Pros:my skin really does feel cleansed! good job cetaphil
Cons:ive only used it for a few days so i cant really say anything bad. all i can say is that my face not only is starting to look clearer but feels clearer and cleaner! i wasnt too crazy about the way the bottle looked u need a new design lol.
Bottom Line:after reading all of the reviews on this product i am going to continue to use the whole bottle ive only used it for about 2 days and it feels good. at first it felt i was puting hand wash on my face and i wasnt sure it would work but my skin actually does feel clean. i was dying to try proactiv but ive heard very good reviews on it and then very bad reviews on it and it way too expansive mann! are they crazy 40 to 60 dolars a month on skin medication. even it works i dont think it would be the correct thing for me because ive never had bad acne in my life but i have very small whiteheads on my forehead and im going to give cetaphil a try. i believe cetaphil can work and since its such a great cleansing cream they should wild with it and come up with very good acne medications to take proactiv out of business but dont make it too expensive! well anywho i realy like cetaphil i bought it cuz i heard about it from a magazine.

Pros:Very mild, great for sensitive clean. Cleans well for those without oily skin.
Cons:Doesn't feel clean after using it. Doesn't lather well.
Bottom Line:This is a great cleanser for those with sensitive or normal skin. However, I believe it's TOO gentle for those with oily skin. From personal experience, it cleaned well except for those bad days where my face was especially oily. Also, it hardly lathers at all, but I guess that's just personal preference.

Pros:Cetaphil has totally helped with my acne. My skin looks more even and toned. It is gentle, non irritating.
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I cleanse with Cetaphil twice daily, follow up with witch hazel as a toner and use Olay with SPF 15 for my moisturizer. My skin hasn't looked this good in a long time!

Bottom Line:If you are currently on an acne regimen, this one will soften and mildly exfoliate your skin.

Pros:Few ingrdients, no fragrance.
Cons:None.
Bottom Line:This is the ONLY cleanser that made my skin flawless. It cleans and hydrates it. It is a no nonsense product that gets the job done. Since using Cetaphil gentle cleanser, I stopped wearing make-up. It is freeing and a money savior. Before Cetaphil, my skin was breaking out and dehydrated constanly from all the crap (Ex: fragrance and other harsh ingredients) that is in most products. I used Proactiv and it ruined my face: dehydration, brown spots and more breakouts. With Cetaphil my skin is bouncing back. I love this basic cleanser and love the fact that it is neutral. I also found out that I don't need as many products any more (which is bad to start with). My routine is simple: Cetaphil Cleanser and Eucerin Fragrance free moisturizer 30 spf. Voila.
