Pros:This is a pretty good product, um have been using it for a while after looking at it here. I used to sue Clearasil but that was over drying my face way too much this barely dries it at all but feels ok.
Cons:I would say this is too gentle as well. I just saw they came out with one for normal to oily skin which I may try to see if it drys a bit more but to jsut get your pores clean this will do it. DOnt use it expecting your face to be all dry and hard it
Bottom Line:I would get it. If you have oily skin you might want to try the oily skin version and see if ti works.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Gustavo has used this item for a few months.

Pros:Very gentle on the skin; never leaves my skin feeling dried out; I love the pump bottle.
Cons:Have to wash my face twice each time when I'm wearing makeup because it won't remove it after just the first pump. Also I need to follow up with a toner after just to make sure I get all the makeup and dead skin cells off.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this cleanser to anyone who has problems with feeling super dried out after washing their skin. I've tried many different kinds of cleansers, this one is my favorite. Best to follow it up with Cetaphil moisturizer as well.

Pros:my skin really does feel cleansed! good job cetaphil
Cons:ive only used it for a few days so i cant really say anything bad. all i can say is that my face not only is starting to look clearer but feels clearer and cleaner! i wasnt too crazy about the way the bottle looked u need a new design lol.
Bottom Line:after reading all of the reviews on this product i am going to continue to use the whole bottle ive only used it for about 2 days and it feels good. at first it felt i was puting hand wash on my face and i wasnt sure it would work but my skin actually does feel clean. i was dying to try proactiv but ive heard very good reviews on it and then very bad reviews on it and it way too expansive mann! are they crazy 40 to 60 dolars a month on skin medication. even it works i dont think it would be the correct thing for me because ive never had bad acne in my life but i have very small whiteheads on my forehead and im going to give cetaphil a try. i believe cetaphil can work and since its such a great cleansing cream they should wild with it and come up with very good acne medications to take proactiv out of business but dont make it too expensive! well anywho i realy like cetaphil i bought it cuz i heard about it from a magazine.

Pros:Very mild, great for sensitive clean. Cleans well for those without oily skin.
Cons:Doesn't feel clean after using it. Doesn't lather well.
Bottom Line:This is a great cleanser for those with sensitive or normal skin. However, I believe it's TOO gentle for those with oily skin. From personal experience, it cleaned well except for those bad days where my face was especially oily. Also, it hardly lathers at all, but I guess that's just personal preference.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Cetaphil has totally helped with my acne. My skin looks more even and toned. It is gentle, non irritating.
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I cleanse with Cetaphil twice daily, follow up with witch hazel as a toner and use Olay with SPF 15 for my moisturizer. My skin hasn't looked this good in a long time!
