Pros:Light texture, affordable. Fragrance free. Gentle and does not irritate my sensitive skin.
Cons:Quite drying. Makes my flaking skin even worse after a few days.
Bottom Line:Minus the dryness, it's a rather good cleanser although it does not foams well at all. But I won't stick with it because it dries my skin quite badly.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Dayna has used this item for a day or two.
Price Paid:15.00
Acne severity:moderate

Pros:so gentle on my sensitive skin, it isn't a pain to use like some other cleansers, cheap, nice bottle, lasts a long time
Cons:no changes in acne, cheeks still get a little dry, oil production the same or worse, smells a bit--but its better than a fake fragrance
Bottom Line:perfect to throw into your regimen because it isn't strong so you won't be aggravating your skin...prepares well for treatment.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:krazzle has used this item for a few months.
Price Paid:4.00
Acne severity:moderately severe

Pros:Good for people who tend to turn red when using soaps; soothing; packaging is very generous
Cons:Must rinse well or it leaves a film (noncomedogenic, but annoying); doesn't lather at all, so you have to use more to spread it around
Bottom Line:Very easy on the skin and straightforward, although more of a later would be nice.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Willow has used this item for a few months.

Pros:Cleans without overdrying. Removes oil. Maintains healthy skin.
Cons:Doesnt fight acne directly.
Bottom Line:Great product. I am on antibiotics and topical retinoids, so this complements it perfectly. I do not need a cleanser with salicylic acid or bp so this is great. I have no need to apply moisturizer after using it, and I normally have very dry skin.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:-make ur skin not oily but not dry (the pimple i have dried out very fast)
-doesnt create new breakout
-quite cheap
Cons:-doesnt lather,thus i need to use a lot of amount
-unscented (may be a cons for some people,but for me its fine)
-pump bottle (difficult to travel with)
Bottom Line:I've tried a lot of other cleanser...
All those will make me have breakout,the difference between one n other is only less or more breakout...
But with this cleaser I dont have new breakout...
While the old one start to dry up...
usually my face very oily,but cetaphil make me less oily,yet not dry...
I can feel that when i wash my face twice in 1 times,with cetaphil my face doesn's have sting sensation,with other cleanser it'll hurt...
This product is highly recommended,it has only 1 cons for me which is no lather when u use it...This make me use much of this cleanse than any other...Yet the price isn't so expensive...
I think i can clear my face from acne with this cleanser...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Recommended:Yes

Pros:It works absolutely wonderfully on skin. For people with irritable skin, try this, you'll be very very pleased with the results. Feels great on your skin afterwards and leaves a lovely glow.
Cons:Packaging, it is a little annoying to pour out.
Bottom Line:For people who have sensitive skin, who have tried EVERYTHING to get rid of acne, try this as your face cleanser. It prevents acne as long as you use it consistently and frequently, with some acne cream. Truly an amazing product, cleared up my forehead pimples in a week!
