Pros:

My face never dried out. Always moist.

Cons:

This gel NEVER worked for me. I paid $116.00 for NOTHING. My face has never looked this bad. Not since High School. I will never buy this product again.

Terrible. I was talked into buying this product for over $100 and it made my skin WORSE!! I refuse to take my picture. I avoid cameras. It's embarrassing. I can't believe this product. TERRIBLE. I had better luck with Proactiv. Now, I'm using Arbonne. Hopefully, something will reverse the affects of Dermalogica. And just for the record, I used this product correctly. Following the instructions given to me by my dermatologist. :(

Life Changer
I've had mild to horrible acne that worsens hormonally each monthly my whole life, and this face wash changed my life. My face is so oily in some spots and dry in others, and this product completely cleans my face but leaves enough moisture so that my face doesn't over-actively produce excess sebum. My husband is so happy because I no longer go to bed with sulphur treatment dots all over my face... because it's completely clear! I really can't believe it. Everyone is different, but from a person who uses expensive make up, and has tried everything from Proavtiv to Differin gel, this stuff is a miracle for me.

Pros:

No Scent
Not Oily/Creamy

Cons:

Expensive

Nice cleanser that leave skin fresh and never really dry. If left on the skin for too long can become drying over time. No scent is nice, and the gel doesnt feel greasy

Pros:

Gentle
Cleared up some acne
Mild smell
Reduces redness
Lasts ages
Soft skin

Cons:

Dry skin
Expensive
Doesn't remove make up

Very gentle and has a mild smell, which is good for sensitive skin. It's a bit pricey but lasts for ages. Helped to clear some of my acne after a few weeks. Unfortunately it doesn't cleanse well enough to remove make up.

Pros:

Soft fragrance
Foams easily

Cons:

Caused severe breakouts

I never suffered from any breakouts and I only purchased this product to combat my oily skin. Within the three-week time frame that I used this product, my face broke out in very large, painful pimples that at first were isolated on my forehead, moved down to my nose, then around my chin. After I stopped using this product I had to aggressively treat my skin with BP for over four weeks to finally get my skin back to something that resembled 'normal'.

Pros:

I got it prescribed to me after saying i used clean and clear(which she had a go at me for using) so she gave me the travel pack to use for a month. It's great to use.

Cons:

If you stop using it, it will not work but i use every morning and night. It is expensive, but at least it works.

It's the best thing i have used. I would Recommended young people to use

Pros:

I would always get big paiful pimples on my chin and ever since i started using this facewash i have not gotten any!!!!!!! no other face wash has ever worked for me before.

Cons:

it can be a little pricey but it lasts forever! you only need to use a small amount when washing your face. i usually went through face wash every month and it has been 2 months since i started using it and i still have half the bottle if not more

BEST THING I HAVE EVER USED AND I HAVE HAD ACNE FOR 5 YEARS AND NOTHING ELSE HAS WORKED! WISH I FOUND THIS SOONER

Pros:

My face wasn't oily at all throughout the day. The cleanser is gentle enough for everyday use.

Cons:

I purchased the kit and one of the products makes my face itch. Nonstop.

If you're already on a skin system that works for you, stick with it. Switching it up like I did will only irritate your skin! 40 dollars isn't worth all this itchiness.
