Great!
I have tried many store bought products and this one works better for my acne prone skin than any of them, plus cheap to buy! Use with a moisturizer because it does cause dryness.

Pros:

Smells nice
Works great for shaving

Cons:

Slight dry skin
Sometimes hard to find. The last time I ran out, it took me weeks to find it at the usual places I shop.

I use this for shaving daily, then I apply 2.5% BP treatment afterwards. When I do run out of this and switch to Neutragena's normal (non-acne medicated) glycerin soap, my overall acne level more than doubles.

Pros:

Visibly reduces acne. Extremely inexpensive. Easy to use while in the shower.

Cons:

Does not completely clear skin.

At the time I used this my acne was moderate. It did not reduce 100% of acne but this has so far been the most effective product I have used, but I am still looking for the treatment for clear skin.

Pros:

* Smells good [in my opinion]
* Softened my skin [made it look&&feel a lot smoother, plus it kind of softened or lightened up my acne marks.]
* Helps clear my breakouts
* Cheap&effective

Cons:

* At first it made my skin feel tight [moisturizer helped, now my skin feels fine]

I think it really helps. It doesn't break you out or irritate your skin, and it helps you feel fresh afterwards. It seems to be more effective than pervious facewash and cleansers I've used and it's gentle. Plus it's only a few bucks, nothing to lose really if you want to try it out.

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+

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.
