Pros:

Smells nice
Works great for shaving

Cons:

Slight dry skin
Sometimes hard to find. The last time I ran out, it took me weeks to find it at the usual places I shop.

I use this for shaving daily, then I apply 2.5% BP treatment afterwards. When I do run out of this and switch to Neutragena's normal (non-acne medicated) glycerin soap, my overall acne level more than doubles.

Pros:

Worked really well, cleared it up. I used this and it totally screwed my face! It became xtremely dry, red, peely. Then i peeled it all off and BAM no more acne! Amazing!

Cons:

takes a long time, smell is weird BUT bearable.

It works and you should try it! It's best used with teen acne, inflammatory acne, severe acne. If you use it with mild, light acne it might be a little TO harsh.

Pros:

I so love this product. Ive tried a lot of anti-acne soaps but this is the only soap that suited me. i should have discovered this earlier. before, i needed to go through salons for facial cleaning. now, after years of using it, my face is clearer.

Cons:

i dont see any!

try it! it really works!

Pros:

Gets rid of oily skin, works great and gently to get rid of acne. It rinses very clean.

Cons:

It has a mild smell...something sort of like cat food. But it doesn't really leave your skin smelling like that. And yes, it dries out your skin, but most cleansers do. You should always use a moisturer anyway.

I went through a battle with moderate acne for almost four years. I tried every home remedy, soap, or acne system, and some things lessened my acne, but it was never really gone. I started using this bar because I was sick of the harsh soaps and medications. I was so surprised when my acne started to disapear and my skin was less oily. It kept my skin clear and healthy-even during that time of the month. Now I finally feel comfortable going out without any concealor or foundation on. I don't have to cover up my skin anymore :) I have two tips for any users-Always use a moisturizer. Clean and Clear actually make some really great moisturizers. I use their Morning Glow moisturizer (and it has spf 15). Also, to keep your bar from "melting", keep it in a drier are of your bathroom; not in your shower or in a puddle on your sink. I'm still on my first bar, and I've been using it for almost a month. :D

Pros:

I have only been using a week and it cleared my skin. But I only have mild to moderate acne

Cons:

Drys out skin.Starting to get litte hardly noticable red itchy bumps.

Use a good moisturizer and you will be good to go.

Pros:

smells super good, doesnt try my skin out

Cons:

literally melts away in your hand.

I wanted to try a new bar soap and I decided to get this. To me, it smells like shaving cream and I love the smell of shaving cream. It's really cheap but doesnt work. It doesnt prevent any pimples at all, I keep getting more. I guess it cleans your skin but not that good. I will be going back to basis bar soap. It's the same price but works better at preventing pimples. Try it though, may work for you.
