Pros:

Good amount for your money, unscented, very gentle

Cons:

Not available in stores, so you have to pay for shipping

OK value, but I don't see a real difference between Dan Kern's cleanser and Cetaphil (or its generic counterparts).

Pros:

Amazing, makes my face feel so clean, never felt better. I feel like my day doesn't start until I use this. and the bottle is huge, last me for months!

Cons:

Nothing, its amazing!

This product is great, make sure to wash your face quick like Dan says in the regimen. If used correctly it will change your face forever. I never stick to using products and this one I never forget. I always use it in combination with the benzoyl peroxide gel. Thanks Dan, please never leave us or change these great prices!

Pros:

Feels great, washes off great, cost effective, and doesn't overdry skin

Cons:

Shipping cost is high, so buy in bulk

I've practically used almost every big brand line cleanser out there over the past many many many years. I just got it in the mail. I was pleasantly surprised with the exceptional tube, packaging, and the versatility of the options (the squirt tube, or the regular bottle cap option). I love the color too! Baby Blueish.. Awesome. I immediately used it, as it came just before my evening shower. I poured a bit into my hand, and it lathered really well for a gel based cleanser. It took exactly 5 days, pretty good! It didn't over dry at ALL! Not a single dab, and it felt so good to my skin, and non irritative. It washed off clean, no residue. I got out and no dry or tight feeling at all. Dan really hit a home run. After years and years of cleansers, I finally found something even better than my oil of olay foaming cleanser for gentle skin! So for the people that are waiting to order it, don't wait, do it! It'll be the best product you've tried in a long time!!

Pros:

It is fragrance free and doesn't irritate my skin. It leaves my skin smooth and soft.

Cons:

It takes a lot of rinsing to get it all off.

It's a great product that worked really well for me. I'm still using my first bottle - for about three months now.

Pros:

Works great, huge size, easy to dispense, cheap (for the size).

Cons:

Takes a lot of rinsing to get it all off. Expensive to ship by itself (cheaper if you pick up a couple of Dan's BP Gel tubes at the same time).

Has worked wonderfully for me once I figured out how to rinse it off without irritating my skin. I use 1 1/2 pumps, lather it up on both hands, and then splash a bit of water on one hand to thin the stuff out, lather more, and apply. The best way to rinse I've found is indirectly. Just let the water run down your head and (extremely gently!) rub a your face with just the slightest touch of your fingers and palm. After a few seconds you'll feel your face go from slick to definitivly squeaky clean. Repeat for any places your gentle touch doesn't get the first time (around nose, under jaw, edges of face, etc.), remembering to just *barely* touch. I use Dan's Gel and Oil Of Olay Sensitive Moisture Therapy. After a few months of ramping up the BP, my acne is practically completely gone.

Pros:

This is an excellent wash. It is gentle and lasts a long time. Nice scent that may take some getting used to at first.

Cons:

I don't like it for shaving, but then again I don't like any wash for shaving. I prefer a good gel like edge.

At first, I thought this was a tad overdrying, but what cleanser isn't? Then I figured out that I wasn't getting nearly adequate moisturization. After getting used to it, I found this product to be the least overdrying of everything. Shipping was a little expensive, but the big bottle lasts forever, so it is much cheaper in the long run. This is good enough for me to reorder.

Pros:

very gentle on my skin, lathers nicely, inexpensive, animal- and earth-friendly, unscented.

Cons:

none at all!

i used proactiv for 6 months, and in the last month developed an allergy to it. at 32 y.o., i had the worst skin of my life. desperate, i found acne.org and decided to give dan kern's products a shot. it was a godsend. i've had amazing results using this with the rest of dan kern's regimen. this guy is truly a genius. i am not embarrassed about my skin anymore, and feel good using these products knowing that they are earth- and animal- friendly.

Pros:

I ordered this for my 15-year-old son and I ended up loving it, too! I've tried lots of liquid cleansers and this is the best I've ever used. It's gentle yet cleans well and doesn't leave my face feeling dry or tight. Good work!

Cons:

I gave it a little lower rating on consistency because sometimes it beads up a little but it smooths out as you wash. I also marked it down on packaging because I'm not a big fan of plastic wrap - but there may be
no better option!

Highly recommended!

This actually works!

I have had acne since my teenage years and have used every cleanser from the drugstore variety up to the expensive kind with limited results. I have been using the acne.org cleanser for almost 5 years and it is literally the only cleanser that has worked for me! It cleared up my awful cystic acne and has kept me relatively breakout free. I do have some hormonal acne due to my cycle but even that isn't very bad and clears up quickly. I will never go without this cleanser. 2 pumps a day on my exfoliating gloves is all I use. I buy 2 of the large bottles (less than $30 with shipping) and it will last for a year.
