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)

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!

Pros:

It smells nice, lathers nicely, for an all over cleaning experience. Leaves skin soft

Cons:

Doesn't take off make up well-My pores are clogged since using this product. I constantly have new break outs.
Feels oily in by morning, and evening.
Product line is costly.

Im looking for yet ANOTHER acne cleanser. I was hoping this was gonna work, since the label rated approved from a dermatoligist! Bottom line..it wasnt, and hasnt been working for me! Wish I could return for refund!

Pros:

Very gentle
Doesn't dry out skin
Easy to apply
No smell, not irritating

Cons:

Expensive

I love this cleanser. I went to my aunt's for a week and she had it so I tried it out. I love how it's like a gel, so it goes on smoothly and feels refreshing. Didn't dry out my skin one bit, and my face didn't feel tight after like it usually does with Dan's cleanser. Bottom line, loved it! I am buying this as soon as I run out of Dan's cleanser / if it ever goes on sale lol.

Pros:

Does leave skin soft.
Easy to use,

Cons:

I know im going to get downvoted for this, but i dont understand how everyones review says this product is amazing. It doesnt "cleanse". It feels like lotion, and when i wake up in the morning, my face is insanely oily and i have new break outs.

It has the right idea of no irritation, but it didnt do a think for my acne. It feels like a lotion, and isnt the point of a cleanser, to lather, exfoiliate, and get rid of excess oils on your face? Maybe its just me, but this product does not work.

Pros:

Clears skin
So gentle
Reduces breakouts

Cons:

Nothing!

I ABSOLUTELY love cetaphil!!! I have used it for years and it is so gentle on my super sensititve skin. This is a must have. I use it twice a day and it defintely helps keep my skin clear. I don't use the cetaphil lotion though because it has oil so I use an oil-free, noncomdegenic mositurizer (Walgreens Brand) which I like so far.

Pros:

Leaves skin very soft
rash on face started to disappear

Cons:

None yet

I kept getting rash on my face, which my doctor diagnosed as "foliculitis". When I got home I did my own little research what the best approach would be besides gulping antibiotics. I came across a post abt the condition an anti bacterial soap was suggested. Then I googles the best a.b dopa and cetapil showed up with very good reviews. It's been a week and no complaints at all. I will surely report back after another week to keep u guys updated
