Pros Very affordable and accessible
Cons Doesn't foam, but I just use a few more pumps than necessary to get a thick coat on my face.
Bottom line I've had cystic acne since I was 20 years old. Over the past 5 years I've done everything under the sun from using OTC benzol peroxide, organic methods like tea tree oil, birth control, microdermabrasion, several forms of antibiotics, Retin A, Tazorac and FINALLY Accutane. Accutane was a short lived success and my acne returned, though milder. I had spent thousands on visiting dermatologists and I could not afford any new treatments. I decided to try Cetaphil & I wish I had done this before. The non foaming characteristic was always a deterrent for me, but now I just use more of the wash to get the thick feeling I want on my skin. I haven't had any cystic acne for almost two months now. All the previous treatments had me stuck in a sick cycle of drying out my skin, so my sebum glands were over producing oil thus causing breakouts. Now I'm spending a fraction of what I used to and I won't be stepping into a derm's office until I save money for scar treatment! I love Cetaphil.

Pros Gentle
Made skin smooth
Cons BROKE ME OUT!
Bottom line I ordered this thinking that it seemed to be the perfect product for me; gentle, non clogging and everything.
For a while I wondered what was starting to break me out again and causing my skin to be bumpy like then I realized it was this!
To test it I used some on my chest and I noticed the next day I had this little lumps like whiteheads appear.
Just take caution when using this!

Pros Cetaphil used to work wonders for me. I had clear, soft beautiful skin - now my skin is constantly breaking out in cystic acne. It's painful and I look like hell.
Cons No longer works.
Bottom line If it works for you use it until it stops. But once your skin starts breaking out give up and move on to another product.

Bottom line I've been using the regular cleanser, after reading the reviews on here. I guess i should have bought the one i read about! the regular cleanser irritates my face sometimes and i really haven't seen any results and i'm getting really frustrated because last fall my face cleared up on just panoxyl, retin-a, clindamycin and doxycycline pills... but a few months late my face worsened and now i am on tazorac, clindamycin, doxycycline, and the cetaphil cleanser and i havent seen any results whatsoever and im like on my 7th week of taz!! :'(

Pros Smooth, soft, clear and clean skin!
Cons None!
Bottom line I have never had acne until a few months before I turned 24, I have had acne for 5 months now and I was using the clean and clear acne treatment but that wasn't working for me so I switched to proactive and it made my breakouts worst! I then was doing some research online to see if there were any other ways to get rid of my acne and saw some reviews on cetaphil! I went out and bought the daily cleanser along with the daily moisturizer with spf and it worked wonders for me! I have been using cetaphil for about 2 months now, and my skin has cleared up soooo much! I am happy to have my normal skin back again! But I will never stop using cetaphil its great for everyday and every stage! Love it! I recommend this to anyone who has suffered from bad acne as I did!
