Pros:

Very Gentle yet effective, just as the advertisements say

Cons:

None

This cleanser works extremely well. I've been using this for about 3 weeks and the results are better than anything i've ever used. I hope that my skin continues to improve. On my skin, its very gentle, and does its job.

Pros:

Smells good
Feels clean, when my face is WET.

Cons:

Makes skin feel tight
Doesn't help acne
Dries out skin

It dries your skin like CRAZY. It made my cheeks read and itchy. I put moisturizer on my cheeks, where they were sore, and it started to sting like CRAZY. It went away, but I still feel sore.

Cons:

dryness
itchyness
cracking
inflammation
small blister like spots all over lower face and neck

2 uses and my face was a mess - I am assuming this is an allergic reaction to something in this particular product. I have never reacted so poorly to any face soaps and am not allergic to any known foods or products. Other salicylic acid products have not bothered me, so I remain unsure of what particular ingredient caused this. Discontinued use immediately and after 4 days my face has still not recovered.

Not worth your money. Doesn't clear acne at all.

Pros:

- can find in any and most all drug stores
- fair price
- gets rid of excessive oil

Cons:

- over dries you skin like the sahara desert
- formed new acne

My face became rough because this product over dried my face (there was no oil or even a drop of moisture remaining on my face) and because it formed many new acnes (even in places on my face where I wouldnt get acne). I tried using even a small amount like the size of a pea to wash my face, but this product was still too strong for my skin to handle.

Pros:

It dries out breakouts quickly, gets rid of excess oil.

Cons:

Have to use routinely, ALWAYS use with moisturizer or else it dries out your skin which leads to more pimples.

An effective product, which is affordable & helps calm down oily skin & pimples.

Pros:

At least is gets rid of oil.

Cons:

Leaves my skin EXTREMELY dry... to the point where I can see some skin "flakes" left over on my dermis every time.

This product is an extreme last resort... Don't get it! I've been using this for about three years now, since 7th grade and since then, nothing has changed. My acne is even worse now. T_T

Pros:

It left your skin soft and refreshed after using it.
It closed my pores right up! :D

Cons:

It left my skin insanely dry, itchy and split in places.
It was really itchy around my nose and chin and the side of my nose split a little. My face still irritated.

I've come to the conclusion that if this has made your face REALLY dry, don't use an oil-free moisturiser. I know from experience. It would work better for those with oily skin.
