Pros:

It cleans well, doesn't overdry, and smells pretty awesome. It is very cheap and the bottle is huge. I've used it for two months and there is stillm plenty left. Not much more you can ask for.

Cons:

None

At first, I thought it was overdrying. But, wanting to get my money's worth, I gave it a chance and now like it the best. It is very gentle and has an amazing lather. However, I am not a fan of using soap for shaving; gels make for a much closer, easier shave.

Pros:

Very good lather, cleans well, rinses clean, cheap

Cons:

very drying, especially around the mouth; smells bad, but the smell rinses off

This product is worth it because it cleans well, but it is definently overdrying. That's not as big a problem as it sounds, though, because that's what moisturizer is for. I think that he could improve the formula, though, for that reason. Also, it turned out to be better for shaving than I thought it would be.

Best cleanser
This is the best cleanser I've used ever! This cleanser and the treatment together has literally been a life saver and if nothing else is working for your skin then definitely give the 3 step regimen a shot because it will help if you follow the directions exactly how they say too. Take it from someone who has been fighting acne since I was 14 and now 31 and tried everything under the sun even home made remedies,this stuff will definitely improve your skin if followed correctly.

Good, but would not repurchase
It's a pretty good gentle cleanser that can remove makeup, but the preservatives used in the cleanser are carcinogenic and extremely dangerous for the skin in the long haul. If I had checked the ingredients before purchasing I would not have bought it, but I was swayed by its affordability. After I finish my bottle I'm not going to repurchase. If the company considers switching out the preservative in the cleanser to a more gentle preservative like sodium benzoate, I would give it a second chance. But I'm not that familiar with the pricing of skincare ingredients though, so it might significantly up the price.

I had a terrible reaction to the preservative (quaternium-15) that is found in this cleanser. It took me months to figure out what was causing my eyelids to become red, itchy and scaly. This company definitely needs to reformulate this product!

Best Thing For My Skin
PROS: I have been using the regimen for about 3 years now. It is honestly the best thing that ever happened to my skin. I suffered from bad acne all my teenage/early adult life. I even tried Accutane, but my acne came back even stronger about 6 months after my treatment ended. This is the only thing that has ever gotten rid of acne 99.9% for me. I use this every day and buy it about twice a year. CONS: If I stop using the product I break out almost immediately. If I don't use the regimen exactly as directed (face wash, treatment,moisturizer) it does not seem to work as well and I start to see small breakouts around my jawline/forehead. Overall, if you struggle with acne I recommend you buy small bottles and see if this is good for your skin type. I remember it drying my skin at first, and the moisturizer feeling extremely heavy and greasy. My skin has gotten used to the products by now and I find that the moisturizer is not that bad if you allow enough time for it to dry/evaporate/sink in.

Too Early
It's probably WAY too early for me to decipher whether or not this is a good product after only two days of use, but I can say that I'm really impressed by how strong, yet gentle it is. The acne.org regimen recommends that you use two pumps and gently work the skin for up to 10 seconds, which seemed really weird to me - especially coming from the St. Ives Grapefruit scrub cleanser that would sometimes take me not one, but two rinses before my face was totally clean and makeup free! Still, I'm following the regimen, and after 10 seconds of gently working two pumps of product on my face, the skin is CLEAN!! All makeup - concealer, powder, blush, bronzer, mascara, shadow, EVERYTHING - GONE!!! LOL!!!! Very very impressive to me, and it proves that its possible to not have to irritate my skin with anything harsh or abrasive in order to get the results I'm looking for - clean, fresh skin. Love that.

Great Cleanser Mostly Natural W/ Panthenol

Pros:

Mostly natural
fragrance free
Contains Panthenol

Cons:

Not 100% Natural
Doesn't come in a 32 oz

I am a huge fan of natural care products. Although this isn't 100% chem free, it does come really close. I've used numerous products and this tops them for soap. I'm not a huge fan of BP because I love the sun, but I see myself ordering the cleanser for life.

Pros:

I've been working at a buffet 10-12 hours a day for 5 days a week. Sometimes I get lazy of forget to use this cleanser and my faces itches, but right after I use it, the itchiness goes away and my face feels like a bunch of grease and dirt were lifted off my skin. I feel clean and look much better after using it. I tried neutrogena facewash, but it left my face feeling extremely dry straight after. This product saves me from facial disaster after a day of pollution & bacteria in the environment

Cons:

Have to order online

It makes you feel clean, but does not dry out your skin as bad as other products. Right after using it, you will feel much better after a long day at work.
