Pros:

Makes skin feel and look soft, reduces redness, removes makeup, affordable.

Cons:

None!

After just a few days of using this product my skin feels so much smoother and looks a lot healthier. In just two washes it reduced the redness where my skin was irritated. It removes all makeup very nicely and moisturizes my skin but doesn't leave it looking oily and shiny.

Pros:

Doesn't dry out skin, gently cleanses and removes dirt/oil/makeup, evens out skins color/texture, scent-free, great for use every single day, and I can buy it at the grocery store next door!

Cons:

none so far :)

If your skin is sensitive to scents and soaps, this product is great. It cleared up my acne quickly, and it makes me feel so good about my skin that I don't even need foundation anymore :)

Pros:

Cleans very well, nice foamy lather, not drying, very mild

Cons:

None! :)

I have been searching for the perfect cleanser for my extremely sensitive skin for years now. I've tried all the "gentle" ones; purpose, cetaphil, spectro jel, etc. When I bought this I was expecting to be disappointed. However, I was shocked! My face is no longer dry and flaky and my acne is slowly starting to clear up! The redness in my cheeks is also starting to go away. I also really like that it foams but is still gentle enough for my skin.

Pros:

non drying, ance control, redness control

Cons:

none!

It clears out skin during the first few days, so yes, new pimples form. However, this wash takes away pretty much all of the redness of pimples, so you can barely even notice them! And this keeps your skin hydrated, my skin feels silky smooth.

Pros:

not too pricey
nice packaging
very little fragrance

Cons:

Doesn't completely clear acne

I really love Olay Foaming Face wash for sensitive skin because it does what it promises: washes off dirt and makeup while leaving your skin feeling soft and clean. This is a perfect face wash for anyone that is also using topical treatments at night such as benzoyl peroxide or retinol. I am giving this product 4 out of 5 stars because unfortunately it does not completely clear my complexion.

Pros:

cleans skin
removes makeup

Cons:

doesn't really help with acne

I love the regular cleanser of this, but the sensitive one doesn't seem to do anything for my skin. I'm going to switch back to the one for All skin types.

Great and cheap face wash
Before I used this face wash I was using CeraVe for normal skin. I always thought my skin was oily, so I always used face washes that were for normal to oily skin. I went home to Ohio for Thanksgiving and my face was so tight and dry, I couldn't stand it. So I went out and bought this face wash and was pleasantly surprised. Way cheaper than CeraVe and it didn't make my face feel dry. Definitely a good product for me.

Not great for my skin
I decided to try this after reading the reviews about how it's similar to Acne.org's cleanser, but Olay's should be less drying? I found after a few washes and a couple of days, it felt like it was leaving a film on my skin. I also started to get some small breakouts appearing (cheek area) so combining that with the "film" like feel, I'm not impressed. I did like that it had no scent at all and the consistency was great and foamed well. I don't think it was cleaning my skin/stripping the oils off my skin as well as Acne.org's cleanser, unfortunately. But I think it's worth a try if you find Acne.org's cleanser a bit drying.
