Pros Cheap.
No scent.
Not drying.
Cons Too gentle, it doesn't thoroughly clean your face, you have to clean 3/4 times.
Doesn't remove makeup or sunblock easily.
No foaming action.
Bottom line I've tried this product a few times now and after recently using it whilst I waited for me usual cleaner to arrive from overseas, I can now confirm that this actually contributes to my break outs. I dont think it actually causes them or irritates them but I personally think its too gentle, as in it doesn't thoroughly clean your face, or at least you have to wash about 4 times before your face seems somewhat clean - and even then I broke out. I wish it worked for me becuase it is so affordable and sold in my county, but it doesn't.

Pros Easy to purchase - sold with pump from local chemist
No fragrance
Not harsh or stripping - very gentle
Cons Doesn't lather up
Bottom line Would highly recommend this product. Not a stand alone miracle product but this is a step in the right direction. I have used many different types of cleansers over the many years but this is one I'll stick with.

Pros 1.Skin is soft after one use
2.Skin feels clean after use.
3. Acne seams to be clearing up a little
4. Doesn't dry out skin
5. Does not smell bad
6. Inexpensive
7. Can easily find it in stores
Cons 1. To soon to tell.
Bottom line I have only used it for 3 days now, and while that seams as though it is to soon to tell, I immediately could feel improvement in my skin. It is more soft than it has ever been before and my tone has gone from blotchy to even. I have used it seams like hundreds of skin products to try and help and this seams to finally be the one.

As for ACNE: I have mild acne and have had it for years now, my acne is not completely gone, but it looks the best it has in a very long time, and like I said 3 days is to soon to tell.

I would buy this product regardless though because my skin feels AMAZING.

Pros -very gentle
-inexpensive
-big bottle last a long time
Cons -doesn't lather
-doesn't have that "effective" feeling
Bottom line i bought this from target for a fairly cheap price. i tried this after seeing many good review about it and it's been a week i've been using this. the result is quite good, my acne is decreasing slowly but surely, and my skin feels more fresh than before. the only i hate about this thing is that it doesn't lather well so putting it on my face kinda hard.

Pros Very Gentle
Doesnt break me out
Prevents Breakout
Reduces redness
Bottom line This stuff is awesome it is super gentle, and my skin is VERY sensitive, anything with sacylic acid will irritate it so I started using this and it soothes the skin and gives it a soft feeling. I love it

Pros Fairly inexpensive and seems to work well for a lot of people.
Cons Seemed to irritate my skin a little bit (it felt like a very mild burning senstation). I had been cleaning my face with an oil based cleanser for about a month and a half beforehand. Maybe my skin has become too sensitive for the chemicals in this cleanser.
Bottom line I would recommend trying this, because it seems like a good fit for a lot of people, but for me it probably will not see much use. I was looking for a very light cleanser to add to my oil based cleaning routine (to use every few days to make sure dirt was being removed from my face) but unfortunately this is not it.

Pros Gentle
No fragrance
Smooths skin
Reduces redness
Cons Doesn't lather-not that big of a deal.
Bottom line Although I've only been using this cleanser for a bout a week I've noticed that my skin is smoother and less red. I've used a lot of products and this is the only cleanser I've used that made the oil on my face disappear for basically all day. I've also noticed that the redness on my face is gone. I would definately recommend this to anyone with extremely oily skin and a lot of redness.

Pros -It stops breakouts
-It leaves skin smooth
-Inexpensive
-It really does WORK !
Cons -It don't feel like It cleans your skin
-I can't really tell if I washed it all off
-It don't foam
Bottom line Ive used cetephil the oily skin one for about 3 months. The results were slow, and I broke out 3 times during those 3 months. Then I ran out. I stopped using it for 2 weeks. I broke out 2 times during that time when I didn't have it. My acne went from moderate to moderatly severe. I though it was just how cetaphil worked. So I went to the drug store and bought the regular cetaphil. I was amazed that It worked better than the oily skin one. And really did clear my acne ! I love cetaphil. Its amazing ! I went on vacation for a week and forgot about the cetaphil. My skin stayed clear ! I Absolutely love cetaphil ! Its amazing.

Pros gentle, repairs your skin of all the damage of normal cleansers, good value
Cons none
Bottom line excellent facewash i dont know why i usto keep stopping using it to try other cleansers because i have always gone back to cetaphil, i have used it for over a year now so i know ths cleanse well, dont waste your money on stupids acne cleansers that will just burn irritate and make your skin dry and itchy, use cetaphil. take oral acne medications not lotions or creams, they ruin your skin!
