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!!!!

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!

Pros:Doesn't dry out skin
leaves skin feeling soft
Wont irritate skin
Cons:NONE
Bottom Line:This cleanser is perscibed by dermatologists and for good reason. It wont irritate the skin or dry it out. Many other cleansers have harsh ingriedients that will strip your skin of its natural moisture and leave it feeling dry, tight and uncomfortable- this dryness ultimately leads to increased production of sebum(oils) which will just clog your pores and create more acne . I've tried clearasil and nivea ( even the exta soothing version) but they still left my skin dry. Combine this with a moisturiser from galderma's range such as nutaderm and your skin will improve.

Pros:Works well for combination skin because it doesn't seem to strip the skin of it's natural oils.
Cons:Can feel greasy when applied to the skin, but you get use to it after a while.
Bottom Line:It's not like other irritating cleansers, you should totally try it.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:cleans well, doesn't leave your skin greasy nor drier than before, very gentle, causes no zits or inflamation. CHEAP!
Cons:feels greasy going on, but besides that it's great!
Bottom Line:This is the best cleanser I have ever used, I never thought a cleanser would clear my acne, and this hasn't, but I knew many were causing mine to get worse, irritating my skin, and causing other side effects. if you want a cleanser for just cleaning, without any bad side effects get this cleanser! I use this with Retin-A and I can say confidently this causes no acne.. at least for me. Try it! Its also very affordable

Pros:Gentle, effective, doesn't dry out the skin
Cons:none
Bottom Line:I've tried so many things: proactiv, tea tree oil, different clearasil and neutrogena products. None have ever cleared up my face as well as cetaphil. It feels great and is starting to look great. My face has always had red spots all over which are starting to clear up. I went to costco and got a huge container for 20$ which will last me awhile since you don't need to use much at all. Since it is so gentle you can also use it multiple times a day without ever drying out the skin.

If nothing else has ever worked give this a try!
