Pros:

No fragrance. Lathers and cleanses well. Cheap.

Cons:

None that I can think of. Kind of hard to find, but usually because it's hidden among the billions of other cleansers and is packaged plainly.

I love the Basis bar... it's not an acne treatment but it is very gentle and cleanses very well. I use it with Benzoyl Peroxide and it works better than any of the expensive crap. I only moisturize in the morning and my skin isn't usually dried out unless I used the BP the night before. I have tried EVERYTHING and I will likely always use this cleanser- it seems to keep my skin pretty calm.

Pros:

lathers up really nice. I have very sensitive skin and this product doesn't irritate it as long as i'm sure to rinse it off completely.

Cons:

it's a bar, i use this all over my body, and a liquid soap would be easier and more sanitary than a bar of soap. that can fall down and pick crap up that you're rinsing off

good soap for entire body. If you have sensitive skin don't use any other body wash. use this and spray perfume or calogne on later if you want to smell appealling. My doctor always recomended this but i was a dumb kid that liked to smell good with the axe body wash, haha, should've stuck with this though. you live and learn

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:

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:

Cleared up my acne for a very short time, seemed to help with oily skin.

Cons:

After using it for weeks, i've been getting more whiteheads and blackheads than ever.. my acne seems to burn. (Which never used to happen) Didn't seem to work after awhile.

It's a really cheap product, so it's worth a try .. but for me, it just seemed to make everything 10x worse.

Pros:

I had heard alot about this product so I thought I would give it a try.

Cons:

I didn't like it. I don't like the smell, or how it is hard to wash off. Also, to anyone who is animal product conscious, this product has animal fat by product in it (sodium tallowate)

My acne has seemed to spread from my chin only to under my nose and a little on my nose since using this. I have cystic acne.

Pros:

Clears up pimples. Gentle. Affordable. Easy. Clears up pimples...

Cons:

Not one. Come on people! Any soap in your eyes is going to sting!

I LOVE BASIS. After year ten years of having several zits all the time and trying everything under the sun including Proactive, to no avail, I finally gave Basis a try at a friend's recommendation and only after giving up hope. It changed my life! If I use it twice a day, my skin stays clear. In rare times that I do get a zit or two, consistency with Basis and dabbing on a little tea trea oil clears it right up.

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!
