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:

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.

January 22, 2008

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, 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 affordable

Cons:

gives a clean tight feeling to facial skin

I have been using this product for 5 days now and my skin looks and feels much better. This soap does dry you out slightly, I just have to follow with a moisturizer.

It works really well. I noticed it started to work about 4 days after I started using it. I try to use it twicea day, in the morning and before i go to bed.

Cons:

It may dry out you skin but use Neutrogena Combination Skin Moisturizer after you wash your face with the soap and your skin wont dry out.

Use it I love it. Remeber the Combination Skin Moisturizer .
