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.
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
None
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
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!
inexpensive
worsened my acne
This is a really good cleanser, because it is so gentle on your skin, yet it cleans away all the dirt and oil without overdrying. Leaves my skin soft and smooth. The smell itself does not reall bother me.
Did not actually help me with clearing my breakouts, but I don't find that a problem, because Dan's BP does the job fine in clearing up my skin.
AMAZING! it makes my skin soft, and mostly acne free. its super cheap compared to the stuff i was using
nothing
I've tired tons and tons of face cleansers, I don't have acne, but I do get pimples and this is the only product that actually works. Yeah I still get pimples from time to time, however my face is clear most of the time.
It's kind of pricey, however lasts for a couple months so I guess it's worth it in the end.
The perfect cleanser...seroisuly
only in canada
pricey
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
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.
My skin has been clearing up since the first day of using it! My skin does not go dry at all.
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!
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.
