Pros:

Works!

Cons:

none

It cleans well, without irritating. Exactly what it's supposed to do. Yes, it leaves your skin dry, but that's why you have the moisturizer! I wish it was available in stores so we wouldn't have to pay shipping.

Pros:

Huge size. Very cleansing. A little bit moisturizing. Crazy lather. Nice packaging. Gets rid of excess oils and dirt. Non-irritating. pH Balanced.

Cons:

Shipping costs. Not in-stores. Has a little smell, but washes away.

I love this cleanser. It doesn't over dry. Trust me, I have used lots of cleansers out there and this is the only one that cleans well and doesn't over dry. The shipping cost a lot but it's a huge bottle and will last a long time. 9/10.

Pros:

Good lather. No parabens, SLS, dyes or fragrance. Big bottle.

Cons:

Irritating ingredients. Awful smell (not unscented, caused by the extracts). Drying. Caused more breakouts.

I was excited to try this, but as each day went on my skin got dried and more irritated. There are a few red-flag ingredients in this cleanser (propylene glycol, quaternium-15) which are probably causing me to break out. Another negative is the smell. It smells very much like a bitter lemon (this is because of the plant extracts). Overall, I can't recommend it. There are better cleansers out there like Spectro Jel (purple bottle) or Olay for Sensitive Skin.

Pros:

Does not overdry, comes off easily, and large bottle lasts a while.

Cons:

Wish it was boxed better with cushions.

I'm hooked on it. I use it 2-3 times a day (one pump), and in the shower (I have very oily skin). Does not do anything to clear the acne or scars, but I use it to clean oil/bacteria buildup on my face before I apply any medication like BP or egg yolk.

Pros:

Good Value
Non Perfumed

Cons:

Slight Over Drying
Gave Me more spots

I never believed that Face wash was a real essential part of the regimen until trying out this one.It does represent good value for money and doesn't smell of horrible perfumes that so many cleansers do these days. However thats where the likability stoped for me. I found it over dried ever so slightly but on the other hand i have always found that this is more than often the case. Having used it for 6 weeks I can safely say that this cleanser isnt suited to my skin type - which happens to be normal. I was clear for about a year using st ives facial scrub and simple moisturizer. For some reason I decided to change to this cleanser and that turned out to be a big mistake. By all means try it, however if your skin is clear then don't bother.

Pros:

Cheaper than other products I've tried and liked the idea of a larger sized container.

Cons:

Cheaper than other products I've tried but unfortunately made my skin worse as opposed to better. Tried it as a cheaper option to Pro Activ but my skin seriously broke out in lots of little pimply bumps. Not sure why as it has essentially the same in

My skin didn't like it!

Gentle Cleanser
Great product. After having a bad reaction to all the rest of the Acne.org products (see my gallery) this is the only product I continue to use. I have very sensitive skin and this is gentle enough for me.

There are very irritating greens and his cleanser. If you find that your pores and being it's because your skin is being irritated. Stop using it

@Leahh0805 yes it's ok to use it in neck area too. I do and I don't have any bad reaction yet, But it may vary on skin types. While ago I used to use diff cleanser given by my dermatologist and it irritated my neck area like hell, I had all these blisters like I got hikies. So just try give a try and see.

Leahh u never wash your neck? That's strange, just as other body part it should get washed too... I had acne in down my chin next to neck and i used acne treatment retin to get over, yea it's sensitive than other area so if your skin gets irritated then just use it in the spot where acne is, don't rub all over, and don't use it everyday! Do like 3 times a week for like couple weeks and after that you can do every other day. Make sure you use moisturizer since it overcome dryness which helps with skin irritation.
