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.

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:

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.

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:

It worked!! In like 1 week. I used it on my arm. Now I'm going to try it on my face.

Cons:

dries out my skin, but 20 minutes later my oily skin is back to normal, so I don't use a moisturizer.

I actually tried this product on my arm. I'm not sure if the bumps on my arm was acne. It think it was from an allergic reaction to soy food. Anyway, the bumps looked absolutely terrible. About 20 somethin' bumps all in one area. The bumps had dried and went down a little the next day. But I apply the soap directly to my skin and leave it on about 10 minutes before I rinse it off. I used it about 3 times a day as well. It really worked. Now that it worked flawlessly on my arm, I just started trying it on my face today. I hope the results are just as good!!
