Pros:

I have been using the cleanser along with the treatment, lotion, and (occasionally) the AHA lotion from acne.org and have found it to be the ONLY topical regimen that has worked for me (and I've tried nearly EVERYTHING). I noticed a difference within the first week, and it's only gotten better from there. My skin is now 99% clear, and I'm just waiting for the remaining red marks to clear!

Cons:

You have to order it online and pay shipping, but it's worth it.

TRY IT! It's awesome. I love life so much more without acne!!!

Pros:

Keeps your face dirty, That's if you like that look

Cons:

Doesn't CLEAN YOUR FACE AT ALL

This cleanser smells really bad even though its fragrance free I guess, The smell is intolerable trust me I am quite resistant but this smell I could not handle. The main problem is it does not clean at all. I mean you don't feel clean, I understand that its meant not to strip your face but come on we need to feel somewhat clean. Sorry but skip this regular soap is better than this. Not a quality product you really do get what you pay for. Try some other fragrance free cleanser I can guarantee it will be better than this. Also all of Dan's products don't work well for me, I have oily/combo acne prone skin and I'm male. Dan's recommendations don't really help either since they are some cheap drugstore products, department store products keep my skin looking better than anything else though I will admit I could be clearer. Skip everything on this site and buy quality department store products only because they ARE BETTER THAN THESE.

Pros:

This cleanser is very light and you do not need to use as much as other cleansers. I use to wash my face with cleansers only once a day because they always dried out my skin. With this cleanser I am able to wash both morning and night without irritation or dryness. I love it! My skin feels fresh and clean afterwards. My skin is sensitive and breaks out easily. This cleanser, in just a weeks time, has cleared up my skin completely and my face looks so clean!!

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a gentle cleanser. I like that the smell is not strong and you only have to apply a small amount to get a great outcome!

Pros:

Cleans like it says it will, doesn't irritate the skin, doesn't contain fragrance or other comedogenic ingredients like many cleansers out there.

Cons:

It's a little drying, so use with a moisturizer or moisturizing oil.

Really like this cleanser, love the ingredients and the cost, but four smilies only because I can find other cleansers I like almost as much as this one (which isn't true of the other two regimen products made by Dan).

Pros:

cleans well
big bottle that lasts long
great lather

I read a lot of reviews stating that this overdries skin. I think the key really is with this is to adjust how much you use based on your skin type - if oily use more, if dry use less. I have combo skin and i use half a pump or a little less depending on the day, lather really well in hands and rub gently for 10-15 seconds, and my skin is never dry. I recommend this cleanser to all skin types.

Pros:

- Super gentle
- I like the smell. It's weird. But I like it. ;) Some say it's unscented- but I definitely smell something.
- The bottle is cute. :)

Cons:

Because of it's consistency it tends to run down my arms when I'm washing my face in the sink. But I'm just kinda messy like that. ha

Cetaphil didn't give me this problem, but this cleanser is just a better cleanser so I deal with that tiny tiny inconvenience. Sounds silly to even mention, really.

It's super gentle and great for pretty much any skin type! I always feel clean once I wash it off. It's not SO gentle that it doesn't clean your face! I used to use Cetaphil, but I definitely prefer this cleanser. If I was in a crunch and unable to order this from acne.org in time, I'd probably try Purpose Cleanser. I heard it's super gentle just like this cleanser. :) Bottom line- if you're ordering off acne.org anyway you may as well give this a try. And the big bottle is only a few bucks more than the smaller bottle. If you are looking for JUST a cleanser, then you could probably try something like Purpose from a drugstore and save yourself the hassle of ordering off the internet. Unless you really love the acne.org bottles like I do.... I am sort of a nerd like that.

Pros:

cleans well, removes dirt and grime, nice and foamy, excellent for shaving, scentless, and makes your face feel clean and refreshed

Cons:

a bit too drying for my skin, really dries out the area around my eyes (had to buy an eye cream and serum to keep it from flaking) i also looked pretty ragged and aged with only a week of use, and i was quite happy until someone pointed out that my eyes looked incredibly worn out that i noticed and really looked in the mirror. i switched to cetaphil's gentle cleanser, and it has kept my skin much less dry before applying a moisturizer.

for me, it was good at cleaning out everything but much too dry. i would recommend it to people with oily skin, but for me it was much too drying and when combined with BP and the moisturizer (not powerful enough if used with this) it compounded the effects and left my skin extra extra dry and really made my eye area uncomfortably dry. i only recommend this for people who have oily skin and need something stronger than cetaphil's gentle cleanser to clean with, because cetaphil's cleanser is recommended by my dermotologist/uncle, and really it does as little damage as possible to your skin and frankly not everyone can take a cleanser this dry, so it really depends on how your previous experience with cleansers have been. if you normally gravitate towards gentle cleansers in drugstores, then definitely try cetaphil's cleanser. if your skin is ok with stronger cleansers, give this a try, it's great value for a good product. i just wasn't part of the demographic this product was made for. i do love a lot of the other acne.org products though. 4 smiley potatoes only because it wasn't as perfect as the other products. i would give 4.9 smiley potatoes if i could.
