Pros:

Works great
last long time
drys up pimples

Cons:

Dry feeling on face

This product is great! I started getting really bad acne on my chin and oil by the creases next to my nose. About 2 days after using this I noticed the pimple were drying up, and not much oil by my nose only thing I don't like is how dry it makes my face feel while using it after a shower ! But I totally recommend this product!!

Pros:

I have used this soap for a couple of years now, twice a day, morning and evening, best thing I have found for my rosaesa, I have tried prescriptions, lazer surgery and all, but this is the best for control of break outs and blisters.

Cons:

Sure it stinks and sure it dries, but use some Fruit of Earth vitimin E cream after faithfully. It is cheap and does the trick for the softest, smoothest, clearist skin around. Not all things work for everyone but give it a try and some time. Awesome

I think this works for most, don't mix with too many other products at first. It is drying, stings if it gets in your eyes and you need to put it in a separate plastic soap container so it dries out after each use to preserve the length of the bar lasting. All in all not to bad for beautiful skin and it won't break your pocketbook. Buy a new outfit instead of more face products. Far to many Salicylic acid products out there, skin care, shampoo etc. Loads of people don't realize they are probably irritated from these or allergic and get into cycle that further irritates their skin. Give it 30 days and use the right moisturizer.

Works surprisingly well
I received this as a sample gift pack in college. Rarely had issues. It's simple, and it just works. Use with a light moisturizer to protect against dryness and peeling. **UPDATE** This was effective in my early 20s/college days. But now at 29, I think this is actually a bit harsh for me. The skin around my jawline and chin has dried out significantly and is quite itchy. ONLY recommended for younger folks with very oily skin and in summer.

Pros:

My face used to feel oily all the time. Now it doesn't.It doesn't dry out your face.

Cons:

Your hands feel dry afterwards. And it may smell a bit weird to some people, but I like the smell, so...

This is a good product to prevent further acne. It does not work as a current acne zapper. Use this to wash your face with. Get your hands wet, spin the bar aroiund in your hands a bit, and then gently apply the lather to your face. Continueto make lather, though not as thick, until it is only water.

Pros:

great for oily, sensitive skin, clears breakouts.

Cons:

none.

i love this bar. i have tried everything out there. all the liquid soaps and cleansers that i buy make me break out or just leave my skin old and dry looking, red and irritated. all bar soaps clogs my pores. this is the only bar that keeps my oily skin looking healthy. i cant believe i used to spend 50.00 on a cleanser that was doing more harm than good. oily skin people should definitely give this a try. your acne could just be caused by using the wrong products. also try taking vitamins for skin, hair and nails. also i am taking omega 3 fish oil. keep skin makeup free and results will be seen. oh and i think essential oils are also a culprit to acne. i think they are to be used only by people with perfect skin already.

Pros:

It's a great product! My boyfriend has been using it for about a month and his skin is soo CLEAR. His grandmother has been using it for years. I just started using it, and I'm hoping it works as well for me, as it does for them!

Cons:

None.

It's a great product, buy it!! However, after using it.. do not put lotion (or anything else) on your face. Let it stay dry for a while, as your pores are wide open directly after washing.

Pros:

Gentle, Cleans very well, Leaves no residue

Cons:

Could care less for the scent, melts away easy

I use this for my body in the shower, it is the ONLY wash I have found in years to clear up my body acne. The key is to find something that will absolutely leave NO residue. I have had other body washes and they made me break out because they never got me fully clean because of the added body wash features they left behind. I even tried neutrogena's body clear body wash (yeah it helped but didnt clear it like this did). Bottom line, if your looking for a wash to clear away body breakouts, this sure did for me. Cleared up and dont see any new acne coming.

Pros:

It works really well. I noticed it started to work about 4 days after I started using it. I try to use it twicea day, in the morning and before i go to bed.

Cons:

It may dry out you skin but use Neutrogena Combination Skin Moisturizer after you wash your face with the soap and your skin wont dry out.

Use it I love it. Remeber the Combination Skin Moisturizer .
