Pros:

It's affordable, has no fragrance, easy to use.

Cons:

- Contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, a known irritant
- It irritated and dried out my skin even more(I have dry skin)
- Acne got worse

I was one of the unlucky ones, I guess. Try it out for a week or so to see if your skin reacts badly to it. My skin started getting worse approx. 1 month after using this product. Before that, there wasn't much change at all. I ditched this for Olay Moisture-Balancing Foaming Facewash and it works much better [for me].

Pros:

Is very gentle, mild, and non-irritating. And, it is fragrance-free.

Cons:

It does not provide a deep down cleaning of the skin. As,it is simply to mild for that. I have had a love/hate relationship with this product for years because I do have combination/oily skin. However, I still do keep it around for useage purposes.

This product is okay. It doesn't provide a deep down clean, which alot of people may find to be bothersome. However, it isn't one that I probably will 100% give up on. As, I do use topical acne products and it is mild to my face. So, it is something that I like to slip into my regimen every now and then (especially when it is cold out).

Pros:

It is very light and it keeps face moisturized.

Cons:

It didn't do anything for my acne. I actually think it made it worse. And I don't have super oily skin. I have combo. But it's always worth a try to see if it works for you!

Didn't help acne for me :(

Pros:

Amazing for dry, sensitive skin. Cleanses but doesn't over-do it or dry the skin out. As gentle as a product can be. Great cleanser to use prior to using any type of treatment, medication or moisturizer. Calms my skin of most redness and irritation.

Cons:

The consistency does take a little while to get used to like most people are saying but it's worth it. Also for me it seems to leave a little film on the face which I don't like during the day so I only use it at night and it's fine by the next day.

I saw results on my dry, sensitive, flaky skin after just a few uses of this product. I was tired of irritating and drying my skin out with harsh products so I switched to this. It has been great so far. Also for the people worried about Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, it's literally 1% or less of a concentration of it, it's harmless in those amounts. I highly recommend this stuff, especially for people with dry, damaged skin. It's also excellent for winter. I use it in conjunction with CeraVe moisturizer and a healthy, skin care Diet and my skin is healing up very well.

Pros:

It seems to do the trick. I can't be entirely sure how well it's working, since a lot of it might be due to the antibiotics.

Cons:

Somewhat oily feel when I put it on. I use water with it. It's extremely expensive - it must be because it's shipped over here (New Zealand).

I have not tried it without water, and the idea that you only need a "pea sized amount" is new to me, so I'll try it. The price I gave is what it cost for 500 ml (about 16 fl. oz.).

Pros:

This product always leaves your face feeling soft and clean.

Cons:

does not get rid of acne and or other blemishes to the skin. Does not remove make up and stubborn dirt well or even at all.

I liked the way it made my skin feel, soft, moisturized, and refreshed but it almost made my acne worse so i switched to this stuff called basics its great.
