| Pros: | Smoothign on skin, not harsh at all!
Plus, its economically affordable :) |
| Cons: | I guess its more of an acne-preventive solution than the much hoped-for of an acne-curing cleanser ... |
| Bottom Line: | Gotta give it a try! I was suscribing to a local dermatologist's independant medications and started switching on the day i left for thailand on a holiday. This cleanser managed to kept me acne-free even though i was expecting some to sprout out due to the sudden change in cleanser and coupled with the humid weather in thailand. So far so good, hasnt given me any problems excepts for a few pastules (< 3) Give it a try at least and you should see quite satisfactory results pretty soon! |

| Pros: | Does not dry out skin and has greatly improved my complexion. |
| Cons: | At first the absense of foaming lather was a bit awkward, but it is easy to get over if the product helps your skin. |
| Bottom Line: | Like all products Cetaphil will not work for all skin types. My skin is sensitive and prone to dryness. I tried many different products to rid myself of acne to no avai. I finally realized that my dry skin was actually the problem. I was using drying acne medications that only further dried out my skin, which made my skin produce more oil to combat the dryness, resulting in more acne.
Of course Cetaphil alone will not solve all your problems. You also need to exfoliate a few times a week. I would recommend a gentle exfoliator and if you are going to apply a topical acne treatment after washing your face follow up with some light non-greasy moisturizer. One product is not going to be your cure-all. If you wear makeup I'd also recommend wearing a tinted moisturizer vs liquid foundation or compact powder. And never wear your makeup to bed!
Also if you are interested in using Cetaphil as a makeup remover I recommend you purchase the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser. |

| Pros: | Smooth and moisturizes even in washing. It's not harsh on dry and sensitive skin. |
| Cons: | Packaging can be better but with the affordable price, I can live with that. |
| Bottom Line: | I think this is the best cleanser I know of. Believe me, I've tried everything since my skin started acting up since I was 11. Now I am 28. I've started using this product since last year and I will never go back to anything else. |

| Pros: | Does not completely dry out my skin. |
| Cons: | This cleanser did not clean my face at all! Does not remove make up at all, so it was pretty much like washing my face with pore clogging lotion. my face is now the worse it has ever been. |
| Bottom Line: | I bought this cleanser because it got such great reviews on this site. You would not believe my dissapointment when in just a few days my skin turned into this horrible mess of dead skin, whiteheads, blackheads, cystic pimple, and hige red blotches on my face. i was mortified, i have always had acne but never this bad. I have no idea why not only did i not get the benefits of this cleanser that everyone else did, but my face actually got worse. |

| Pros: | Very Gentle |
| Cons: | Too Gentle - does not remove makeup well |
| Bottom Line: | I have very sensitive skin, which this product is good for, but if I wanted to remove make-up from my face, this cleanser does not get rid of the make-up. |
| Usage: | Kari has used this item for a few weeks. |

| Pros: | Excellent for dry skin, as it does not strip off your moisture balance.
Helps relieve acne. |
| Cons: | Sometimes it leaves sticky residue, even if you rinsed it with water! Also, I think it actually clogged my pores, because whiteheads started appearing like crazy after I started using this product. |
| Bottom Line: | I think by far this product works the best for me. I have dry sensitive skin, and have tried so many other products which didn't really work. Cetaphil is gentle on my skin, and does not make my skin feel tight after wash. It's important to consider this point when choosing whether or not a product works for you. A suitable cleanser should not make your skin feel tight after wash. If it does, then it's probably too drying.
Cetaphil also helps me manage my acne. I'm not saying it makes my acne completely gone, but it does relieve one way or another. I still got ocassional breakout, but washing my face with Cetaphil definitely helps relief the acne.
Highly recommended product for people who have dry/sensitive skin. |
