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!

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
Price paid $8.00

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 Came in a compact, little package with an easy-to-use dispenser.
Cons The fragrance was awful and the soap's texture was horrible--way too runny! Very difficult to lather!!

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.

Pros Extremely good gentle cleanser!
Cons Doesn't wash off makeup real well.
Bottom line You may need to get a Neutrogena make-up remover before use, but other than that, I love it!!!

Pros Gentle, moisturizing
Cons Does not throughly clean, does not remove makeup, consistency is more like a lotion than a cleanser
Bottom line Yuck, I hate this cleanser. It does nothing for oily skin. It doesn't feel like it cleans the face at all it just seems to cover your face in thick, goopy moisturizing liquid. This products poor cleaning ability is demonstrated by it's inability to remove any makeup whatsoever. After using this cleanser your face feels soft....but dirty! Yuck!
