Pros:Leaves my skin smooth. Clears up the skin noticeably. Can be used without water (for those late nights when you come from the nightclub and you don't feel like washing your face). Gentle enough to remove your eye make up. Multipurpose.
Cons:At first the consistency of the product feels weird, but you get used. The new price is expensive (new label desing). The generic brand makes my skin itchy.
Bottom Line:It worth it.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Maria has used this item for about a year.
Price Paid:3.00

Pros:Its a good cleanser if you have extremely sensitive skin. Affordable and easily available in all stores.
Cons:If you have oily/combination skin it doesn't take off the oil much. After 4 or 5 hours my face is dull and t-zone is oily.
Bottom Line:Its a good cleanser if you have dry sensitive skin. But if yoy have oily skin/combination skin it this is not the best product as it does not remove all the oil ....I learnt that there is another cetaphil for oily/combination skin but I never see it in the shelves in stores...
Recommended:No
Usage:Sonia has used this item for a few months.
Price Paid:10.00

Pros:Very gentle. Smoothes on and washes off easily. Very agreable with a user that has rosacea(redness,inflammation.) This even can be used without water. Just a towel or wipe which allows you to use on the move.
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I have tried it all. The best move I ever made was acting on my dermatologist's suggestion to wash with Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser twice a day then follow with topical medications. No conflict with the topicals at all. It is cheap too. I will be using this product for life. Good luck.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:This cleanser is very gently. It works well and rinses clean. I have had very good results using this product.
Cons:It is very smelly. I do not like the fragrance AT ALL!
Bottom Line:Good bang for your buck. You get lots of the stuff for a reasonable price. Try not to be put off by the fragrance.

Pros:I bought the antibacterial cleansing bar for my 10 year old son who got an infected breakout on his chin - he washes w/ the bar every morning and his skin cleared up, scarring has greatly diminished. Love that it was gentle on his skin too!
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I would recommend trying it. I first heard about it from a co-worker years ago whose friend was a dematologist. She had been using it for years. I remembered it and was desperate to try something non-harsh, non-drying and without alot of unnecessary chemicals. My son's skin blotches on his cheeks are evening out too - added bonus. It's cheap, easy to use and effective. At only $5 a bar, try it!
Recommended:Yes

Pros:It really leaves my skin feeling soft.
I have sensitive skin, so it doesn't irritate my skin or anything like that.
I like purchase this stuff at Costco, cause its $15 bucks for two huge bottles, and each bottle last me for three to four months
Cons:I haven't got a chance to renewed my costco card, so I had to go buy it from Wal Mart which cost $10 bucks for a koo size bottle.
It ran out, so I bought the Cetaphil thats for oily to normal skin, & that made me breakout.
Bottom Line:Cetaphil does work for me,
but not the oily to normal skin.
If you have sensitive skin like me,
try it, and you might like it.
My skin was completely cleared until it ran out on me, and I had to use the oily to normal skin.
But I'm going to renew my card for Costco & purchase the original Cetaphil.

Pros:It seems to do the trick. I can't be entirely sure how well it's working, since a lot of it might be due to the antibiotics.
Cons:Somewhat oily feel when I put it on. I use water with it. It's extremely expensive - it must be because it's shipped over here (New Zealand).
Bottom Line:I have not tried it without water, and the idea that you only need a "pea sized amount" is new to me, so I'll try it. The price I gave is what it cost for 500 ml (about 16 fl. oz.).
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Sandy has used this item for a few months.

Bottom Line:this product is awesome! it clears up my minor breakouts OVERNIGHT!!!
