My experience: not gentle too stripping

I bought this cleanser when looking for new skincare in hopes of seeing a change in my skin and actually saw this as a recommendation from a someone on tiktok. I only used this without the regimen because I only get breakouts and do not have serious acne problems. I have been using this for about 3 months twice a day, and I have seen improvement in my skin since using this cleanser as the smaller bumps on the sides of my face have disappeared but I still breakout. Gel cleansers work better for my skin and I like that this foams up so it feels like I am really cleaning my skin however after washing it leaves my face tight which I thought this would not do since it claims to be "ultra gentle",  but this leaves my face feeling stripped of any oils (my skin type is normal to dry). After I moisturize this tight feeling goes away but your cleanser should not do that because it is damaging your skin and moisture barrier and I even noticed it caused my skin to peel. So once again I have to search for a new cleanser that can fulfill my skin's needs and is more hydrating. I still have a lot left since I got the largest size and will continue to use until its over to not waste it but I will now only cleanse once a day to help prevent over-stripping and use it as a body wash.

Pros: fragrance free, vegan, affordable, lasts a long time

Cons: too stripping for my skin type better for oilier skin, caused skin to peel, leaves face tight

You can wash your face, it wont harm your skin if since this is super gentle.

Pros:

good lather, nice size, doesn't dry out skin

Cons:

leaves skin too oily, expensive shipping

i really like the rest of the daniel kern products, but i have gone back to my old soap. like the rest of daniel kern's products, this is really expensive to ship, so it's not worth it to me. it left my skin too oily, and after a week or two my acne was significantly worse than it had been previously. now i use my old soap and the daniel kern bp and moisturizer and things are back on track!

Pros:

Nothing major

Cons:

Have been using the BP gel and getting great results and decided to add this and have not noticed any improved results. Simply washing my face with hand-soap and the BP gel seemed to honestly work better. Cost is also WAY too high.

I would have to recommend the BP gel hands-down but would not even recommend the cleanser. It is very expensive and does not produce any noticable positive results. I think this site needs to offer a smaller "sampler" size of this product so people can try it before forking over a larger chunk of change. Product needs to be further developed.

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!

Give it a shot, it could be right for you.

Pros:

You get a lot for the price and the packaging is good.

Cons:

It strips your skin and is really too harsh for me and i dont even have sensitive skin.

Some people find it works so give it a try but it didnt work for me. I wouldnt trust all the rating here as most of them are from people who having only been using the product for a few weeks.

Pros:

Lathers great and it pretty cheap.

Cons:

Dries out skin like crazy. There is no way this cleanser is gentle in any way. YOUR SKIN WILL PEEL BADLY! I do not have gentle skin by any means...I was using 10% benzoyl peroxide wash on my face at one time and it was not as drying as this wash.

I would use Purpose face wash. It also lathers well and makes my face feel great.

Pros:

Nice packaging. Not a bad smell. Easy rinsing. Lots for your $$$.

Cons:

I'm very oily & this dried out my skin horribly, even with excessive moisturizer use. Also, did not remove any makeup effectively, which led to worsening of my acne. Blackheads became worse with use.

Did not work for me, though I still LOVE the bp gel. I have switched to Paula's Choice One Step Face Cleanser, 1% Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel & Skin Balancing Moisture gel, in addition to using the bp gel. This combo has produced amazing results! I know Dan says not to use BHA w/ the bp gel, but my skin is not dry & looks much better than when I was using the Clear Skin Regimen cleanser, bp gel & moisturizer as suggested by this site. The BHA gel actually gets rid of the blackheads! I've used the Paula's Choice regimen plus bp gel for over 2 months now, but the difference in my skin's texture was almost immediate.
