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:

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.

Cons:

i guess that it works for oily skin types, cheap.

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:

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:

great for oily, sensitive skin, clears breakouts.

Cons:

none.

i love this bar. i have tried everything out there. all the liquid soaps and cleansers that i buy make me break out or just leave my skin old and dry looking, red and irritated. all bar soaps clogs my pores. this is the only bar that keeps my oily skin looking healthy. i cant believe i used to spend 50.00 on a cleanser that was doing more harm than good. oily skin people should definitely give this a try. your acne could just be caused by using the wrong products. also try taking vitamins for skin, hair and nails. also i am taking omega 3 fish oil. keep skin makeup free and results will be seen. oh and i think essential oils are also a culprit to acne. i think they are to be used only by people with perfect skin already.

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!
