Pros:

keeps skin extremely soft
gets rid of acne
makes skin glow

Cons:

none

Everything else I used made my skin extremely flaky and dry. After one month of usage, my acne went from moderate to COMPLETELY gone. I will never use anything else but this.

Pros:

LOVE THIS! I started using this about three years ago, and everytime I try something else I always come back to this because everything else it too drying! If you look at the ingredients, they are all non irritating and there are no unnecessary extra ingredients like fragrance or exotic sounding plant extracts that really do very little. I find it works best if you splash your face with water, pat it so it is just damp then gently rub the cleanser in circular motions for 30 sec to 1 minute.

Cons:

For us gals who use foundation: it is not a strong enough cleanser to remove makeup. Unfortunately, cleansers which effectively remove makeup are also quite harsh (in my experiences). I am one of those people who will NOT leave the house without foundation, so what I do is use a bit of Neutrogena's Makeup Removing Cleansing Lotion (also a gentle product) and wipe off with a tissue before using Spectro.

The bottom line is, the pros without a doubt outweigh the con of not being a makeup remover. It is excellent at cleansing "naked" skin while maintaining the moisture in the stratum corneum (top layer of skin). Oh, I use the stuff with the purple label for sensitive and blemish prone skin.

Pros:

I have used Spectro jel for over 13 years now. I live in LA and I get my family members to bring some every time they come to visit. I have never experienced bad acne, but I only have mild breakouts when I run out of Spector jel, so it works for me...and I always get compliments on my skin

Cons:

None

Awesome product

Pros:

skin smoothing, really cleans even though it doesn't feel like it is, doesnt make face dry and tight, clearing up my face nicely from a few months of bad breakouts

Cons:

doesnt have that FEEELING of cleaning the face that lathering facial cleansers give, but I guess that's just a personal opinion. Lathering cleansers are too drying for me anyway, but i like howthey feel while im cleansing!

not a facny bottle or expensive it's just a great cleanser that works!! for acne or oily or dry or whatever! try it! won't hurt while others might actually!

Pros:

I love spectro jel. Good price (half a liter for 11.49 at the grocery store), lasts for months.
Can't imagine a cleanser working better. I like that it's a gel, applies well. I use the combo skin one (orange bottle). Definite reduction in breakout

Cons:

None really, the smell is strange but I don't find it bad I almost like it. On the bottle it says that you can wipe it off with a tissue if you want, but I wouldn't suggest not washing it off.

Try it if you live in Canada.

Pros:

It really does work and does not dry out the skin but moisturises! Comes in a big bottle so you can use it for a long time and get your money's worth.

Cons:

The fragrence, maybe but if you want clear skin, you gotta make a sacrifise

Works really well! I have been using this for a while now and it really helped my breakouts. If you wash at night, you will most likely wake up with clearer skin.

Pros:

After just two days of using it my skin felt baby soft
Its so cheap to buy and so far doing way better than anything else ive bought!

Cons:

The smell is a little funky ( but only at first doesnt smell on the skin)

My skin is already feeling softer,smoother and clearer after a couple days! It is a good price and so worth it! (Purple Sensitive problem prone skin)

Pros:

it's gentle, it comes in a huge, inexpensive pump bottle, it helped clear my acne!

Cons:

you may need some trial and error to find the one that's right for you. The SpectroDerm did not work as well as Spectro Jel Oily Skin. Also you need to work it in a little

I use SpectroDerm to clean my tattoos when they are healing. I ran out of my normal cleanser one day (just one of those random noxema ones.. i was always changing never bought the same stuff twice because i didnt like em) so i decided to use that to clean my face til i had a chance to run to the store. I really liked it, and when i bought the one for oily skin it worked even better! But face is usually oily all day no matter what but now it stays mat all day! It works best if you rinse your face with really warm/hot water for a couple of splashes, then the jel for 30-45 sec, gently massage, rinse thoroughly, then rinse with really cold water. my regimen: Avene Make Up remover ... but instead of rubbing off i wash it off SpectroJel witch hazel 2.5% bp as spot treatment only (but im pretty clear now vichy mattifying moisteriser for sensitive skin

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. :)
