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.

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.

Pros Not too expensive, easy to find, different sizes to choose from.
Cons After a while I started having dead skin on my face.
Bottom line I used it for over 2 months with no problem. Then, dead skin started appearing on my face. Sure, that 's okay but it looked reall ybad. So, I have decided to stop and get the purpose kind.
You should get another kind.

Pros Gentle on the skin
Cons Not a very clean feel

Rather costly for soap
Bottom line It just doesn't feel like I cleaned my face well after I use it. I don't have a refreshed feeling at all. I think when I used it without water it felt like I was cleansing my face more thoroughly, but it's more covenient to use water.

Pros Very gentle, non-drying. A bottle lasts a really long time. They also sell travel size bottles, which is great. Have been using for 17 years on the advice of a dermatologist, and haven't had problems with my skin since.
Cons No cons.
Bottom line Since it isn't drying and doesn't leave a lot of residue on your skin if you rinse with water (like in the shower), you might think that there is still product left on your face, but there isn't. You may need to get used to it and give it a chance to work. Like I said, I've been using it for 17 years and have had no acne problems since starting. For the occasional breakout, I will use Biore wipes at night on the affected area, but other than that, only the Cetaphil. I would highly recommend it.
