Pros:

makes my skin feel clean but not to dry. decreases the redness in my Irish skin. i can use it morning and night and my skin has just the right amount of oil on it.

Cons:

none. i don't have the sense of smell so to me it smells like air.

i love it. it has a great lather that feels so soft on my skin. instead of redness all over i just see freckles and skin.

Pros:

My acne cleared up dramatically in 2 days after use. My face does not dry out and I actually started using less acne medication creams.

Cons:

Doesnt remove all of my makeup so I have to use a different cleanser for when I wear foundation

OMG I am stocking up on this soap. I would give it 5 stars if it could remove all of my makeup as well, but I would really give it a 4.5

Pros:

cleanses without overdrying
removes makeup well

Cons:

medicine-like odor

My skin has become quite dry and sensitive since using Spironolactone; I had to ditch the acne washes and find something specifically for dry skin; this does the trick! Cleasnes without overdrying. It's the perfect solution.

Pros:

-Does an excellent job cleansing the skin
-Feels great on the skin while cleansing

-Mild dryness after using it

Perfect for cleansing your face. Use it morning and night. My dermatologist also says it's probably the best facial cleanser to use.

Pros:

cleans very well, maybe a little too well

Cons:

stripped my skin dry, smells a little strong, i didn't like the texture of the product on my fingers, very hard to lather, made my skin feel very tight

bottom line is that i'd use this bar only as a last resort.

Pros:

Cheap, removes oil without drying, great for long term use as your skin changes with age.

Cons:

Not easily portable for traveling

I've had mild to moderate acne for almost 15 years and have tried many of the products on this site at one time or another. I wish I found this product sooner. It removes oil without over drying. I've never had a problem with redness or irritation. My skin feels comfortable. The other cleansers by this brand were either too drying, or left too much oil, but as Goldilocks would say, "This one is just right". Keep in mind, it's a cleanser, not a cure.

Pros:

Doesn't clog pores
Smells good
Helps with acne
Leaves skin smooth and clear

Cons:

Doesn't remove all makeup
Can dry out skin

I have bought this product yesterday and already saw a drastic change in my face. The troublesome whiteheads on both sides of my cheeks that were purging red decreased in size and redness. This bar smells good, helps clear up acne, doesn't clog your pores, and leaves your skin smooth and clear! I'm going to continue using and buying if effectiveness doesn't wear off.

Pros:

Gives skin a nice looking tone.
Quick and easy to use
nice smell
comes in bar form

Cons:

surprisingly dries out my face, but everything does

I use to use proactiv for years. I became really sick of the amount of time it took, and i was convinced that it was giving me more acne. This bar has worked pretty well. Hasnt completely cleared everything up, still a pimple or two. My favorite part is the ease of using it, probably because I came from the 10 min long proactiv nightmare.

Pros:

great overall face soap, good for sensitive skin, lathers really well

Cons:

its a bar?

I have used this face soap for years and love it.. I just recently figured out how well it lathers. rub the bar in your hand for a while and then really rub your hands together and feel the lather.. the lather is so soft and seems to clean my skin a bit better. it cleans my makeup off well, doesn't make my skin feel dry like most other things i've tried, makes my skin pretty soft... overall, great soap.

Pros:

gentle
smells great
gets my makeup off
tightens skin, which gets clears my pimples

Cons:

very drying, which is weird cause its for dry skin

i love this. i'm a picker. i pick my pimples and make them bleed and scab. this is a miracle. its not only clearing out my pores and stopping new pimples, but its making the scabs i still have and the open ones heal seriously quick. the only thing i dont like is that i have seriously dry skin and this is seriously drying. considering its meant for dry skin...idk. its worth it. a moisturizer does the trick. so great. im forever with cetaphil!
