Pros:

Cleans, but not as well as other soaps

Cons:

Dried out my face after 3 days; Actually hurt after 4 days to wash my face; Didn't do anything for acne since I had to skip treatment for a day to let it heal.

Not worth using.

Pros:

Very cheap, large amount for the price you pay, fragrance-free.

Cons:

Dried out my skin.

For a soap that says it's for sensitive skin, it dried out my face and made it feel tight, even after I applied moisturizer. The packaging also says it's non-comedogenic, but it contains lanolin and beeswax, two ingredients that I suspect, from using other products with these ingredients, causes me to break out. I'm going back to Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar.

Pros:

It cleans your skin as well as a high pressure hose would.

Cons:

It is too freakin drying.

I would not buy this soap again...I'll stick with Purpose.

Pros:

Doesnt break me out, doesnt make me peel, lathers up well, smells nicely, doesnt sting my face when I put the bp and dans moisturizer on top

Cons:

peels a little bit after I wash my face

Normally when I use a facial cleanser that doesnt agree with me, I will break out from it the same day. Ive only been using it since yesterday (8/9/07) and so far I love it! I havent broken out from it and my face doesnt itch like most cleansers Ive used. The redness on my cheeks has already subsided. I just ordered Dans cleanser so Im gonna rotate between his cleanser, this bar soap, and maybe use Aqua glycolic a couple of times a week.

Pros:

Removes all make-up (even water-proof varieties). Is very mild, e.g. calms redness on my face (I have rosacea type II) and never causes any sort of sensory reaction, breakouts, or clogged pores.

Cons:

Drying in the winter or very dry climates (however, irritability is more important to me than how moisturizing a cleanser is). Fine for summer when it is very humid and skin is more oily in florida. Often hard to find locally.

Have used this for years (especially in the summer months) and have no complaints. It's mild, it cleanses well, and never causes irritation or breakouts for me. It's also cheap as can be. If you're frustrated over your ultra-sensitive skin and tired of searching for a cleanser (especially if the sulfate-based detergents in liquid cleansers do not agree with your skin), then skip all the other beauty bars and try this one first. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Pros:

I have used basis products since the mid 80's. It's the only soap that does not irritate my skin but also keeps me from getting too oily

Cons:

finding it on a local store shelf. they are always out or do not restock

I just hope they never quit making this soap.
