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.

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)

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

Pros:

Price
Works very well

Cons:

A little drying

I ended up buying this at target after reading all the reviews. I bought this, a soap travel case, and a tube of BP from neutrogena. This face wash works very well. It does strip your skin of any excess oil, and does dry out your skin, but its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. My skin type is NOT oily either. I would say I have pretty normal skin. After washing, it leaves your face feeling very clean, no residue. Works very well for the price. After using this product I do not think I will go back to any other cleanser thats not a bar. I ended up taking the advice of one of the other reviewers here. The bar was too big for my travel soap box, but I cut the bar in half, and put half in a zip lock bag to save for later.

Pros:

Size
Scent (None)
Harshness (None)

Cons:

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

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

Pros:

It does what its supposed to do, and the scent isn't bad

Cons:

it was very drying

combining this with dan's regimen at the beginning is not a good idea. It dried out place i wasn't even applying bp... i've had much better luck with the liquid version. However, for people who don't have a problem with dry skin, this would work just fine.

Pros:

Cheap,Works well with my oily skin,Can be easily found in stores

Cons:

None so far

I'm really surprised a soap bar is what is helping my acne considering that i have tried so many expensive alternatives. For the price i can not complain at all what this product does.

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.
