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.

Pros:

- Cleans pretty well

Cons:

- Lathers fairly enough though not enough to cover the whole face.
- Though it does clean well, my skin still feels a tiny bit oily.

Overall, I would still recommend it to others as it is a good enough cleanser unless your face is seriously riddled with oil like a gas station. When I first used it, I was surprised that it cleaned pretty well even though there wasn't that oomph feeling. The feeling when you know it's really clean. It would be great if it was a tough cleanser that refreshes your skin and yet still holding on to that cool property of not over drying your skin. Keep improving Dan!

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!

Pros:

Easy Pump Bottle

Cons:

Overdrying

Extremely over drying for me Left My skin tight flaky and couldn't open my mouth without severe flaking/cracking. I found that anything that foams/lathers up will cause over drying.

Pros:

A little goes a long way, so with a bottle this big you won't be buying face wash again anytime soon. It also does clean your face, almost too much. Fragrance-free or if anything, too little to notice.

Cons:

My biggest complaint is OVERLY DRYING!!Also,with shipping it's pretty pricey, although if you buy a whole bunch then it's not too bad.

For a long time I thought it was the benzoyl peroxide that was drying out my face until it looked like sand paper and was peeling like crazy. I had to constantly put a moisturizer on my face. I started to reduce the amount of bp until i was only using a tiny dot on my face. unfortunately, I was still getting the same results. I started to think that I was allergic to bp. But then I went on a trip and forgot my facewash at home. Instead I ended up using my mother's. Miraculously my face began to get less and less dry until I didnt even need to use a moisturizer any more. I even increased the amount of bp. The first time that I used Dan's facewash after I got home, the flakiness started to come back and for the first time in a week I had to put a moisturizer on. For about two months I had had extremely dry skin and coulndnt figure out why. Now I know that it was the facewash that dried my face out like a raisin in the sun. I definately will not be buying this again.

Pros:

- Silky Smooth Application
- Positive Solution for Shaving
- Large Bottle

Cons:

- Too Overdrying for Combination Skin Areas
- Shipping and Packing Costs Too High
- Fails to Penetrate Cleansing Deep Enough

A generally quite good product depending on your skin type, but it appears that flaws are present. Parts of my skin find a good tolerance with the product and therefore it proves effective in the job it is aimed for, however for combination skin like mine certain areas around my Nasal regions have massively over dried leading to flaking that very few moisturisers can touch. Overall though for the application and the anti-irritation factor for shavers, this is a good product. I think another guy may of touched up on this, but it would be a great idea if 'Dan' could introduce a FREE sample or charge a small fee for a much smaller sampler. The cost implications involved for a poroduct that potentially may not work is quite frankly off the scale. I'm in two minds on whether or not i shall stay on this and fight it out, on the other hand i'll probably move away from it. Read before you buy, it's not for everyone.

want to love it, but dries me out!
I've used really harsh cleansers, but for whatever reason this just dries me out. I have really oily skin and am rarely dry anywhere but around my mouth or eyes. it's probably the only cleanser I've used that keeps my skin oily free most of the day and I want to love it but I don't think it agrees with my skin. I used it in conjunction with BP and moisturizer from The Regimen. my skin was clear but so so dry and horribly flaky. Cetaphil works better for me if I'm using BP. but I still would recommend trying it!
