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:

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:

lasts a long time, easy to use, relatively cheap

Cons:

didn't do anything to help at all

i've used this soap for a while, and although it didn't dry out my skin as other products did, it has done absolutely nothing to help my acne and it has actually made my skin less smooth. it's even made me break out a little more; i've never had blackheads or whiteheads but i have pustules and so i don't know about the other ones, but it hasn't helped me at all.

Pros:

My face used to feel oily all the time. Now it doesn't.It doesn't dry out your face.

Cons:

Your hands feel dry afterwards. And it may smell a bit weird to some people, but I like the smell, so...

This is a good product to prevent further acne. It does not work as a current acne zapper. Use this to wash your face with. Get your hands wet, spin the bar aroiund in your hands a bit, and then gently apply the lather to your face. Continueto make lather, though not as thick, until it is only water.

Pros:

I have used this soap for a couple of years now, twice a day, morning and evening, best thing I have found for my rosaesa, I have tried prescriptions, lazer surgery and all, but this is the best for control of break outs and blisters.

Cons:

Sure it stinks and sure it dries, but use some Fruit of Earth vitimin E cream after faithfully. It is cheap and does the trick for the softest, smoothest, clearist skin around. Not all things work for everyone but give it a try and some time. Awesome

I think this works for most, don't mix with too many other products at first. It is drying, stings if it gets in your eyes and you need to put it in a separate plastic soap container so it dries out after each use to preserve the length of the bar lasting. All in all not to bad for beautiful skin and it won't break your pocketbook. Buy a new outfit instead of more face products. Far to many Salicylic acid products out there, skin care, shampoo etc. Loads of people don't realize they are probably irritated from these or allergic and get into cycle that further irritates their skin. Give it 30 days and use the right moisturizer.
