Gentle

Pros:

Gentle
Fragrance Free
Removes Makeup

If a gentle cleanser is what you're looking for, this will be perfect for you. It has a light foamy lather, removes makeup in 2 washes, no other makeup remover or wipe required. This cleanser never makes my skin feel stripped or dry. It's perfect for sensitive skin and makeup removal. My skin type is oily-combination, acne prone.

Drying. I prefer the hydrating one.
It's drying and stings my nostrils. I bought it once and finished the bottle but I did not repurchase. On the other hand, CeraVe's hydrating cleanser is a staple in my regimen.

Love it
Ive seen people say that this face wash breaks them out? i dont think it does, its comedogenic. I really love this cleanser, ive definitely noticed an improvement in my skin's texture and i think it's due to the ceramides. I also think this cleanser has helped with my skin's redness and irritability. I will definitely be repurchasing this, i love that it comes in a pump and the size is very big.

Can't get over the smell.
I didn't smell this in the store before I bought it as I didn't think a gentle cleanser like this would have any fragrance. However, once I got home and tried to use this, I could not get over the smell! It smells so strongly of the bubbles you play with when you're a little kid in a bad chemical kind of way. Not sure if this was just me, but I couldn't even use this product and I'm not typically so sensitive to smell.

UPDATE: I Like It More Than Regimen Cleanser
Compared to the Acne.org Cleanser, this product dries the skin basically just as much. This product does not lather up as well. This product would not be ideal to shave with. Update: I have decided that I prefer this cleanser over the Acne.org cleanser, only because it replaces the ceramides the skin loses from the AHA. It also adds niacinamide. These ingredients are naturally produced by the skin, and are beneficial. Although this cleanser doesn't lather as well as the Acne.org cleanser; just put some in the palm of your hand, then add some warm water on top of that to get it foaming almost as well as the Acne.org cleanser.

Pros:

Cleanses well
Makes skin feel refreshed
Does not irritate or over dry
Awesome :D

Cons:

Not the easiest thing to lather
Skin still dry after using it

I love the way this cleanser makes my skin feel, it's almost like my skin just wants to eat it up. It doesn't irritate or cause excess drying, however it doesn't eliminate drying completely. It takes some practice to lather, the key is just add water. Overall I like this cleasner.

Clogging AND irritating

Ppl seem to love this. Not sure if it’s the coconut derivative cleaner or the glycerin, but this clogs my pores horribly. I can’t use any similar cleansers. 

This also left my skin itchy. I tried so hard to make it work. Second step after oil cleanse. Second step after my usual cleanser. I never get clogged pores bc I have such dry skin. Only hormonal cysts during certain times of the month. But this def clogged pores. 

 

Ive read others have similar experiences, so the list of comedogenic ingredients needs to be updated. I know when i use glycerin & water I get bumps. So my skin can’t breathe or something with glycerin cleansers. 

If you want a great cleanser, try the cetaphil gentle foaming cleanser. That has helped my teenage daughter w oily skin & horrible blackheads. She uses that & persa gel & her skin is soooo much better. 

If like me, you can’t stand the film these leave, try the cetaphil gentle cleansing bar. I can’t usually tolerate fragrance & it doesn’t bother me. Still on the hunt for a fragrance free version tho. But my skin stays clear with this & cerave lotion.

It is very good so far.

I usually use raw black soap by plant guru in the summer and grapeseed oil as a moisturizer. I wanted more of a moisturizing cleanser in the winter because black soap is too harsh for me during the winter and grapeseed oil. Recently I used nature Republic aloe Vera gel that left me with cystic acne in 3 days. I have not had cystic acne in two years. I got a travel size of this foaming cleanser I seen results in 3 days. I also can use the grapeseed oil with out it feeling drying. It comes out as a gel add water and apply to my face it feels like I am washing my face with little bubbles. It feels very theraupeutic. I rinsed then apply a dime size a grape seed oil on damp skin and I am left with a glow. MY cystic acne has went down 75percent. I have used this for two weeks granted I might have skipped a day. My face feels very smooth. I was so impressed I went out and bought the 12 oz bottle because I am so pleased with this product. I like this better than the hydrating cleanser it felt like cetaphil and it broke me out like cetaphil. By the way I have combo/ oily acne prone sensitive skin. I found I am sensitive to fragrances, and asorbic acids, and salicylic acids.

What happened?
I used to kinda like this cleanser, I first used it last year so I could clear my acne but it never really did, it never broke me out though. I stopped using it and I've been using the dr.bronners soap and now I came back to this to see if it'll clear my skin up. But for some reason I broke out with Whitehead's all over my forehead and my face was itchy and it broke out in hives. My nose was swollen and I've used this for two extra days and my Whitehead's came to the point that it hurt to even wash my face. Now I have more Whitehead's, shiny face, and itchy red bumps on my face. What's happening?
