Pros Very gentle
Does not contain a chemical treatment
Little smell
Noncomedogenic
Does not dry out skin too much
Cons Does not feel like it really cleanses the skin very well. In other words, too gentle.

Does not lather at all really
Bottom line You can use it if it is what you have. It will not hurt. However, it cannot be used to shave with and it may leave you feeling like you need to wash again. I would recommend just buying something better instead of relying on this.

Pros Face feels clean
Make redness go down
Feels gentle on my skin
Cons None so far
Bottom line I have only been using Cetaphil for one day and yes perhaps I shouldn't be jumping to conclusions but it has already seemed to have done wonders for my skin.
I have damaged skin due to a bad experience with using proactive and already I see improvements. The redness is going down. I would wake up every day with a new pimple but none, so far and none seem to be forming. My old one aren't sore or flaky anymore.
I look forward to continuing using it. I would love to get my clean skin back again.

Pros Extremely gentle, soothes and softens skin, calms redness, non-drying, inexpensive.
Cons Consistency.
Bottom line Here's the deal (and it's been said on here many times) - the consistency is awful. It's like watery goo or clear lotion. Your skin will not feel "fresh and clean" or stripped. However, with that said, it's still one of the best face washes out there. It never dries out my skin, even in the winter, and I have pretty dry skin. It soothes and calms redness, and it leaves my face feeling soft and moisturized. If you can get over the no foaming or lathering, it's amazing.

Pros -The best cleanser there is hands down
-Aids in the reduction of acne.
-Does not irritate skin or lead to dryness.
-Reduces redness.
-Very cheap.
-Leaves skin feeling soft.
Cons -Does not foam up (This is not really a con, but many reviewers on here seem to complain about it but I'll explain.)
Bottom line Cetaphil is hands down the best cleanser out there.

99% of dermatoligists I've gone to have endorsed this product and for good reason, it's simply brilliant for your skin. There are far to many products on the market today packed with chemicals that are terrible for your skin even though the damage may not be immediatly noticeable.

These chemicals cause uneeded damage to your skin and not to mention irritation.These factors are a nightmare espicially when dealing with acne and are already applying chemicals to your face to deal with the acne e.g Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic acid etc, a cleanser should as the name states simply cleanse the skin anything more (such as Salicylic acid cleansers) disrupts the healing process of your skin which it needs so much more when you're applying harsh chemicals like Benzoyl Peroxide.

This cleanser has also significantly reduced redness and irritation, most cleansers I've used only ever cause it.

Cetaphil is also extremely cheap I purchased a pack of two 20oz bottles of the cleanser! (That's roughly 1 Litre worth of cleanser) for only £20!!!

The great thing about Cetaphil is because it doesn't irritate but actually soothes it aids in removing acne, and I have never broken out from Cetaphil, I've gone days without Benzoyl Peroxide and sometimes Cetaphil has been all I've required to keep things under control.

One thing that a lot of users of the product have been complaining about is the fact the Cetaphil Cleanser does not form up, or they 'feel' like it is not washing all the dirt off there face. These two issues are linked, Cetaphil doesn't foam for good reason mainly due to the fact the ingredient that causes cleansers to foam up is in fact irritating, it is mainly the lack of the cleanser foaming up that people immediatly assume it is not removing dirt (which was my first impression) however this is not the case.

My skin has never this clean and soft with any other c
