Pros:

Got rid of acne.

Cons:

Makes my acne reder when washed in a sink.

I dont know if that is a coicidence or not, but whenever I wash my face in the sink with it, my acne looks reder for about 30 minutes after washing, but when I wash in a shower it looks fine. But other than that, its GREAT, I would definitly encourage buying a BP spot treatment to go with it cause this brings out all your acne, so be patient because its worth it. Also, it dosent dry out your skin if you dont later too much. It made my skin dry the first few days, but then my skin adapted.

Pros:

prevent nasty breakouts

Cons:

tight feeling

i like it a lot despite the fact that my face is dry afterwards (maybe it's because i wash my face with this soap under a hot shower)

Pros:

Cleans the face very well, no residue and cleans up the cystic acne!

Cons:

None

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

Personally I don't like bars...but thats just me.

The best cleanser. I've tried many others, even Dan's own.

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.

I love this soap, I have very oily skin, I have used it for a couple of years and it still seems to work well for me, I not only use it for my face I use it for my chest and back which sometimes break out.

Pros:

this product is AMAZING!!! i was skeptical at first because nothing else had ever worked, in fact many other products made my skin worse! But Purpose is different, i noticed healthier skin and less or the RED irritated look in just a couple of hours!

Cons:

that i didn't find this product sooner!

if you have blemishes,or even really bad skin like i did, give Purpose a try, it does not over dry your skin like a lot of other products and it is well worth the cost, what do you have to lose besides your pimples? You wont be sorry!!

Pros:

I have on and off acne and it's been frustrating because products will work for a while... and then I'll get used to it and it'll stop. I saw reviews for this bar online and I purchased it. My skin cleared up a day later. Buy it!

Cons:

It can be drying.. but moisturizer takes care of this.

It works.. I think because it's so effective in pulling out all the dirt and makeup from my pores.. i know acne can be caused by hormones as well... but right when i started using purpose my face cleared up A LOT. Highly recommended.
