Pros:

* Smells good [in my opinion]
* Softened my skin [made it look&&feel a lot smoother, plus it kind of softened or lightened up my acne marks.]
* Helps clear my breakouts
* Cheap&effective

Cons:

* At first it made my skin feel tight [moisturizer helped, now my skin feels fine]

I think it really helps. It doesn't break you out or irritate your skin, and it helps you feel fresh afterwards. It seems to be more effective than pervious facewash and cleansers I've used and it's gentle. Plus it's only a few bucks, nothing to lose really if you want to try it out.

Pros:

I have just been using it for almost a month now and I swear that it cleared my face of oil that causes my breakouts. I've never been more confident of looking at people with a clean, clear skin...

Very much recommended for all those who want to be a head turner...

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:

Smells good

Cons:

It produced more pimples, it dried my skin out completley, my is skin peeling all over my face including my eyebrows, made my face swell so bad that I couldn't even see my pores and I developed lines on cheeks. Not to mention when I woke up my skin was a bright red and I am a dark brown. It looked like I had big red stickers on my cheeks! It has been two days since I stopped using the product and my face is still tight from the drying of the product and I'm peeling more than ever.

I have always had very light acne and no scars on my face. After using this product for three days I have never saw my skin look this bad in my life! The thing is, is that I've used this prduct about a year ago and it worked wonders, but this time I don't know what happened. They must've added more ingredients. Here's a suggestion to Neutrogena if they get to read these reviews: Remove what ever is causing the drying of the skin or stop adding so much! You guys don't understand I'm embarrassed to leave my house!

Pros:

Removes all oils. Feeling clean.

Cons:

Clogged pores, caused more breakouts. Dry skin.

I recommend this soap for those who have oily skin but not pimple-proned. This soap removes all inside of your pores which is good but in my case, clogged my pores and causes more pimple to errupt on my face. If use regulary and for a long period of time might cause excessive dryness.

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.
