I love Spectro and normally I use their blemish-prone version. I prefer the blemish-prone version to this one as I find it does a better job of cleaning.

I've been using this cleanser for years, it's by far the best one I've ever used. My skin is very oily, and this helps clear up that oil for the whole day. It does dry out the skin a little bit,...

I had used Cetaphil and Spectro Jel for Dry Skin (green bottle) before switching to this orange bottle. At first I was thrilled that it left my face more matte. And then I noticed I was getting a...

I have oily, acne-prone, acne-scarred, skin. Now you may be thinking "why the heck did you buy a cleanser for combination skin?" The answer to that is because I needed something that won't strip...

Unfortunately this cleanser is not for me. After only a couple days of using it, my face broke out in terribly painful acne (and in places on my face I'd never had acne before!). I used it for a...

This did nothing to help my acne, though it didn't make it worse. I thinks it's great for sensitive skin, it's gentle and non-drying and skin feels clean after but not tight.
