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.

I read a lot about acne products and what surprises me the most is that this facial wash is lacking tea tree oil. I hear nothing but good on tea tree oil! Would be neat if people start a topic about adding in tea tree oil with this cleanser and test the difference... as far as how much, that would be hard to decide. I would think that 10% pure tea tree oil added to the cleanser would help significantly.
