Pros:

face looked clean but I think that was just from the water and the fact I'd got out of the shower

Cons:

Exacerbated few acne bumps I had and developed some a couple new ones

It's important to note that the day before I used this product, I had tried Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser which gave two bumps on my nose and one bump under my eye that had never been there before. And I have very mild acne. Nothing severe. I only get a bump here or there. Anyways, I woke up yesterday morning with my bumps from the Cetaphil next to gone because of a product I use that gets rid of acne. And I quickly sent the Cetaphil back to the store and decided to buy Olay Foaming Face Wash Sensitive Skin because of good reviews out of some book called "Don't Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me". Anyways, I get into the shower and when I come back out, the two acne bumps on my nose are ripe and visible again and so is the one under my eye. In addition, I have a new bump on my lower cheek area. Sooooooooooooooo I sent this damn product back to the store. I should note that I only used this product once. I know of 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 because I found something else that works better than anything I've ever tried that I LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOOOOOOVE!

Pros:

cleans skin
removes makeup

Cons:

doesn't really help with acne

I love the regular cleanser of this, but the sensitive one doesn't seem to do anything for my skin. I'm going to switch back to the one for All skin types.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Didn't work

This product was weird for me. I was fed up with using all my other products so I found this. I used it for a couple weeks and noticed a big fat nothing! My zits and blackheads were still there, they also worsened a little. This product is weak. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a very LIGHT face wash.

Pros:

It makes your skin soft like silk after the first use! It doesn't dry your skin at all, it actually cleans great and moisturizes very well at the same time!

Cons:

Cannot be used alone to treat acne

I've been using this product ever since I read the reviews on here (like a year ago) bc I thought that Dan's dried my skin and made it feel tight. I use this twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night before bed. I use this with Dan's Regimine as a substitution for his cleanser. Wash your skin gently for 10 seconds, pat dry your face, follow with BP, then a moisturizer and your good to go! I used to have moderate acne with random red bumps here and there but ever since I used this cleanser in conjunction with the regimine, I've been like 95% clear

Pros:

Skin is pretty much cleared up

Cons:

took a while

I've never really reviewed anything before I just read em and i never thought i would write a review on something. so ive been using this for a few months and it cleaned my skin. it doesnt work for some people cuz they dont know what to do. ur supposed to wet ur face and ur hands aand get 2 pumps and lather together and wash over face. most people dont lather or do it over face dry. never wash ur face with a towel. do it with a paper towel. a towel is just getting the germs back into ur skin. so i did this twice a day and i also took on the spot acne treatment for nuetrogena. people dont know how to use that also. ur supossed to rub it on acne affected areas and not fully rb it in. there should still be sosme white stuff and it dries up ur acne. so yaa.... buy it

Pros:

Cleaned..i guess..

Cons:

Didn't do anyting for my face
Blackheads got worse
Dryed my face

I read fairly good reviews on this site and figured 'Hey! i should give this a shot' ...but after two weeks of using this i seriously could not take this anymore, i missed my old cleanser wayyy to much... actually, after during the day after washing with this product, my blackheads became freakishly visable, my face got kinda sensative, and a whole lot oiler..even my mom (who usually doesn't notice my face or say anything about my complexion) said that my skin definantly looks '..different..' so i switched and im glad i got rid of this cleanser (maybe i can use it in case of emergancy)

Pros:

doesnt dry out skin
doesnt spread acne
leaves skin soft
isn't oily
reduces redness

Cons:

none!

i used proactiv for a month because my face started breaking out and it made my mild acne turn moderate it was HORRIBLE so i stopped use of that and started using the olay foaming cleanser, its the BEST ive ever used and stopped the acne from forming also on a side note because I have bad dark scars from the acne now so i started taking vitamin A pills and they work wonders!

Pros:

Removes makeup well, not drying, reduces redness, somehow shrinks pimple size.

Cons:

Leaves a soapy residue feeling but nothing I can't handle. :)

I use this before my regimen to get all the makeup and dirt out and besides the little bit of soapy feeling this product works great!
