Pros:

Gentle cleanser, doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. Makes my skin feel Soft and clean.

Cons:

Kind of pricy

I love it but I kind of wish if was fragrant free (smells good, it would just be nice to know that I'm not putting fragrant chemicals on my face)

Pros:

the only face cleanser that works so far for my sensitive acne prone skin. it doesn't cause breakouts, but may be drying if you have dry skin. this cleanser purifies oily skin with imperfections & unclog pores.

Cons:

may be a bit too pricey for a cleanser, but worth it

This cleanser is great if you have oily skin with imperfections. It doesn't cause breakouts for me & it was the only cleanser that i have used so far that cleared me up a lot. (i've used ALOT of products in the past that didn't work & irritated my skin even more) This product was recommended by my dermatologist & was tested for acne prone skin. (wash with warm water 1st to open up pores & when you finish cleansing your face with this cleanser wash it off with warm water & then the last rinse wash it with COLD water to close your pores.

Pros:

contain fewer irritating ingredients

Cons:

don't really work

Personally, I found this too irritating for my skin. I got all flaky around the nose area like I do when my skin's not happy with my face products. I guess it cleans you up, but it' s not like it helped my acne or anything...if it did I would have put up with the dryness...I tried the 4 step thing from this line--cleanser, toner, effaclar K and a moisturizer, and I didn't get great results. It just did nothing. But then I only stuck with it about 4-6 week, maybe resutls take longer.

Pros:

This product balances your PH and helps your skin from your other bad treatments that you have tried, it removes acne, blemishes and little zits and spots. The best thing is that this product DOES NOT contain benzoyl peroxide or salycilic acid!WORKS

Cons:

It may be expensive and hard to find, but it worths it

I found this product in a very good pharmacy in Mexico named "Farmacia Dermatologica", there they only sell very expensive products may I say. I consulted a dermatologist very helpful and gave the products that I had to use, she DIDN'T gave me the fool 3-STEP, she gave me something different, the EFFACLAR PURIFYING FOAMING GEL (for mornings and nights) EFFACLAR M (for mornings) EFFACLAR K (for nights), A VICHY PURETTE DETOXIFICATION (for 2 times a week at night instead of the EFFACLAR PURIFYING FOAMING GEL) and the SUNSCREEN ANTHELIOS FOR FACE, OILY TO COMBINATION SKIN 50+ (obviously for mornings) adnd when I bought it they gave me a bag from LA ROCHE-POSAY with thermal water and a little sample of the sunscreen mentioned above. In the past I tried everything like Clean&Clear, Neutrogena and the stupid Proactiv that only damaged my skin with all those chemicals. BUT I HAVE TO REALLY SWEAR THAT THIS WORKS!
