I'm glad that this product worked to me! Never had any major breakouts since I used this (no BS). This is the best cleanser I've ever used that freed me up from breakouts!

Pros:

makes skin softer, helps with redness, does not irritate my skin or cause further breakouts. has helped my acne alot.

Cons:

none

I started using this about 3 weeks ago, and I love it. I have tried pretty much every acne wash known by man, including proactiv, neutrogena, acnefree, EVERYTHING. Also, bp and salyclic acid does nothing for my acne other than make it worse. After trying everything, I finally bought Cetaphil, and I must say I am really glad that I did. I wash my face with this in the morning and my face does not get oily for the rest of the day. I also use it at night because my face tends to get very oily at night, but using this, I can rest assured that my skin will not be crazy oily when I wake up. Everyones skin is different, but for me and my skin, this stuff has worked wonders and I am so glad that I bought it.

Pros:

Cheap.
No scent.
Not drying.

Cons:

Too gentle, it doesn't thoroughly clean your face, you have to clean 3/4 times.
Doesn't remove makeup or sunblock easily.
No foaming action.

I've tried this product a few times now and after recently using it whilst I waited for me usual cleaner to arrive from overseas, I can now confirm that this actually contributes to my break outs. I dont think it actually causes them or irritates them but I personally think its too gentle, as in it doesn't thoroughly clean your face, or at least you have to wash about 4 times before your face seems somewhat clean - and even then I broke out. I wish it worked for me becuase it is so affordable and sold in my county, but it doesn't.

I have a very uneven skin tone.This product reduced redness the very first time I used it. It left my face feeling clean without feeling tight and dry, and it removed all of my makeup!

Pros:

Easy to purchase - sold with pump from local chemist
No fragrance
Not harsh or stripping - very gentle

Cons:

Doesn't lather up

Would highly recommend this product. Not a stand alone miracle product but this is a step in the right direction. I have used many different types of cleansers over the many years but this is one I'll stick with.

Pros:

1.Skin is soft after one use
2.Skin feels clean after use.
3. Acne seams to be clearing up a little
4. Doesn't dry out skin
5. Does not smell bad
6. Inexpensive
7. Can easily find it in stores

Cons:

1. To soon to tell.

I have only used it for 3 days now, and while that seams as though it is to soon to tell, I immediately could feel improvement in my skin. It is more soft than it has ever been before and my tone has gone from blotchy to even. I have used it seams like hundreds of skin products to try and help and this seams to finally be the one. As for ACNE: I have mild acne and have had it for years now, my acne is not completely gone, but it looks the best it has in a very long time, and like I said 3 days is to soon to tell. I would buy this product regardless though because my skin feels AMAZING.

Pros:

-very gentle
-inexpensive
-big bottle last a long time

Cons:

-doesn't lather
-doesn't have that "effective" feeling

i bought this from target for a fairly cheap price. i tried this after seeing many good review about it and it's been a week i've been using this. the result is quite good, my acne is decreasing slowly but surely, and my skin feels more fresh than before. the only i hate about this thing is that it doesn't lather well so putting it on my face kinda hard.

Pros:

Very Gentle
Doesnt break me out
Prevents Breakout
Reduces redness

This stuff is awesome it is super gentle, and my skin is VERY sensitive, anything with sacylic acid will irritate it so I started using this and it soothes the skin and gives it a soft feeling. I love it

Pros:

Fairly inexpensive and seems to work well for a lot of people.

Cons:

Seemed to irritate my skin a little bit (it felt like a very mild burning senstation). I had been cleaning my face with an oil based cleanser for about a month and a half beforehand. Maybe my skin has become too sensitive for the chemicals in this cleanser.

I would recommend trying this, because it seems like a good fit for a lot of people, but for me it probably will not see much use. I was looking for a very light cleanser to add to my oil based cleaning routine (to use every few days to make sure dirt was being removed from my face) but unfortunately this is not it.

Pros:

Gentle
No fragrance
Smooths skin
Reduces redness

Cons:

Doesn't lather-not that big of a deal.

Although I've only been using this cleanser for a bout a week I've noticed that my skin is smoother and less red. I've used a lot of products and this is the only cleanser I've used that made the oil on my face disappear for basically all day. I've also noticed that the redness on my face is gone. I would definately recommend this to anyone with extremely oily skin and a lot of redness.
