Pros Gentle on sensitive or stressed skin
Cons None
Bottom line This cleanser is obviously not for treating acne or exfoliating. But if you want or need to avoid irritation (e.g., peeling or dryness after using retin-a), this is a very good cleanser.

Pros -very light
-leaves my pores feeling open, and not tight
-doesn't break me out
-does not make my face dry
Cons -does not foam
Bottom line I love this! I got it about a week ago because it seems every one of my friends use it, so I decided to try it. I used to use the Oxy face wash, but it just wasn't working as well as I would like it to. When I first started using the Cetaphil, I had a HUGE, RED pimple right in between my eyebrows, after two nights, it started going down. I was amazed! I also use the Oxy spot treatment with this product as my acne routine, and I do both of these plus a moisturizer night and morning, this leaves my skin flawless.

Pros Gentle on my skin
Fragrance free
doesnt block your pores
makes my skin soft, and spot free!
Cons doesn't foam, which isn't actually a bad thing, most crappy products which have nasty chemicals have ingredients in them which make it foam, thus making ur acne worse!!!
Bottom line Its a very gentle cleanser, which makes my skin feel really soft, i get dry patches on my skin, but yet i have very oily skin mainly in my t-zone, and i suffer from blemishes!
It has a creamy feel when on your skin , moisturizing, but not greasy! soft ,leaving you with skin like a baby's....lol :P

Pros clears acne
feels soft on your skin
doesnt leave skin super dry
the bottle last a long time
cheap
cleared face and back and chest acne
doesnt make face oily
gentle on skin
doesnt make face red
keeps your face moisturized
night and day use
Cons doesnt foam
takes a while to clear acne (but still clears)
Bottom line I had really bad acne and i was f*** up my face with all these products that was just making my face worse. Then 3 weeks before summer ended i started using cetaphil! it took a while to start to clear up, but the first thing i noticed was no redness and the pimples had gone down ALOT. Then i finally got an appointment into the dermatologist and they told me i had clogged pores and to use Oxy 5. That worked really well, but my face was super dry! i also have a pill to take morning and night and then a gel for the morning and a gel at night (two diffrent ones) so my face cleared up very fast, but my face was supper dry and it stung to put moisturizer on even if i packed it on the night before. Then all the moisturizer made my face break out even worse, so the dermatologist said to go back on cetaphil and still use the gels and have both the pills when i got home from school. and its been 2 weeks now and my face is almost perfect. It would have been better =, but i picked at my pimples. So i reccomened this and to go to a dermatologist if your parents will let you! good luck!!! <3

Pros - would use it if I dont have anything else
Cons - left my skin dry and uncomfortable
- had to put a ton of moisturizer
- doesnt take makeup off
- doesnt foam
Bottom line Before purchasing this I was using neutrogena 2 in 1 and the gentle exfoliating wash, but then decided to check the notorious cetaphil. I did that mainly because my skin got quite dry due to the retin a regime I've been on to and since ive heard its a great wash i though "why not give it a go" - bad idea. It didn't make my acne worse or anything, but my skin felt weirdly "squiky" and rough? I dont know how to describe it...

Maybe im weird and i got used to Neutrogena...In any case, Not impressed

Pros doesn't leave skin dry
gentle on skin
Cons doesn't clear acne/scars
not cheap
face still feels dirty after usage
Bottom line I just feel like it doesn't do much for my skin. After washing my face, it still feels a little oily and unclean. It really does not give my face that deep clean I'm looking for.
Price paid $9.99
