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:

easy to purchase, works somewhat, inexpensive

Cons:

none really

I have very oily skin (breakouts are very minimal) This soap doesnt do anything for the oil for me--within 20 minutes I am glowing. I have been using this for a few months now mainly because I dont know what else to try. Everything has to be purchased online--I cant even find Basis soap in drugstore and looking for all organic--forget it! Problem skin such as acne and oil sucks!

Pros:

Clean feeling

Cons:

Smells strange, Acne formed under my skin, didn't prevent anything

As so many people here have said, It makes acne form under my skin and that hurts. I also didn't notice any improvement in my skin. I think my skin was better before I used it.

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.

Pros:

dried most of my oil problem, makes me feel cleaner, prevents some of the pusy pimples.

Cons:

I feel like I'm getting more of those annoying little white heads that stay under my skin.

Unless it's because I pick at my face too much I can't seem to get rid of the little annoying whiteheads that don't come up to the surface of my skin (mostly around the bottom of my mouth and between eyebrows).

Pros:

It did work pretty well.

Cons:

The smell was bad. It... was TOO easy to use, it melted away easily and you could go through 1 block in like a week.
And after a day or two white... mouldy stuff started appearing on the bar!

It truly does work, but they could improve it in some ways. DEFINATELY with the smell and the quantity maybe.

Pros:

Gentle, yet slightly drying so you feel like you won't get a breakout anytime soon.

Cons:

The SMELL bothers me..and it can feel a little too drying for your face, but I can handle it--I have really oily skin. and DONT get this in your eye. It stings soooooooo badly.

This is a good general soap that makes my skin feel really soft, fresh, and smooth. I'm tempted to try the Purpose kind though because it has really high reviews...The smell(and thus taste, ew) is really bad so sometimes I have to hold my nose while im washing my face with it. But other than that it doesnt bother me so much. It's great for sensitive skin! But if you get it in your eyes, you'll regret it!
