Pros:Gently washes away white heads and gently reduces redness and irritation.
Cons:It is a runny solution and it doesn't lather but who cares as long as it clears acne. It smells bad but only if you take a big wiff of it out of the bottle, besides that it isn't so bad.
Bottom Line:It works, its worth it!
Recommended:Yes

Pros:it's alright. the smell isnt too bad.
Cons:it takes a while to get used to the "feel" of it/pricey
Bottom Line:it's best just to use this product if you have light/moderate acne. it is a bit pricey. i use it before i go to school since my skin tends to flake on me in certain spots. an overall okay product. not the best, but it helps

Pros:absolutely perfect
Bottom Line:I buy the bottle with the pump, more cost effective. The perfect cleanser for me, but I sometimes alternate with the gentle cleansing bar for more lather. I use differin at night, and this combo has given me perfect skin

Pros:-Excellent for sensitive skin AND acne.
-Many say its too 'liquidy'. This, ive found, is actually a benefit.
Bottom Line:With acne ridden sensitive skin, ive tried every cleanser under the sun. I used to think the stronger the 'clean' the better - using strong exfoliants and cleanser. Bad idea. Even the so called 'moisturising foaming' washes somehow managed to dry out my skin. The end result - tonnnes and tonnes of new spots and blemishes. Cetaphil however is different. It basic, gentle and gives a good clean without all these unnessecary 'active' ingredients. The great thing is i can be used in conjunction with a 5% benzoyl peroxide with minimum dryness. At the end of the day, for acne-ridden skin, the gentler the cleanser, the better.

Pros:Doesn't dry out skin
Cons:This stuff is way to runny. It seems like it doesn't lather at all. Not only that, but it smells horrible.
Bottom Line:Not worth it. Although it's gentle, it doesn't feel like it cleans your skin because it is runny and has no lather. Also, I can't get past the smell.

Pros:Very gentle, non-drying, reduces irritation, non-comedogenic despite lotion texture, soap free.
Cons:Not suitable for very oily skin or hot/humid climates, leaves light residue on skin, not suitable for heavy/waterproof make-up.
Bottom Line:This is a fantastic gentle and soothing cleanser, especially in cooler/drier climates. I usually use this cleanser mid fall thru late spring when my acne prone skin easily becomes dry and irritated by our Great Canadian Winter. I use it on make-up free skin in the morning and it leaves my face soft and glowing, but I prefer a gel cleanser in the evening. Definetely needs to be followed up by your favourite targeted acne lotion- a good, well-priced choice.
