Pros:

1)ingredients are kept to a minimum
2)pump system easy to use and dispense
3)does not irritate my sensitive skin

Cons:

1)smell (i got used to it eventually and i cannot describe it anymore because my nose is so used to it; but initially, i thought the smell was weird.
2)i have to ship it from Canada since nowhere sells it - thus making it freaking expensive

It does not help to prevent acne. That is the job of medications, not the cleanser. But that being said, I have used it for over a year because it helps to calm my skin (or rather, not aggravate it). In the past, my face used to get itchy and red throughout the day, but that has since died down with daily once-a-day wash with this cleanser. I feel a bit annoyed that I have to ship this normal drugstore cleanser over. So I may try to replace it eventually with something similar, maybe Dove (gentle, no?). If that irritates me, then I'll have no choice but to go back to ordering this!

Pros:

The soap fee, perume free combination version is fantastic. My sensitive, slightly greasy skin has always been a problem. It loves this product. I use Panoxyl for any zits, not that I have had any since using this product. A Miracle!

Cons:

none

Fantastic product. My skin is so happy now. I tried every product on the market since I was 20 years old and struggled to keep my face from being irritated or breaking out. This is the absolute best. Gentle, but cleans well and leaves skin soft.

Pros:

no fragrance,non-irritating,non-drying, agrees with just about everyone

Cons:

doesn't lather up that's the only thing i can think of

Let me tell you i've used every product on the market to wash my face. and the best thing i could have ever done was buy this product. PEOPLE!! you will notice results guaranteed! *** you must message it into your skin for 30seconds atleast**** and Girls it does remove make-up. unless you wear Theatre make-up. trust me you'll thank yourself for it. if your on acne medication of any kind your already suffering with the side effects . why make it worst by drying out your skin further. please try it!!!!!!!

Pros:

I'm reviewing the purple spectrojel.

It's amazing at cleansing, and doesnt irritate sensitive skin at all, it's best to be used in the shower washing off with *HOT* water. All in all, it helps dry up pimples without irritating sensitive skin.

Cons:

None that I've experienced

Spectrojel is the only thing that helped clear up my sensitive skin. Now my regimen is as simple as Spectrojel in morning/night and 5% BP on spots.

Pros:

Cleans skin very well. Non-drying. Very gentle. Fragrance free and soap-free.

Cons:

Doesn't lather. Does not prevent acne on its own.

I have tried a variety of cleansers and nothing has given me consistent results, where I didn't have new breakouts for a stretch of one week. I started using Spectrojel (a friend recommended it) in conjunction with my usual OTC, topical acne medication. The results have been fantastic and immediate. I've been breakout free for two weeks now. I don't think Spectr0jel cures acne on it's own, but as most topical acne medication is drying and damaging, using Spectrojel has helped enormously. I have been washing my face twice a day with Spectrojel and applying samll amounts topical acne med all over my face. This technique is working very well.

Pros:

it is gentle, yet effective and never irritating

Cons:

it does not take off makeup without the help of a gentle washcloth or sponge

It is a wonderful product for those who use topical acne medications because it is completely non irritating (fragrance free, soap free and all the rest). My skin has completely transformed since I realized that super harsh and drying cleansers marketed as 'acne wash' were doing more harm than good and I switched to this much gentler option.

Pros:

EVERYTHING.

Cons:

Nothing.

This cleanser is bar-none the best one I have ever used, even better than Cetaphil. 100% will always use this product from now on. Plus it is also skin PH balanced. I buy the one that is Soap-free AND fragance free....the fragrance free is a huge plus..as that can usually be irritating.

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:

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. :)
