Pros Doesn't dry out skin
leaves skin feeling soft
Wont irritate skin
Cons NONE
Bottom line This cleanser is perscibed by dermatologists and for good reason. It wont irritate the skin or dry it out. Many other cleansers have harsh ingriedients that will strip your skin of its natural moisture and leave it feeling dry, tight and uncomfortable- this dryness ultimately leads to increased production of sebum(oils) which will just clog your pores and create more acne . I've tried clearasil and nivea ( even the exta soothing version) but they still left my skin dry. Combine this with a moisturiser from galderma's range such as nutaderm and your skin will improve.

Pros Works well for combination skin because it doesn't seem to strip the skin of it's natural oils.
Cons Can feel greasy when applied to the skin, but you get use to it after a while.
Bottom line It's not like other irritating cleansers, you should totally try it.

Pros cleans well, doesn't leave your skin greasy nor drier than before, very gentle, causes no zits or inflamation. CHEAP!
Cons feels greasy going on, but besides that it's great!
Bottom line This is the best cleanser I have ever used, I never thought a cleanser would clear my acne, and this hasn't, but I knew many were causing mine to get worse, irritating my skin, and causing other side effects. if you want a cleanser for just cleaning, without any bad side effects get this cleanser! I use this with Retin-A and I can say confidently this causes no acne.. at least for me. Try it! Its also very affordable

Pros Works wonderful for shaving.
Cons none

Pros Gentle, effective, doesn't dry out the skin
Cons none
Bottom line I've tried so many things: proactiv, tea tree oil, different clearasil and neutrogena products. None have ever cleared up my face as well as cetaphil. It feels great and is starting to look great. My face has always had red spots all over which are starting to clear up. I went to costco and got a huge container for 20$ which will last me awhile since you don't need to use much at all. Since it is so gentle you can also use it multiple times a day without ever drying out the skin.

If nothing else has ever worked give this a try!

Pros Gentle on my VERY sensitive skin, it was recommended by my dermatologist as well as discovered by research to be the best facial cleanser in the book Clear Skin Diet. Over-the-counter and pretty cheap for a big bottle!
Cons I wish the sensitive skin version came in a pump form. It also doesn't feel like soap (no lather) which takes some getting used to.
Bottom line This should probably be your basic facial cleanser, and the bonus is that if you don't want to use a heavy moisturizer you can just pat it off instead of rinsing and it keeps skin soft-- these were, in fact, instructions from my dermatologist, and, although he was a bit of a quack in other ways, THIS was definitely a great idea. I also occasionally exfoliate and use different cleansers to cleanse a little more deeply.
