| Pros | -Clears pimples -Makes skin softer -Very gentle -Very mild -No fragrance |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Doesn't lather |
| Bottom line | This cleanser is AMAZING. I was prescribed this by my dermatologist and after a few months, my skin is doing fantastic.(Followed by Differin and Duac) It's effective. It might be a bit pricey, but for the size of the bottle, you'll get your money's worth. I recommend this 100%. |

| Pros | - Gentle - Gets the job done - Doesn't break you out - Non-comedogenic |
|---|---|
| Cons | - The price, I bought a 250ml bottle of it for $12.00 because I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not. The bottle that was the largest size, which I will be buying when I'm done with this bottle, was $16.00 which is a bit painful to buy for a facial cleanser. But It gets the job done. - It lathers up really well, for me anyway, but the lather feels awkward. |
| Bottom line | I would recommend this product for anyone with acne. I just use this, benzoyl peroxide then I moisturize and my acne has been clearing up really well. |

| Pros | Gentle, non-irritating, not drying. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Does not remove make-up well. |
| Bottom line | I prefer using gentle soaps instead of ones normally marketed towards acne-prone/oily skin. I find that those soaps just irritate my skin and cause more inflammation, making my acne even worse. This cleanser is very gentle and does not over-strip my face of natural lipid barrier. |

| Pros | -None that I can think of. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Doesn't lather, its got a very awkward consistency.. -Skin doesn't feel clean after washing. -Hasn't made a bit of difference to my face. |
| Bottom line | I've been using for about 2 weeks. I hate how my skin doesn't even feel clean after washing it. & it hasn't made my acne any better at all. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | -No weird smell of the sort -Clean feeling -Does not dry out skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | -No tingly feeling |
| Bottom line | It's a perfect cleanser for people who breakout every week or so. It may just be me, but this cleanser is the best thing that I've ever come across. Although it doesn't have that somewhat refreshing sensation when you apply, it does the same and even better. I highly recommend this to anyone with light to moderate acne. |

| Pros | very, very light gentle non-irritating no fragrance no SLS; does not foam (which is good because that's strips and dries out skin) i recently discovered a Canadian store brand (Life brand) that is only $10 per 200ml |
|---|---|
| Cons | expensive ($20 per 500ml in canada) contains alcohol does not seem to clear acne |
| Bottom line | I love this product because it is the only cleanser I've tried that does not irritate my skin.. Although the lack of foaming action makes it a tad harder to apply, it does glide on fairly easily. I've noticed it to be the slightest bit drying, but moisturizer takes care of that. The cleanser does wonders for the parts of my face without acne (my acne is all in the t-zone, and on either side of my nose) but does not seem to clear (or worsen) my acne. BOTTOM LINE: This cleanser is not the best for acne, but it does not worsen or aggravate it. In terms of it's performance on the parts of my face without acne, I would give it 5/5 stars. |

BP from St. Louis
November 1, 2010
| Pros | -Very light and (as the name suggests) gentle |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Does not lather |
| Bottom line | If I didn't have to shave, I would probably always use this cleanser. It is very gentle yet still leaves the skin feeling clean. It just doesn't lather and thus can't effectively be used to shave. |

| Pros | No Smell Easy to rinse Inexpensive |
|---|---|
| Cons | NOTHING |
| Bottom line | I used this for about a month now- It's literally the best product I've ever bought. I was skeptical because it doesn't "foam up" or make suds like many other products- you merely apply in circular motions and rinse! I've tried so many different regimes and now- I wake up and wash my face with cetaphil and then get on with my day. I don't even apply moistroiser anymore! At night I repeat the process! I literally use nothing else accept cetaphil! Honestly- just try it because its cheap enough that if you are unsatisfied you can move on to something else! |

| Pros | No scent. Not drying. Gentle enough. Minimizes breakouts. |
|---|---|
| Cons | expensive |
| Bottom line | I'm glad that this product worked to me! Never had any major breakouts since I used this (no BS). This is the best cleanser I've ever used that freed me up from breakouts! |

| Pros | makes skin softer, helps with redness, does not irritate my skin or cause further breakouts. has helped my acne alot. |
|---|---|
| Cons | none |
| Bottom line | I started using this about 3 weeks ago, and I love it. I have tried pretty much every acne wash known by man, including proactiv, neutrogena, acnefree, EVERYTHING. Also, bp and salyclic acid does nothing for my acne other than make it worse. After trying everything, I finally bought Cetaphil, and I must say I am really glad that I did. I wash my face with this in the morning and my face does not get oily for the rest of the day. I also use it at night because my face tends to get very oily at night, but using this, I can rest assured that my skin will not be crazy oily when I wake up. Everyones skin is different, but for me and my skin, this stuff has worked wonders and I am so glad that I bought it. |
