Pros:

gentle, feels very clean after using it, doesn't interrupt with any other skin care or acne medication, cheap, last for a long time, gentle smell.

Cons:

none!

I've used it for about 5 yrs ever since i started using products for acne. even though a lot of acne kits come with soap or cleansers, this one is the best. use it and you won't regret it.

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:

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.

Pros:

Cheap, prevent breakouts, has a nice fragrance.

Cons:

Hard to find in my country.

Used this for a month. I have to say this cleanser is the one for me. My face has been totally clear for the past 2 weeks, which was a miracle for me. Diet is another factor. So I guess internal and external both work hand-in-hand.

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.

Pros:

non irritating, big bar (lasts a while), just works good!

Cons:

I can't really say I have any...

I've been using for this for about FOUR years now. I've also been on been medications for four years for my acne. I don't have a severe case, but I hate outbreaks, so any amount of money is completely worth not having to deal with it. this soap seems to work fine, it doesn't overdry in my opinion and has not really caused any outbreaks that I can tell, my acne just flucutates a lot, which is a part of life for teenagers like me, so I get over it. but I don't think you'll find anything better than this bar of soap - it's a great choice, I'd really recommend it. just look at the ratings! is there a comparison?!?!?!?! RECOMMENDED!!!!! FOUR YEARS OF USE AND IT'S GREAT! :)
