Non irritating, made my skin appear clearer and feel softer.

The price is a little higher than most OTC cleansers.

Try it out! The best cleaner I tried so far (better than Cetaphil and Spectro)

I love the feeling of this cleanser, it smells rather good and it did not over dry my skin. If you are on accutane or some other medication and need something to wash your face just to keep it clean this is the product for you. It's not irritating and doesn't overly dry your skin.

Pros:

I got it on sale.

Cons:

I found it was expensive for what you get. I caused my skin to break out, a lot. My face became oily and I had huge pimples break out all over.

I used the moisturizer also. The wash and moisturizer are the only ones available in Canada (like 5 other clear complexion products available in the US). I am really curious why... maybe banned by Health Canada? Anyways, my skin had been fairly good, probably the best in years, but after Aveeno (used twice a day), it's a huge mess. Don't ruin your skin. Luckily, I now use VICHY NORMADERM. It's quite expensive, but well worth the money. Aveeno is aweful.

I've been using this product for about 3 months now and my acne is the same. It doesn't do anything for it. If you want a facial cleanser that just cleans then this will work. It's absolutely useless when it comes to breakouts. Plus, the pump broke after about two uses. I had to switch the cleanser to a different bottle and make the foam myself.

Pros:

I've been using this product for about a week now, and while I can't see any huge difference in the clarity of my skin, it's made my skin incredibly supple and soft.

Cons:

It's slightly drying if you use it twice a day like I do. However, I live in a cold climate (especially this week), so that might be why. To combat this I bought the matching moisturizer today.

A+.

Not awful, not great

Pros:

Inexpensive
Smells nice
Easy to find

Cons:

A cleanser that doesn't clean

This cleanser is fairly gentle and inexpensive, but it just doesn't get the job done. It probably won't make your skin worse, but it's not going to help you either, unless you've only got mild breakouts/blackheads. If you have sensitive skin, I'd stay away because this was slightly drying. Not recommended for moderate acne. It also won't help with any cysts.
