Pros:

Inexpensive, Available in Mass Market retailers, Soothing, Works, Non-stinging, removes make-up and facial oils,

Cons:

None!

I bought this as it recommended by a Cosmetics guru/book I am reading. This specific formuation (the sensitive skin/yellow gel) is highly recommended for those of us suffering from acne as it does not contain harsh ingredients. Any cleanser that contains harsh ingredients will trigger your skin to produce MORE acne. This cleanser is not made to heal your acne as many previous reviewers seem to think, it is just made to cleanse your skin without irritating it. Please consider purchasing this wonderful product. My skin feels great. Thanks!

Pros:

nice bottle and dispenser

Cons:

Made my skin worse than before. The formula thats supposed to wash my skin just irritated it, made my skin dry, red and more pimples formed.

I bought this product because of the reviews here and I wanted to try a liquid washer. All I can say is do not buy this. It will make your skin worse and more irritated. I used this product for about 2 months and saw no positive results. Not recommended

Pros:

Cleans deep, doesn't leave residue, the fragrance is bearable, leaves skin feeling refreshed

Cons:

it can dry out skin sometimes, or cause breakouts where they weren't before. also, orange is an ugly colour..

i really like it, it clears up what little acne i have, and the bottle lasts a fair while!

Pros:

Does exactly what it claims to, smell in unoffensive and light, cost is great [bought at Wal-mart] lasts for a very long time since little is needed for a good lather and wash, not harsh on the skin and doesn't burn or irritate even raw blemishes.

Cons:

Bottle is not travel friendly/ pump does not lock, gel is a bit thick so be sure to wet your face and hands well so it lathers nicely, can still be a teeny bit drying at times.

Works great, I recommend it over the Acne.org one simply because you do not need to order it online and it is significantly cheaper. I bought it because I ran out of the previous cleanser [Clearasil Acne Clearing Gel Wash, which works great as well but just became too drying for my skin after a while] I was using and lately my old one had been way too drying. This one said "sensitive skin" and was cheap, what a great whim I went on that day. I saw, and felt, immediate results after the first wash. When used in moderation and rinsed off thoroughly this stuff is the best. I doubt I will ever be changing again. :) Also my acne is mostly light but fluctuates to moderate form time to time. Works on both.

Pros:

Does exactly what it's supposed to do, cheap, takes off make-up (even mascara) very nicely

I used this in place of the Acne.org cleanser, and I really like it. It's very gentle, but it works. I have never used it as an acne treatment, so I'm not sure what the results would be; I just used it before the Acne.org BP. It takes off make-up easily, doesn't leave a residue, didn't dry me out, and left my skin feeling very clean.

Pros:

Cleans well, does not cause breakouts, does not make skin feel dry

Cons:

I use a facial brush with this cleanser and together they remove my thick makeup really well. However, if I were to just use my fingers, it would not remove my makeup as well.

I used the one for sensitive skin while I was on Accutane, and I still use it today. I don't think I'll ever buy another cleanser again. It's gentle, but my skin always feels clean afterwards. I like how mild it is because I feel that harsh, abrasive cleansers will strip away the oils in your skin only to in turn, create more oil on your skin. This cleanser is simple, it's cheap, and it works well.

Pros:

Gentle on the skin. Didn"t dry out my skin.

Cons:

Didn't work for me at all. Doesn't reduce redness Used it twice a day till the bottle was empty and and I still saw absolutely no difference :(

If all you are looking for is just a simple facial cleanser that will take care of the mild breakouts and keep your skin looking nice, then this one is for you. But DO NOT buy this if you have severe acne of redness.

Pros:

very gentle no nonsense cleanser

Cons:

not travel friendly

I have used this cleanser on and off for probably 5 or more years. I like how after I wash with it my face feels clean; not oily, or soapy, just clean. It's not the best makeup remover for stubborn mascara but it's decent compared to other cleaners. I always have to wrap it up in a ziploc bag when I travel because of it's pump spout. I never had a problem with it leaking but why risk it. I've tried numerous facial cleaners but always come back to this one.
