Pros:

Made my skin appear smooth

Cons:

My whole entire face turned red after the 2nd use this morning, i used it for the first time last night. I believe it was an allergic reaction maybe? It is still red now. After cleansing my face this morning it was dry afterwards.

I bought this bar based on these reviews that i read 2 nights ago. I am very disappointed that this did not work out for me because I had high hopes for basis.

Pros:

Cleanses well
Very Inexpensive
Lathers well

Cons:

Drys out skin

I bought the Basis bar when I began the Regimen. Several bars later (and quite a bit of time on the Regimen) My skin was still dry, flaking & cracking! I switched to Cetaphil and in one day fixed that. I have ridiculously sensitive skin. This bar is a great basic cleanser. I followed Dan's Regimen religiously and I did see significant changes in my complexion. However my face didn't begin to heal completely until I made the switch! If you're skin chaps easily I wouldn't suggest this bar - but if you aren't hyper sensitive like me ;) It could work well for you!

Pros:

soothing, not drying, great for acne prone skin, cheap/good quantity

Cons:

none really

I really like this bar! It's great for acne prone skin. Sooths inflammed skin, and seems to reduce redness. It isn't overly drying. It's got to be dermatologist recommended for a reason....and it's very cheap. Not all products work for all skin types, but I would almost bet this one would does....it's great, give it a try! Good luck!

Pros:

Not overly drying. Helps leave my oily skin balanced.

Cons:

none so far.

I've been switching off between Basis bar and Purpose. I noticed the Purpose worked well at first, but eventually it dried my skin out and made it red. Basis isn't overly drying so it leaves some oil on the skin which is a good thing if you produce too much oil like myself. Some cleansers for oily skin make my skin produce too much oil and irritated it. The basis bar seems to be somewhat calming to the skin as well.

Pros:

Really great product. Its really gentle and I think its helped alot of the daily breakouts I was seeing

Cons:

A little drying, no more than some other products. I prefer a liquid to a bar.

Much better to use than some of the other more expensive products.

Pros:

It is awesome. I highly recomend it! It is gentle on my skin, and after using it my face feels clean all day long. It's also incredibly cheap and a way better option then a more expensive face wash.

Cons:

None!- exept it smells kind of funny, but I got used to it quickly!

Buy It. I promise you'll love it!

Pros:

Cleans really well, great lather, I use it as a body bar in the shower w/ a loofa. One bar lasts a really long time.

Cons:

Can be drying on the face, so I don't use it on my face too often.

I really like this, it has cleared up my body acne. It leaves my skin feeling very smooth. I am very comfortable using it every day, and it's one of the few products that I keep buying (instead of feeling the urge to try something new). I really don't use it on my face that often due to the fact that it is dries me out. But occasionally if I want to feel really clean I will use it on my face.

Pros:

IT'S UNEXPENSIVE, EASY TO FIND FOR ME, RIGHT AT THE GROCERY STORE

Cons:

ONLY IF THEY'RE OUT OF STOCK WHEN I NEED IT!

I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING MODERATE TO SEVERE ACNE FOR MANY YEARS. I AM 36 YRS OLD, AND AFTER THE BIRTH OF MY SON WHO IS GOING TO BE 16, MY SKIN WENT CRAZY! I HAVE TRIED EVERY PRESCRIBED REMEDY, OTC PRODUCTS, DIET CHANGES, PROACTIVE, THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS KEPT MY SKIN CLEAR! USE A FRAGRANCE FREE MOISTURIZER AFTERWARDS, AS SOMETIMES IT'S A LITTLE DRYING, BUT THIS IS WHAT WORKS!

Pros:

Leaves your face clean, smooth, and soft.
Very affordable
Lasts forever and very gentle on skin

Cons:

Slow to clear acne...May need to add something to it that's a little stronger. If you have sensitive skin, don't try that.

I use this product with Dan's BP, and CeraVe Moisturizer. If you want a clean feeling afterwards, use this. I love the way it makes my skin feel. I may mix it with a dab of BP cleanser later on though.But its a really good bar. I love it.

Pros:

Clears and keeps acne at bay. Washes and rinses great. Smells great too.

Cons:

None for me!!!

The is the best face wash ever. Its nice and gental but powerful enough to clean and keep my acne under control. I use with ''The Regimen''. Unlike ever other products clame it really leaves you skin smooth, comftable, relaxed, and over all not IRRITATED. It may dry a little but with a good moisturize you will be perfectly fine.
