Great!
I have tried many store bought products and this one works better for my acne prone skin than any of them, plus cheap to buy! Use with a moisturizer because it does cause dryness.

Pros:

it really clean oily skin perfectly leaving your pores breathing

Cons:

smell & dryness (this i discovered that to be due to excessive washing as it is resolved in water quickly)

do not rub it aggressively with water. this makes it harsh your skin as it resolved in water rapidly

Pros:

time tested, it was the cleanser my mom used in the 70s it works as well for me as it did her. i love the feel of the soap on my skin most cleansers i have used feel too abrasive this one avoids that uncomfortable felling.

Cons:

i guess the smell, but try finding something that works without an offensive odder

works as well as cleansers far more expensive, i have allot of skin issues this product addresses most of them but i still need a routine of three products the soap included. if you have sever acne there is no one magic cure. but for the price, this product more then delivers.

Pros:

Really cleans your face well

Cons:

Well, maybe cleans a little too well and your face is dry

Just by using this cleanser, my face has cleared up quite a bit. I haven't had any of those big nasty pimples since I've started using this and my exisiting red spots have gotten much smaller. I think if you used this in conjunction with some sort of quality moisturizer, you'll be good to go!

Pros:

clean face completely. takes off oil and leaves face feeling incredibly smooth

i was prescribed tazorac from my dermatologist (it worked) and i used this cleanser during the process. Bascially if you want clean, refreshed skin, use this.

Pros:

Smells like lavender, also has a nice appearance. It cuts oil without too much of a residue feeling that a lot of "facial bars" give you.

Cons:

Slightly drying, moisturizer afterwards is required.

Most people who have reviewed this I assume thought it was made for acne. It was not, this is a common mistake. This bar is a cleansing bar, it has an "Acne-prone" version which replaces some irritants with more soothing alternatives. Bottom line, I wash my body with this every other day as an alternative to other soaps that can cause other severe problems. After I get out of the shower I use a St.Ives lotion and I haven't had any problems what so ever. A+

Pros:

Used it for the first time last night, I like the way it made my skin feel clean without drying it too much. Smelled a little like Ivory soap to me.

Cons:

No cons so far, I used a toner after washing my face and my face wasn't oily this morning, it usually is.

I will keep using it, but as some people here have mentioned pimples under the skin, I will keep a close eye out for them. So far its a good product.
