Pros:

Great Product. I got a facial a while ago and the specialist used this and I had to get it. Within a few days I noticed a decrease in oil and congestion. It feels so fresh and clean when I use it. Lemon and mint are great for your skin.

Cons:

No Cons

Great Product, a little expensive, but it is worth it. It helps reduce oil, redness, and break outs. When using it, apply to the face and rinse and repeat.

Great cleanser
Really good cleanser. Very different from anything I have used before with its thick texture. The minty/tingly feeling on your skin makes your face feel so fresh and that breakouts are being calmed down and that excess oil is being washed away. Still prefer the Special Cleansing Gel from Dermalogica but this is a close second.

For oily skin only!
For those on the oilier side, this stuff is great. I save it mostly for summer use. Good texture and super refreshing. Not recommended for those with dry skin though.

Pros:

Cleans well
Includes clay which is great for skin
Not too expensive
Not greasy
Doesn't leave a film behind

Cons:

Not for sensitive acne-prone skin
Irritating
Leaves bumps and redness

I have acne but sensitive skin in which will flare up if it doesn't like a product. I was recently told by a sales associate in Ulta that if you have sensitive skin, you should not be using this line even if you have some acne because it is like a step down from prescription products and is very irritating for sensitive skin. I took hr suggestion and bought B. Right by Benefit which is for all skin types and is gentle enough for sensitive skin and it was an overnight tranformation! Most of the redness was gone-it actually looked like skin again! All of the little tiny bumps and pimples that dermalogica left behind was almost gone! I liked this line but I guess if you just have some acne but are sensitive this is too strong for you. It is probably the most frustrating skin problem in the world because you want to get rid of your acne and congested pores but everything turns you red! Hope this helps anyone with the same problem!

Pros:

cleans good and leaves skin feeling fresh. did not make me break out.

Cons:

has harsh ingredients, parabens are one of them.

If you dont know what parabens are, google it. to make it quick its chemical that acts like "estrogen" a female hormone so that gets absorbed into your blood and can play with your hormone levels, can cause breast cancer and for guys well lets just say you wouldnt want more estrogen than testosterone lol. so I'm going all natural now, in search of a new organic product with no harsh ingredients.

June 10, 2008

Pros:

very very effective, basically got rid of oil in a couple of days ultimately reducing the little bumps casued by congestion or oil or whatever it was

Cons:

i wud consider it to be a lil pricey coz i bought it in a kit n it was only 50ml, worked out to be about AUD$10 for such a small bottle, but considerin how effective it is, i think its defnitely worth it.

you need to be careful with ur diet n limit ur intake of suagr n oil as well as at the same time use this product to get rid of oil on the face. i have a skin condition (seborrhea) dat is a result of too much sugar n fat intake from my diet, n my body is sensitive so the excess oil intake is reflected on my face. if im not careful w restrictin fat intake, my face can still get oily even wen i use this daily, but definitely not as bad as when i didnt use this cleanser at all and on the same kinda diet. its like, subway or healthy eatin habits r only most effective for weight control if u exercise accordingly at the same time. ie can't rely on one mesure or the other, for best results, always use a combo of various measures for things lik these. i found dat if i control my diet this product works most effectively. im usin it without oil control lotion n other oil controlin products, so if i had used a combo of these it mite work even better.

Pros:

feels very refreshing, dries up oil, not as harsh as proactive

Cons:

can be too drying, I don't think it will cure severe acne.

My skin is combination without major lesions, but I have some bumps all the time. I have come back to Dermal Clay after deciding Proactiv was way to harsh for me. This is just as effective for my skin, but feels so much nicer. It is about the same price per ounce as Proactiv wash. My cost is for the 16oz bottle w/pump. Best facewash I have used, but not a cure-all.

Pros:

It feels so GOOD. It's a nice consistency, deep cleaning, non-irritating, non-drying. Skin feels amazing afterward, sometimes I even consider not using lotion after

Cons:

Doesn't help acne really, but helps with blackheads and blocked pores.

I brought it on a trip and it squirted all over my toiletry bag...for some reason my mom was cleaning it off and she said her hand felts so good after
