Pros:

none

Cons:

This cleanser gives me cystic acne

my skin will be not perfect but alright to handle, and if I use this cleanser, i will constantly break out in cysts. When i quit using it they subside. Definitely the cause.

Pros:

none

Cons:

made my skin look worse, had to wash my face more often because it always felt dirty.

after a week of using this product i found that my face broke out even worse and i also had to wash my face more frequently. Before using this product my condition was managable now it has gotten out of control.

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:

Nothing really...

Cons:

At first, it smells like glue.
Ineffective and a bit expensive.
Broke me out a lot more.

I have been using spectro jel religiously (twice a day, 30 seconds) due to the rave reviews I have seen on various websites. Initially, it smells a bit like glue, but you'll get used to it I have been using Cetaphil Sensitive Skin before I started using this, and I had no pimples whatsoever on my cheeks. After couple of weeks after SJ, my cheeks gradually broke out more and more. This continued to the point where I could just not take it anymore due to scarring, so I switched back to Cetaphil, and my face cleared within couple of days. This may work on some skin types, but in my case, it clearly did not.

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.
