Cheap, inexpensive way to treat acne. No more harsh acne products. No inflamed skin from multiple types of chemicals, just smooth clean skin..

Pros:
  • I saw a complete difference in my facial acne in 24 hours. I have adult acne on my lower cheecks and this soap has really calmed down the new pimples and healing and drying out the old pimples as well.
Cons:
  • a bit drying, but using the cetaphil lotion which is non comedogenic, no worries of new pimples.

I have been suffering from acne for 4 years (since I was 19) and tried many OTC as well as prescribed products and none gave me good results, until about 3 weeks ago I bought this bar and my acne is almost completely cleared! I use it morning and night everyday, and I don't moisturize at night. And I have reaaally oily skin and this doesn't dry or irritate it at all. I can't believe something finally worked! Definitely recommend!!

I use the acne.org regimen and this is my go-to body bar. I use it every day and have not had any problems with dryness or irritation from the antibacterial ingredients. I love that it gets a good lather and leaves me feeling clean, while still being gentle enough for my face and acne-prone chest and back. Really a great product.

Pros

  • Smells nice
  • Good for face and body
  • Nice lather
  • Not overly drying
  • Antibacterial

Cons

  • A little melty
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

This is a great product for anyone with acne and/or eczema. I've used this product as long as I can remember and have always had clear skin, with the exception of one period of time. I accidentally switched to the gental cleanser by cetaphil. It turns out I actually have terribly acne prone skin, but the antibacterial cetaphil had always kept it at bay. After switching back to the antibacterial bar my face cleared up within a week.

I also have battled severe eczema my whole life. Cetaphil products are the only ones that don't cause flare ups. Bottom line- try it, it works!

I made a profile just to write this review. Hope it helps someone out there.

Pros

  • Clears acne
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Doesn't irritate eczema
  • Doesn't dry skin
  • Affordable

Cons

  • None
  • moderate
  • inconsistently
  • $ 4
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I have used MANY acne treatments in the past but this one is different. I used it for a month and it cleared up my face completely. I switched (which was a BAD idea) to Neutrogena stress control. Although I didn't break out it did make my face very irritating. Now I am using this product again (Cetaphil) and I am going to keep using it. We just has to remember that we do not have the same type of skin and therefore not every product will work. Patience is the KEY! Good luck to all.

Pros

  • 1. Does NOT dry my skin
  • 2. Gentle
  • 3. No more razer burn!
  • 4. Affordable

Cons

  • None yet
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 4
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

Pros

  • Helped clear my acne
  • very gentle
  • washes away make-up instantly!
  • leaves my face smooth and soft

Cons

  • the soap can easily melt
  • expensive
  • light
  • for about a year
  • $ 8
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I have been using this soap for about a month and a half. I have really noticed a difference in my acne. Compared to the other acne washes I've used (Acne.org cleanser, Neutrogena Grapefruit wash, Dove soap) I have noticed that this soap cleanser also really generates a good lather. A good lather leads to less touching to wash your face. I only wash my face for about 10 seconds and then i do 8 good rinses. I wash my face before bed and noticed if you don't use a moisturizer after you wash your face it wont irritate your skin as much, almost calming your acne in a way. I love this soap. I also wash my face with this when i wake up in the morning. Thats when i use a moisturizer . Im also using Tretinoin 0.025% gel and the combination seems to be working great. I would absolutely recommend this soap to anyone. Remember generate a good lather with it and only wash your face for 10 seconds or less. Your acne will calm after a couple weeks.

Pros

  • No Scent
  • Gentle
  • Generates a good Lather
  • Anti-Bacterial

Cons

  • None
  • moderately severe
  • for about a month
  • $ 4
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

  • Gentle
  • No scent
  • Cleans my skin
  • Doesn't leave my skin feeling dry

Cons

  • Doesn't completely get rid of makeup
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 4
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.
