Pros:

Lathers well, a little goes a long way

Cons:

Too drying.
Contains sulfates, which is disappointing.

It does a good job when it comes to removing dirt and makeup, but is super drying. It feels like it strips my skin completely. It could simply be because I'm not used to using a product that contains sulfates. I'm switching back to Burt's Bees ASAP.

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:

-Feels good on skin and easy to lather (which i love!)
-Leaves my skin feeling clean
-pH balanced which is very important

Cons:

-Shipping to Ireland made this product quite expensive for me

This is a very good cleanser and people should definitely give it a go. For people in the UK there is a similar product called la roche posay which they may find cheaper, and is also pH balanced like this product :)

Pros:

smooth, not irritating, cleanse well

Cons:

drys skin, doesn't get rid of dead skin as much

this is the only thing I don't like of Dan's products. It cleans well but it leaves my skin very dry when I'm using full dosage of BP. I've switched to Cetaphill gentle cleanser and found it to be less drying, and it also removes dead skin well when rubbed gently because it's more stickier compare to Dan's cleanser.

Pros:

Clears skin, simple, nice pump, nice slickery feeling

Cons:

Drying, can't use for eye-makeup so not a multi-tasker, chemical-smell

While this is an effective cleanser, it is really, really drying. Perhaps this is part of living in the desert, though, so I'm not ready to write it off. However, I want a product that will also effectively remove my eye makeup while washing and effectively clean my skin. I'm probably going to go back to Philosophy's Purity Made Simple, which I have used for several years. I love Daniel's other products (Treatment and AHA), though, and will stick with them for the duration. The chemical smell (as mentioned by others) is not pleasant, but I have gotten used to it, and if the product met my needs better, I'd be able to overlook it as it wasn't completely offensive.

Pros:

Gentle.

Cons:

Didn't clean well.

Everyone's skin is different and this cleanser simply did not do anything for me. It dried my skin out more than anything else.

Pros:

cheap, it lathers and foams very well. Cleans skin.

Cons:

is very drying! ! not recommended for oily skin or dry skin.

well so much for a gentle cleanser Dan. Have you guys looked at the list of ingredients yeah cucumber is there among with other chemicals. As far as a cleanser it really is a good cleanser it cleans your skin good. I don't recommended for acne since acne is produced by oil. My face is very oily so i tried this and since it dries your skin it made it more oily not good. So bottom line i don't know how so many people put good reviews since is too drying for oily skin which is not good and for people with dry skin i think it might be worst. Not impressed, disappointed.

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:

It was good for getting dirt off my face.

Cons:

It did not work for improving my acne.

After using this cleanser for over three months and seeing no improvement in my acne I decided to try a new product; so I bought the Cetaphil cleanser and started using that. I have already seen improvement in my acne condition after one week!
