Pros:

Non irritating, cleans well not a striped feeling. Must not leave on too long and not scrub with wash cloth, instead just use hands and warm not hot water. Moisturize afterward. Moderate acne cleared. Reduced inflamation within two days.

Cons:

A little pricey but worth it.

Try it! I tried it thinking it would be like everything else. Glad to say was pleasantly surprised. I'm sticking with this one.

Pros:

Cheap.

Cons:

Extremely, unbearably drying.

I used this product for almost two weeks. The first three days it felt fine, I was using it with bp and lac-hydrin five. The fourth day or so my skin was extremely dry and I developed a rash on my neck... if it wasn't a rash it was a result of extreme, painful dryness. The odd thing is I didn't put any products on my neck but the soap must have dripped down. Bottom line, way too dry. I was a lizard face for a few days after I stopped. I used St. Ives afterward with lots of lac-hydrin and my skin is so much better now.

Pros:

thoroughly gets rid of oil

Cons:

EXTREMELY DRYING

i really liked this product for about 2 weeks, using a glycerin based cleanser really helps acne, but i soon found that this cleanser became extremely drying and iritating, skin felt dull, removed too much oil i now just keep this in my shower and use it if my skin is extra oily, i recommend using Cetaphil instead, not as drying and the liquid is gentler on skin

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....

Pros:

Cleans the skin thoroughly. Inflamatory acne incidence reduced.

Cons:

Only partially effective toward reducing black heads and white heads.

Great product at a low cost. The product dries the skin quite a bit, so make sure that you have proper moisturizer after words.

Pros:

gently cleanses skin without over drying. smells amazing! has very few ingredients. lathers very well. cheap~ i bought the 6 oz. bar for $3.99! i only use it once a day, in the morning and i can tell that this is going to last me for an eternity!

Cons:

none.

i would definetly recommend this to anyone who wants a gentle cleanser, sensitive skin or not. i think that it clears up acne because it is so gentle and just cleanses and soothes your skin instead of making it react with crazy chemicals.

Pros:

Cheap, works great, long lasting bottle/or bar.

Cons:

Can be a little drying, but can be remedied by using Purpose moisturizer afterwards.

After trying everything on the drug store shelf wih worsening results nearly eveytime i finally took a trip to the dermatologist. She recommended Purpose cleanser and moisturizer and it has dramatically improved my skins texture and appearance.
