Pros:

I have never use anything like this before you begin to see results in just matter of days...My skin was an even tone and i received compliments on my skin

Cons:

Depending on your insurance this product can be expensive...I noticed the price increase twice while using the product...

This is the BEST PRODUCT to resolve skin problems...I just requested another refill on my prescription...I use it twice daily once on the morning and evening oafter my workouts...Three during the week I will actually apply a light facial mask and sleep...the final results will speak volumes

Pros:

It works very well when nothing has work for me in years. I don't have really bad acne but I had tried every product out there perscription pills etc

Cons:

I haven't found any cons I use it every morning

This product worked the best for me out of several and I wouldn't give it up for anything. I am now pregnant and using it less because it hasn't been studied on pregancy yet but I plan to use it again once this is over. I'm also getting married and I couldn't do it without this product.

Pros:

I have used this product for ~5 years and it's the best stuff going. It consistently keeps my face clear. I consider PMS a different story, but even then, my face doesn't break out THAT badly.

Cons:

It is expensive, even with insurance. I do wish some long-term studies could be done to ensure that there are no other ancillary health impacts from using this for a long time.

I recommend it because it really works. My only issue is the unknown regarding any potential long-term health impacts.

Pros:

very soapy, seems to cleanse well

Cons:

drys out skin
smells strongly of sulphur
expensive

I don't really think this product does anything except to cleanse the skin. It is pretty good at removing makeup and preparing the skin for medication, but be careful, if you scrub too hard you will produce major drying!! It never did anything for my acne. I have mild acne and it was simply used to prepare my skin for Differin (also never worked that well and I seemed to grow immune after a little while). Smells horrible! You end up smelling sulfur all day and night once you wash with it. It costs a lot, even with insurance. I think over the counter cleansers are just as good so long as they don't contain any ingredients that are known to be irriating and cause acne (I have researched this long and hard and there are A LOT even if a product claims to be "Oil-Free" or "Non-Comedogenic." Not worth the price to simply cleanse/remove makeup and drying overall. Would not purchase again

Pros:

Awesome... cleared my skin up in about 1 day: I hope this keeps working too because I am getting married in August. I don't have BAD ACNE.. just a few stubborn pimples... and I'm so happy I got this product. I'm using Finacea gel as well at night

Cons:

Can dry my face out a little. But I think it's because I am using the Finacea gel as well. I always use the Cetaphil daily lotion for the face. I love Cetaphil too.. it's great and doesn't clog my pores!

This product really works. I used it last year and it cleared up my face. Then I stopped using it and I when I started getting pimples again I went to my doctor. I asked for Plexion and Finacea gel.. both seem to work fantastic. Pimples are so annoying and I really hope my face stays clear for my wedding. I also work out every day and I drink A LOT of water.. AT LEAST 8 glasses a day (depending on your weight). I'm also a vegetarian and I think eating spicy foods can aggravate my skin sometimes. On price paid it's what I paid for both the plexion and the finacea gel.

Pros:

Nothing else works for my skin. Everytime I use it, my face is flawless. I haven't had insurance in about 7 months so I've been without Plexion for a while. Because of that, my skin has been breaking out. Can't wait until my insurance kicks in!!

Cons:

It's a little pricey and you have to keep using it.

It is an incredible! I use the face wash and a moisterizer in the morning. I think it works well with all types of skin. I have dry skin but it STILL works for me. I've tried other products when I wasn't able to use Plexion and they NEVER WORK. Plexion is the best. I highly recommend this product. It is expensive but...you get what you pay for. It is worth it.

Pros:

Plexion is GREAT! Makes my skin very soft and smooth and cleared acne almost immediately. I have not had this good of luck with any other product - prescription or over-the-counter.

Cons:

Skin was dry and flaky (nothing extreme) for first 2 weeks. I was using twice daily and still continue to do so. No dryness now. Pricey - my copay is $65, but 12 oz seems to last for quite a while. Smell isn't awesome, but not terrible either.

Pros outweigh cons significantly. Plexion cleared my face beautifully. I hope it continues to work. I have noticed that if I do not use it in the a.m., then by that evening I can see some small bumps forming - but after washing in the evening it seems clear again. It's worth a shot!

Pros:

it may be good to use before you shave because it cleans your face extremely well

Cons:

the cloths are overdrying, doesnt seem to get rid of acne, its wayyy too over irritating leaving bumps on some parts of my skin eventually turning into acne, i would suggest not using it more than once a day

i would only use this once a day

Pros:

keeps me clear from acne, evens out and smooths out my skin

Cons:

just a little drying at times, but nothing serious

it's the best cleanser i have ever used and i always come back to this cleanser when i try other products that break me out. Especially now that I am on birth control, it has kept me clear because i usually breakout out on bcp but this cleanser hasn't allowed that. i LOVE it! And the generic version is really affordable, just $10!
