doesn't work as advertised
I have very oily skin and this wash just aggravates it. It dries my skin out even more and has made it flaky. Been using it for 3-4 months once a day, have seen no improvement in acne at all. Disappointed.

Wanted to love it
I wanted to love this stuff. After years of harsh cleansers and lots of different products, I was suggested I try something more gentle. It made sense, the stuff I'd been using was far too harsh and made me break out. I've been using this twice a day everyday for nearly 2 months and my acne is worse than ever. I eat a very balanced and healthy diet so I know it only comes down to the products I put on my face. My face is oily by the end of the day and I don't have naturally oily skin. If you're someone this works for, then I envy you. Sadly this product just wasnt for me

Pros:

-moisturizes very dry skin

Cons:

-never sinks in
-clogs pores
-burns

I have very sensitive and very oily skin. I have tried this a few times and every time I use it it never sinks in to the skin no matter how little of it I use. This just sits on your skin catching all the dirt and bacteria in the air and clogs your pores. Every single time I've used this I broke out. You may as well put like honey or maple syrup on your face and never rub it in because you'll get the same effect. Actually those might even work better than this product.

Pros:

face did look cleanly I guess

Cons:

gae me acne (gave me two reddish bumps on my nose and gave me one bump under my eye that weren't there before I got into the shower and used the product to be exact )

difficult to use in the shower because of the way the bottle is shaped. Doesn't have a normal bottle shape

So I tried this after having developed acne as soon as I got from out of the shower, I quickly sent it back to WalMart. The Walmart. I also didn't like at least the Walmart price at 9 dollars and something cents. So yea, I sent it back and now I'm using something else that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with no flaws. :D By the way, I only used it once and I have heard the phrase 'it gets worse before it gets better.' But I just didn't want to take any chances and I'm glad I didn't given I've found something that works for me.

Pros:

-smooth skin

Cons:

nothing

This product does nothing but wastes space, its such a huge bottle with useless liquid inside. It has done nothing for me! All it did was soften my skin! I dont know why I read these reviews when YOURE ALL OBVIOUSLY LYING. YOU ARE ALL FANTASIZING THE FACT THAT THIS PRODUCT DOES ABSOLUTLY NOTHING FOR ACNE.

Pros:

Gentle
Easy to use

Cons:

Contains SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate)
Made acne worse

This cleanser made me break out like crazy, which really surprised me after it was so highly recommended by my dermatologist. Anyone who has unusually sensitive skin, eczema, or an autoimmune disease may want to avoid SLS because it can irritate the skin and make it worse. The same goes for salicylic acid (aspirin).
