Pros:

Best soap for SENSITIVE SKIN/ ACNE. Very Cheap. Works Great!

Cons:

None

I tried EVERYTHING for my ACNE. Paid top dollar for skin products/prescriptions.Used Dermalogica, Clinique, etc. This is the only thing that clears and maintains healthy skin. I suggest using the Purpose Moisturizer with it. They just came out with a Redness Reducing moisturizer. It's a little more expensive ($14) but is amazing.

Pros:

Works very well, and lathers great. All you need to do is wet your hands then rub the soap a little and you've got all the lather you need. It's also really affordable. The smell takes a while to get used to but it's great.

Cons:

NONE. A lot of people are complaining about dryness. I used to experience that as well. Then I realized I was using too much lather and leaving it on my face too long. Use less lather and wash it off your face quickly. The dryness will stop.

Use this soap. The reason I bought it was because it doesn't have a lot of chemicals like other cleansers. If a product's ingredient list is longer than a novel, then don't use it. I believe it's those chemicals that lead to bad skin. I use nothing else on my face but Purpose and my skin has never been better.

Pros:

Nice gentle cleanser that can be used multiple times per day without drying. Nice scent that smells clean...it also leaves your face residue free. 6oz bar lasts forever

Cons:

Constantly having to change sandwich baggies to store it in ...a little messy unless you gave some special huge soap bar container..

It's an excellent bar cleanser that won't make you break out and it does it's job. It cleans well without making you dry and it doesn't leave an odd film on your face. Gives a clean feeling...overall i'd recommend it to anyone.

Pros:

Smells great, cheap, lasts for an eternity, cleans very well.

Cons:

Quickly gets mushy if not kept in a soap case.

I've been using this product for a little over a year now, and I swear to God I would die without it. When used in combination with Astringent and Aloe, it is THE most effective system I have ever used. I'm 15, and I had pretty bad acne. Within 2 weeks of starting with this and the products I stated, it was all gone. I'm not even exaggerating. Now just get rid of these scars....

Works great and I recommend it to my friends who are struggling with chronic acne. For the price, you can't beat it.

No good for me
My old derm had this in his office. So I got some for myself. It felt very stripping to me, and I continued to break out worse and worse.
