Pros:

Nice texture

Cons:

My skin stung while using it, and made my skin break out waaay more than usual. (Read bottom line to see why).

I used SpectroGel before I used this product, and Spectro was also extra gentle on my skin. The Spectro worked great, but I decided to give this a try. However the Spectro was so gentle that my skin got accustomed to it, so when I used this porduct, although it is supposed to be gentle, it stung my skin quite a bit (every time I used it; even a month later). And it made me break out, a lot. Before I used this, I used to get around 3-5 pimples a week, now I am having a lot, lot more. But again, it all depends on your skin type so give it a try.

Pros:

-does not dry my skin out, at all, and is in fact very moisturizing

Cons:

-breaks me out, minutes after using it :(

I used this product a few times, and I've realized that it breaks me out along my jawline -- at first, not in acne, but more like an allergic reaction. Then, it breaks me out in acne. I'm really disappointed because I love how it doesn't dry my skin out...but it just isn't going to work out, I suppose. Oh, well. I hope it works out for others :)

It felt nice but I believe it broke me out
This is a gentle cleanser which feels lovely. Although it burnt me while I was on differin. I prefer a cleansing water like bioderma sensibio h2o its not oily but gentle and it never burns , im prone to eczema so I'm really sensitive. To each their own.

Not what I had expected.

Pros:

Relatively inexpensive
Non-overdrying

Cons:

Irritated Acne
Burns
Redness

While others may be sucessful when trying this cleanser, I found it to be irritating to my senesitive skin. It burned upon application and did not have any moisturizing affects at all. However, everyone's skin is different

Pros:

I guess it helped the dryness of my combo skin a little although I did not see a marked improvement

Cons:

I dislike the consistency it feels worse than rubbing lotion on my face and my face definatly broke out from it.

May work for some with the use of the BP. Didn't dry out my skin but, didn't feel nice either.
