Pros:

Destroys acne without mercy.

Cons:

Still smells a little like sulfur, but I guess that's the point.

Been using sulfur soap for years (I'm 44) and thought I'd give this outfit a shot as I was getting tired of paying for shipping from Europe (the only other place where I can get quality sulfur soap). After a month of use, I believe this to be the best bar I've used yet. Coral Kavi lasts longer (doesn't start to fall apart after a week), smells less, seems to work maybe like 15% better, and with being a U.S. company, saves me about $200/yr in shipping costs.

Pros:

Help cure some acne, makes acne "core" come to surface, fast/easy to use, makes skin a bit smoother although dry, can use all over body and not just face (not head/hair though)

Cons:

Drys out skin, takes awhile to actually "work" and may not work for everyone, not a miracle cure, can make non oily skin... kinda oily (not too much, probably side effect of dry skin), doesn't make any redness go away (like on neck and cheeks) much

I've been using sheseido & moisturizing soap for years. It helped (less acne, no more oily skin). Decided to give this a try. I thought this would be a miracle cure with it's high rating (one of few still manufactured). Well, it wasn't. First 3 weeks, had 3-4 big red cysts formed on my cheeks. I stopped using it with sheseido & mositurizer after I learn I shouldn't. After 2 more weeks, the cysts on my cheek started to be better. I have less acne on my neck,etc. and the "cores" come to the surface for me to pop (I pop cores out, it helps). My skin is kinda dry now, and kinda oily... which it wasn't before. This product seems to work, but doesn't seem to work alone. I checked the site, and this is only step one. I'm gonna buy the toner and moisturizer to see if it works more and post later. Overall, helped neck, top lip, and most areas, not all. Stopped white heads/etc. for most part. Overall, helped quite a lot. Only cyst forming/dry-oily skin/no redness curing part was bad about it.

Pros:

Remarkably effective

Cons:

none that I can think of.

After trying the soap alone, I switched to the anti-acne system which also comes with a toner, moisturizer, salicylic acid peel, and sunblock. I really couldn't be happier. Had I known about KAVI 8 years ago, I would have gladly paid them $100 per bar to get those years back. If you have moderate to severe acne, you need to look into this product.

Pros:

FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!! Works much, much better than I ever expected it to.

Cons:

None

I'm 22 and my teenage acne had not been clearing up like I had hoped. My doctor turned me on to Coral KAVI before messing around with any other stuff (besides I had already done the Cleocin/Retin-A thing in high school and my acne just kept getting worse). This one product has been amazing, and I thought I would share for anyone else struggling with acne that has gone immune to run-of-the-mill treatments. I'm not sure if it's prescription, though, as I got it directly from my doctor's office.

Pros:

Works to heal & prevent a variety of skin disorders

Cons:

In my case, there were no cons

You will need to use acne spot treatments on individual zits. This is not enough alone.

Pros:

It works if you follow the directions :-)

Cons:

If you think this is your local pharmacy's acne medication, you'll be trading in your big zits for little whiteheads.

I think this product is right on the line between OTC and RX strength, and it took me by surprise, being just a "soap". The first couple of days were fine (big acne clearing up) but then my chin started to break out into little whiteheads and I'm talking like two dozen. Went to KAVI's support forum and surprise, surprise, not only was I not the only one, but their customer support had spelled out the reasons.. mainly that Coral KAVI can dry out non-oily skin types and that little whiteheads are a symptom of dried out skin. They also say that if you're coming off some other medication, you need to give your skin a rest before moving to their products, and, DO NOT use other anti acne meds while using their products. Over-medicating is bad.. go figure. Well, I was breaking all the rules and needless to say, after waiting a week and then going down to once a day and moisturizing for now, the little whiteheads seem to be going away. Also: Coral is the strongest bar, they have milder ones.

Pros:

seemed to help with inflammatory acne quite quickly
bar form is easy to use and non-messy
did not cause redness like BP

Cons:

caused comodonal acne
dried my skin too much

I was so excited when I started using this. I bought the soap, toner, and SA 8% peel. After 1 week, the 4 huge nodules I had at the start were gone and my pores looked more refined. On day 14 I got a massive outbreak of whiteheads all over my face. I thought it was a rash since I've never had comodonal acne before. Kavi support told me to reduce my useage to 1x/day (I'd been using it 2-3x/day)...but my face never cleared up. A month later I decided that it wasn't working. As soon as I stopped and went back to BP, the comodones started clearing. I'm still trying to undo the damage though.

Pros:

Has great anti-acne fighting ingredients listed as products.

Cons:

I guess it took me to this product to find out that I don't react well to one product: salicylic acid. Like a previous poster said, my acne has been slowly getting worse. Pustules/cysts around my lips have started re-emerging.

I put hope in this product but after so much usage of SA, I realized at this point, that I need to stop. I'm bout to switch to just the sulfur bar - Aqua Kavi. I've been on sulfur washes before and I can say I never reacted terribly to sulf.

Pros:

Nothing Good to say about this product

Cons:

Used it for 4 days and everday i got a new painful pimple. This product has definetly been overhyped and overated.. Also dried out my skin and just made it feel overall unhealthy..

If you wanna take the risk and use this product go ahead but i personally will never ever use this product again. I dont know how so many people found this product helpful. Going to try Lbris skincare line next
