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:

Makes your face "feel" clean
Cheap
Helps with small breakouts

Cons:

Smells horrible
Dries Your Skin a bit also i think this product gave me some pimples that are under the skin

Wouldn't use it, Neutrogena are a great brand and have MANY other products that have worked 10 times better.

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:

this is the basic bar soap for acne treatment!

Cons:

it might leave your skin somewhat dry.

i believe this is a good product its cheap 2 buy, it works, and it dont bother if you give it a try... If u say this product doesn't work, well maybe it doesn't with you, your acne is hopeless....

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:

Very strong

Cons:

Drying

I would only recommend this for people with extremely oily skin, as others have said. It is very strong, which can be great. On the other hand, it can dry out slightly oily or normal skin pretty bad. You have to be careful not to strip all of your natural oils, or your skin will just produce more oil than it did to begin with. It left my skin literally squeaky clean.

Pros:

Cleans case

Cons:

Dried out my skin, caused a burn under my eyes, stinging, redness and slight peeling. I left it for a long time before washing off. Does anyone know if this burn/redness will go away? jennifer.gardner@[link removed]

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+
