Pros Gentle, good for sensitive skin
Nice clean texture and smell
Non-soap
Feels almost soft
Lasts a long time
Does not require water to wash off
Cons Did not clear acne
Bottom line This is a great cleanser for more sensitive skin and parts of the body - I use it both on my face, and even my mother who has terrible skin that is extremely sensitive has been using Cetaphil for years with no problems. You can even get the generic type at Walmart or the big one at Costco, so it can be cost-effective if you are sensible. The bottle lasts for a long time (I used 3-6 squirts a day and I've had this bottle for a few months). However, this did not clear my acne at all. Another pro is that if you are unable to fully wash your face (with water, etc.) you can use this without water and just wipe it off, leaving a thin layer (per the instructions on the back of the bottle).

Pros It cleared up my acne within days
It was very gentle and there was no irritation
It left my skin free of oil without over drying
Cons None that I have seen so far
Bottom line This stuff is a miracle. I have oily skin and had just stopped using Acne Free which has left my face extremely irritated when this was recommended by a friend. I wasn't sure and after my Acne Free experience was I was hesitant but this cleared my breakouts within 3 days of starting on it and my skin looks smoother and more refined. I thanked my friend over and over for the great recommendation. I am hooked!

Pros Didn't break me out
Good for sensitive skin. It didn't sting.
Made my skin feel soft
Cons Made my skin look a bit oily/shiny.
Didn't remove make up.
Bottom line I really like this cleanser, It's gentle and it works well in combination with my topical acne treatment (epiduo). It didn't sting which I have found with many other cleansers and it didn't break me out or irritate my skin.

The only downside is that it doesn't remove make up very well at all. This is probably because it is so mild but in my case it made me feel like I had to overwash my face, two or three times in a row, just to romove all of my make up. I feel like this defeated the point of its gentle nature.

Pros Left my skin soft and clean
Skin is clear and moisturized
Also left my skin tone very even
Cons Expensive.
If you don't use it with the moisterizer your skin will be dry, burn, and itch.
Bottom line I love this product, my skin is now so clear. I usually have a very red blotchy complexion, it is now very even, just after a month or so. I am so amazed.
Price paid $11.00

Pros *cleans off make up well
*removes oil
*clean feeling after
Cons *made my skin really dry
*it made my face itch a lot
*made my face feel weird
Bottom line Don't buy. Its okay if you don't have severe acne, but it makes things so much worse.

I recommend Murad's daily cleanser. Its a bit expensive, but worth it.
Price paid $11.50

Pros *Cheap
*Removed Makeup and oil from the day
*gentle
Cons *broke me out alot
*left a gross film on my face
*made my skin oily
Bottom line I used this as a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, which it did so. But it broke me out, alot. Left this wierd film on my face. I am a naturally oily skinned person, but this just made my face an oil slick, it was grossssss.

Pros -hardly any scent
-does not lather
-does not require water to rinse off
-very, very mild
-cleanses well
-cost efficient
Cons -so mild it doesn't remove make up well, which isn't a problem for me, but it may be for someone who has very sensitive skin and cannot use standard makeup remover
Bottom line I would recommend this to anyone who has normal to dry skin. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has oily skin as it is making my DRY skin feel oily right after cleansing. I do not have acne so I cannot judge how it is working that regard, it is helping my recovering dry skin! I wish I had found this sooner!

Pros - very little scent
- does not strip my very dry skin
- doesn't sting in eyes
- the 16 ounce size is very cost effective
Cons - doesn't foam, thus, doesn't remove makeup effectively (i use an oil cleanser or jojoba to take off eye makeup before i wash)
Bottom line this is a pretty great cleanser overall. price is right, totally not drying, which is a big deal for me. as my skin changes, i am very prone to flakiness and this is helping with that a lot. i'm really glad i tried it!
