros:

cheap
works
cleans face
doesn't strip face
protects skin
no harsh chemicals
clears skin in days

Cons:

absolutely no cons. it's risk free so try it.

People with moderate-severe acne should not be compaining that this product didn't work for them because it's not supposed to treat acne.It's for people with a small amount of pimples. IF YOU HAVE ACNE USE THE ORANGE BOTTLE NOT THE PURPLE ONE.

Pros:

Gentle
Cheap

Cons:

Doesn't help acne
Smells kind of weird

I have used spectro gel for months now, and have not seen an improvement in my acne, which was greatly dissapointing due to the number of good review on here. I use the purple bottle, and gently cleanse my skin with it for 30 seconds twice a day, and it has done nothing. Granted, the results could've been worse, as it could've harmed my skin.

Pros:

- extremely gentle
- no oils
- noncomedogenic
- fragrence free
- no alcohol
- clear gel base
- big bottle, cheap price

Cons:

- cant be used as shaving cream
- could exfoliate better

everything you look for in a cleanser except it may be slightly TOO gentle as exfoliation of flakes it is not very good at. and it doesnt work as a shaving creme. but its super gentle, oil free and wont clog pores, no alcohol, gel base, big pump bottle for a good price. Canadian made product from a dermotologist recommended brand. they also come in a DRY skin formula which i may try next to battle the skin flakes.

Pros:

Cleared my face in two days
Not harmful to the skin
Does not dry skin
Feels great putting it on
Does not foam so its hard to get into your eyes
unscented

Cons:

Could not find any flaws with this product

I've been using this product for about a week and I have seen only positive results with my face. My acne was cleared and stays cleared. It doesn't have any harmful chemicals in it. My face doesn't get dried from it.I will deffinently be repurchasing this cleanser. It is a miracle wash. I LOVE IT. PS: I was using the facial cleanser - blemish prone skin unscented

Pros:

Moisturizing, my face did not get dry and flaky.

Cons:

Made little red dots pop up on my face within a couple days, made my pores look huge, filled up, and more pronounced.

This is pretty awful. I have super, super sensitive dry skin, and this really didn't work for me.
