Same as the Acne.org cleanser
I Saw this cleanser for like $4 at the drugstore and decided to get it since I was almost out of Dan's cleanser and im very glad i did. its much cheaper and works just as well. It works better in the shower and you have to rub ouur hands together pretty vigorously to get a lather but once you do, its just the same. If you dont want to wait for shipping, get this one. it is soap free, fragrance free, non-comedogenic, and 10/10

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:

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:

moisturizes skin. fells good. bubbles up well. no fragrance. no irritation at all. makes skin soft and smooth

Cons:

they make it sound like it foams right when it comes out of the pump but of coarse it doesnt

this stuff is amazing. its the most gentle face wash ive ever used. all other face washes ive used dried out my skin but not this. it actually moisturizes my face. it just feels so good when you use it. its hard to describe. it doest break me out either and it goes perfectly with my regimen

Very Gentle
I've used this off and on for a long time. I like to rotate the Proactiv Renewing Cleanser with either this or CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser. However, the Olay cleanser is much cheaper than the CeraVe. It also removes excess oil better without irritating your skin. FYI: I recently bought a new bottle of this, and the name has changed. It's now called Olay Gentle Clean.

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:

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!
