Pros:It really makes your skin feel FANTASTIC after using it as well as making your skin look clean!
Cons:There seems to be an ingredient in it that forms new pimples in less than 24 hours.
Bottom Line:The product makes you feel fantastic but after using it less than a day before my face now had 2 large bumps on my cheek that were red and extremely prominent.However the cleanser that comes in the lotion form is really good.
Recommended:No
Usage:kevin has used this item for about a week.

Cons:The scent is a bit stronger than I would like, but it doesn't seem to irritate my sensitive skin.
Bottom Line:Overall, gentle yet affective.

Pros:Cheap.
Cons:Dried my skin out and made it itchy.
Bottom Line:This did not work well for me at all. When I used it, it did not rinse cleanly (even with a facial srubby pad) and it dried out my face and left it feeling "chalky". After I put on moisturizer, my skin still felt dry and itched all day. I have oily skin that is also sensitive so it is nearly impossible for me to find a good cleanser. The closest I've come is Lush Fresh Pharmacy, which has calamine in it which soothes skin, and it also takes most of the oil away. However, as with all Lush stuff, it's EXPENSIVE and I was hoping Cetaphil would be a cheaper alternative. Oh well.
Recommended:No
Usage:Samantha has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:Lathers good, rinses easily, I even like the smell, seemed to help keep skin moisturized.
Cons:None
Bottom Line:People, This doesn't get rid of acne. That's not what it's intended for. It doesn't even say it does.It's just a gentle cleanser to prepare your face for the real acne killer, BP. I would highly reccomend this!
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Lathers very well, easy to shave with, no left behind residue.
Cons:Expensive(like $10USD in Mexico)
Bottom Line:Since I can't buy any of DKR's products I was looking for an over-the-counter cleanser that would be very gentle with my face. With the reviews I found about the Cetaphil Bar, I decided to give it a try.
It's just perfect for me! I've been using liquid cleansers with BHA to exfoliate my skin, but even with moisturizers my face was extremely dry and itchy.
Now washing my face with it was the most important thing I did. I have some usual breakouts, but not as often as usual, and it happens when I don't wash and/or apply BP on my face.
Very good bar, specially when you shave!
Recommended:Yes

Pros:After my skin got really irritated from the Neutrogena Acne Body Scrub, I tried this. I noticed a big difference in my chest and back area at first, but as I continued, I kept breaking out normally. It does leave your skin smooth though.
Cons:It didn't do that much towards my breakouts.
Bottom Line:Everybody's skin is different, so try a few different products and see which ones work best for your skin.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:I started using after using Pro-Activ which had made my face super irritated, this was a gift from heaven. It is super gentle, takes makeup completly off and very easy to use
Cons:none, it's great!!
Bottom Line:The main thing in Dans regimen is to be very gentle with the face, no hard rubbing. And this allows you to do just that but still leaves your face feeling clean and fresh in preparation for the BP or any other treatment. This product in it's self is not inteded to treat acne. It only preps the face for the treatment YOU MUST use afterwards. Plus clears bacteria (If you use the anti-bacterial bar)Buy it at Walmart, that's where it's cheapest
Recommended:Yes
Usage:MONICA has used this item for a few weeks.
Price Paid:3.99
