Pros:

- Gentle
- Non-irritating
- SLS- and paraben-free
- No fragrance or dye
- Doesn't dry out your skin

Cons:

- Doesn't exfoliate and doesn't remove all make-up

All the soaps I've tried in the past have done more harm for my skin than good; they dried out my skin, irritated it with harsh chemicals, etc. Spectro doesn't clean the surface of my skin as well as other soaps did, but it does prevent my pores from getting clogged, and more importantly it protects my skin's natural moisture, so my skin doesn't get flaky and start breaking out afterward. If you're looking for a gentle cleanser, I strongly recommend this product.

Pros:

Very gentle
it leaves skin very smooth and nice feeling

Cons:

the smell is kind of funny at first but you get used to it so fast it smells like nothing later on

okay so i had mild to moderate acne for at least 3 years and things were getting worse and worse since my pimples were growing faster than my red spots were fading but ever since i started using a cleanser like Spectrojel i only get 1 pimple every 2 weeks and the pimples that i get now are so small that it doesn't even matter anymore it looks like clear skin almost

Works Well but Does Not Remove Makeup
This cleanser is a pretty good product! It has a really nice feel on the skin; light and cool. It's very gentle, so it would be great for someone with sensitive or easily irritated skin. I applied it when my skin was dry and rinsed it off with warm water. The only downside is that it does not remove makeup, so if this is your sole cleanser, any foundation/concealer/powder etc. is not effectively removed, and this can cause or worsen acne. As long as you pair this with a makeup remover or makeup-removing wipes, you shouldn't have any problems!

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.

Pros:

Gentle
Clears acne
Doesn't dry out skin

Cons:

Doesn't exfoliate

Spectro has saved my skin on many occasions, i love it. The only thing is that it doesn't exfoliate or get into the pores as much as other cleansers so I use a sephora scrubbing brush with it a few days a week and it cleared my acne up perfectly. Its perfect for using with Retin-A or other perscription medication for acne. Be patient with it

Pros:

- very gentle
- will not dry skin or make it tight
- non-irritating
- fragrance free
- definitely will not make acne any worse or lead to clogged pores
- cleans face

Cons:

- doesn't foam (this isn't really a con, but I know it bothers some people)
- doesn't do much to remove dead skin or makeup
- does not fight acne on its own

I've been using this cleanser for two years now. I've tried switching to other things but keep coming back to this because it is a genuinely good cleanser. The only thing that bothers me is that if you're using benzoyl peroxide and dead skin tends to accumulate on your face, this will not remove it at all. It also doesn't remove makeup. It removes surface oil but that's about it - which is probably a good thing, since it means it isn't being harsh, but sometimes a little more is wanted through cleansing...overall a good cleanser though.

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:

Works very well! Clears up oily skin and acne

Cons:

It smells a bit like alcohol?

I've used this product for many years...10+ years. During my teenage years, I've had moderate acne here and there. Picking it and there every so often, leaving scars etc. Went to the doctor and he provided me with a sample bottle of SpectroJel. Within couple days, my skin started getting redder and all that. Someone told me it was shedding the oils inside my skin. I continued using the product and after another week, my skin had improved drastically! Pretty much within 3 weeks of using the product, my skin cleared up. Over the years I have switched to other products since my skin was no longer that oily. However I would have the occasional breakout. I am back on SpectroJel and my skin has been great. Family and friends have actually commented on how much better my skin has been after switching back One tip: Gently rub all over your face for a MINIMUM of 30 seconds. I can feel oil being lifted out of the pores after a long night out and it feels damn good!

Pros:

Smell is capable to deal with, its clear, good amount in the bottle specially for the price, makes my skin feel smooth, got rid of a lot of my acne.

Cons:

I don't really have any.. the bottle is pretty ugly lol but.. that has nothing to do with the product itself..

It's great ive been using it for 3 years, my acne has gone down quiete a bit, it used to be very severe. I now get complimented on how clear my skin is. Easy to use, easy to find, lots too choose from, and it's very affordable!
