Pros:

rids face of ALL oil, removes makeup easily, washes completely clean with no residue, doesn't interfere with acne medication, smell is bearable (I don't find it as repulsive as others seem to)

Cons:

NONE!

I have been using this soap since the 4th grade (about 18 years!), and I could not live without it! Whenever I go on vacation I leave a big reminder note on the bathroom mirror so I don't forget my favorite face soap. My father's dermatologist had recommended the original Neutrogena bar soap when he was younger, and he was the one who got me started on it. I developed acne at a very young age, and here I am almost 30 yrs old and I STILL get breakouts if I don't use this soap consistently every morning and night (I also wash w/it in my ears!), and I have the oiliest skin you've ever seen (10 minutes after I wash my face and you can actually see the little beads of oil forming on my pores...yuck. who needs a mirror when you have my forehead to look into?). Neutrogena bar soap is the ONLY face soap that makes my face feel totally clean. I also use the Neutrogena acne scrub in the shower, and this plus the occasional dab of benzoyl peroxide keeps me from having breakouts.

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.

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:

It worked!! In like 1 week. I used it on my arm. Now I'm going to try it on my face.

Cons:

dries out my skin, but 20 minutes later my oily skin is back to normal, so I don't use a moisturizer.

I actually tried this product on my arm. I'm not sure if the bumps on my arm was acne. It think it was from an allergic reaction to soy food. Anyway, the bumps looked absolutely terrible. About 20 somethin' bumps all in one area. The bumps had dried and went down a little the next day. But I apply the soap directly to my skin and leave it on about 10 minutes before I rinse it off. I used it about 3 times a day as well. It really worked. Now that it worked flawlessly on my arm, I just started trying it on my face today. I hope the results are just as good!!

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
