Great for me, oily skin
I have very oily adult skin, and, like others, found this to make my skin feel oil free and tight after use, but not over-dried. It doesn't irritate me at all, although will temporarily burn the eyes if you get soap in them (when I do this, the burning dissipates quickly, unlike harsh cleansers which linger). I just use lotion at night and sunscreen during the day. Face feels less oily with sunscreen on too. Only face soap I'll use! Very affordable and accessible- available all over the US.

Pros:

It has been the best facial soap that I have ever used... If used daily out breaks are a thing of the past!

Cons:

I have to try 2 or 3 locations before I can find it in stock.

The fact that I have gone to the trouble to seek out a website for Basis, speaks volumes! I would be horrified if I couldn't find it in stores anymore!!

Pros:

Excellent soap, decent lather, fragrance free, cheap, easy to find

Cons:

Dries skin a bit, lather may not be thick enough for heavy beards

I have recently found this website and decided to try the regimen. I do not have a serious acne problem, only a few pimples and some red skin. Since using this soap, my pimples have gone away and skin has improved. It does dry the skin so I use some Cetaphil moisturizer. But I can find this locally, always keep a spare bar, and it's much better than the "guy" soaps that are overwhelming in fragrance or cause breakouts.

Love but can only use 1x a day
I bought this soap because it is fragrance free and I've read good reviews. I get mild acne on my chin and cheeks and this bar made my face smoother, softer and brighter and cleared up most of my acne. I did find that it was a little drying, however, so I usually only use it once a day since I get lazy about moisturizing. If I use it twice a day I'll make sure to moisturize after so my skin doesn't feel too tight. It does not make my skin dry to the point where it starts to peel or flake though, just makes it feel a little tight. Also fyi the moisturizer I use is the acne.org one. It's the only one I've found that doesn't make me break out. I only use one pump of it, two like they tell you to use is too much for my face, and I always wash my hands before using it.

Pros:

Removes all make-up (even water-proof varieties). Is very mild, e.g. calms redness on my face (I have rosacea type II) and never causes any sort of sensory reaction, breakouts, or clogged pores.

Cons:

Drying in the winter or very dry climates (however, irritability is more important to me than how moisturizing a cleanser is). Fine for summer when it is very humid and skin is more oily in florida. Often hard to find locally.

Have used this for years (especially in the summer months) and have no complaints. It's mild, it cleanses well, and never causes irritation or breakouts for me. It's also cheap as can be. If you're frustrated over your ultra-sensitive skin and tired of searching for a cleanser (especially if the sulfate-based detergents in liquid cleansers do not agree with your skin), then skip all the other beauty bars and try this one first. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Pros:

Cheap, easy to find.

Cons:

Irritates and dries out skin. Clogs pores.

If you have sensitive skin, DO NOT use this soap. I doesn't "soothe" skin at all, thats just marketing. It turns skin red and itchy. No difference between this "sensitive skin" soap and my old Wal Mart brand facewash.

Pros:

Great at washing off all dirt and makeup. Also, helps to shrink pimples. I would highly recommend using this while on "The Regimen."

Cons:

Be careful washing off eye makeup with this. It burns terribly when in contact with the eyes. Also, if your skin is very dry, this will dry it out even more. Be sure to use a good moisturizer with this. Oilier skin won't have to worry about drying.

This soap is at a recession-proof price, it is very effective, and takes of makeup as well. You really don't even need to buy toners or makeup removers with this. Wonderful!

Pros:

Cleans, but not as well as other soaps

Cons:

Dried out my face after 3 days; Actually hurt after 4 days to wash my face; Didn't do anything for acne since I had to skip treatment for a day to let it heal.

Not worth using.
