Pros:

- Leathers incredibly well;
- Doesn't leave the skin dry;
- Really washes throughout skin without leaving treatment or moisturizer "leftovers";

Cons:

- None;

I have very sensitive skin and being acne-prone I always had to wash my skin twice a day. That left me with really dry skin and a redness all over my face (as if I had rosacea). This cleanser leaves my skin looking great, with no dryness at all (my skin is only dry due to the BP treatment) and my skin looks more uniform and not red at all. It's a really great product.

Pros:

Non-drying when used as instructed, slightly drying if you leave it on for longer.

Cons:

None!

I use this cleanser every single day, it makes my face feel clean and doesn't dry my skin. I use it two or three times a day and the big bottle has lasted me more than a few months. I use one pump and lather my face very well for 10 seconds, then wash it off. I have very oily skin, so I have tried cetaphil which doesn't completely remove the oil, to harsher soaps which completely strip all the oil from my face and dry it out horribly. This cleanser is the right balance, I will continue using it.

Pros:

I'm 20 years old, Chinese, combo-skin (I have a shiny nose, though my forehead is dry) and for the longest time I've been bothered by acne (around 7 years?)

I've tried other cleansers, including the pricier ones you can get at local drugstores (e.g. Dermaglow, Vichy). The acne.org cleanser is something you can get cheaper, even with shipping.

It cleared up my acne, for the most part. I used it with the acne.org BP, but I do love the cleanser. Foamy, non-drying.

Cons:

None I experienced.

The results might be different for other people, but for me it worked. I ordered a regular sized bottle, loved it, and then order 2 giant ones. It turned my "acne-severity" from "moderate" to "light" I'm pretty sure. Either this or the BP... but you really shouldn't go with one without the other?

Pros:

Gets my skin clean, clean, clean - and it is even gentle enough to cleanse your eye makeup. Downright cheap compared to the high-end expensive cleaners I had been using. I LOVE this stuff!!

Cons:

None.

Try it. I don't think you will be dissappointed.

Pros:

doesnt over dry, its gentle....no scrubby stuff thats harsh on the skin. large amount for the price.

Cons:

none

I've been fighting breakouts since highschool....I'm 26 now. My birth control helps a lot but doesnt entirely take care of the problem. I tried proactiv and at first it worked really well but after awhile my skin was waaaaay too dry...it was dull looking....when you stop using proactiv your face starts breaking out even more but i knew i had to try something else. i've pretty much tried every product there is...been to a dermatologist, etc.....so i'm extremely skeptical about anything new i try...and i'm definitely not the type of person that usually writes reviews of products....but i swear this is the best product line i've ever tried. my skin is clear again....it fixed the damage proactiv did. i have the cleanser, benz perox, the aha, and the moisturizer....which is the best moisturizer ive ever ever used. anyone who struggles with breaking out should absolutely try this out.

Pros:

Simple
Not irritating

Cons:

None

This is a great, gentle cleanser. Not like those "other" gentle cleansers which either don't actually cleanse, or leave weird residues. However, I don't use this every day. I also have a salicylic acid cleanser, and a salicylic acid scrub. I use Dan's gentle cleanser when my skin is feeling irritated, but when my skin can handle it, I use the salicylic acid because it helps my acne.

Pros:

Very gentle, lathers up extremely well, pump bottle works great for getting an exact amount, can be used for shaving.

Cons:

None other than shipping costs, but that's to be expected.

I am following the DKR and this cleanser is simply amazing. I shave once a day and use this as a shaving "foam". Other shaving foams/gels (Barbasol, Edge, Gillette) sometimes give me acne so I am much safer with an actual cleanser, not to mention it does a very good job lubricating the face and blade. I have only noticed a faint smell so I suppose it changes bottle per bottle from reading these other reviews stating of strong smells. The cleanser itself washes off easily which is always nice and leaves the skin feeling great while removing excess oil and dirt. I only use 1 pump per application since it lathers up so nicely. 16oz will last months.

Pros:

It cleans well, doesn't overdry, and smells pretty awesome. It is very cheap and the bottle is huge. I've used it for two months and there is stillm plenty left. Not much more you can ask for.

Cons:

None

At first, I thought it was overdrying. But, wanting to get my money's worth, I gave it a chance and now like it the best. It is very gentle and has an amazing lather. However, I am not a fan of using soap for shaving; gels make for a much closer, easier shave.

Best cleanser
This is the best cleanser I've used ever! This cleanser and the treatment together has literally been a life saver and if nothing else is working for your skin then definitely give the 3 step regimen a shot because it will help if you follow the directions exactly how they say too. Take it from someone who has been fighting acne since I was 14 and now 31 and tried everything under the sun even home made remedies,this stuff will definitely improve your skin if followed correctly.
