Pros:

Easily available in the US

Cons:

Irritating

I have used this for about three months and every time I used it, my skin would become so irritated. It was gradual until I couldn't take it anymore. Ironically, this stuff made my skin drier and mind you I have oily skin. I have tried the oily version and it is no better. I would recommend this if you have more resistant skin and using a topical medication to prevent irritation. Mind you I was using this and a BP with a percentage at 2.5%, so I have sensitive skin.

Pros:

- Cleanses well
- Fragrance free
- Non-irritating
- Cheap and easy to find, can buy in larger quantities
- Leaves skin feeling smooth

Cons:

- Kind of unsettling consistency

This is my favorite cleanser EVER. I have been using it for several years now, and every time I try some new product, I always come back to Cetaphil. Why spend more when you don't have to? This is not a medicated cleanser, so no, it will not clear your skin on it's own. But as a cleanser to use before medication, such as BP, this is great. No, it doesn't foam. That means it is soap free. Cleansers don't need to foam to work. People tend to associate skin that's totally stripped of all oil with "clean". This leaves what is supposed to be left on your face, while getting rid of the stuff that isn't.

Pros:

Gentle enough for any type of skin.
Leaves skin so soft!

Cons:

Does not foam up on a washcloth

This is my favorite face/body wash because it is so mild, but really cleanses. It almost acts as a moisturizer too!

Pros:

mile cleanser that doesnt scour or over dry skin. no additives to lead you to believe you are getting a clean rinse.

Cons:

not foamy, and one may think that they are not getting a good wash.

Good for daily cleansing. wouldnt rely on it for makeup removal b/c its not a scouring substance. If your face breaks out when you change soaps its prob. b/c your face isnt used to it and is fighting it.

Pros:

Nice smell, rinse off clean, skin feels soft for a while after.

Cons:

It seems to be making my acne worse. More breakouts, more oily skin. I have to wash my face more and more with it because my skin feels dirty.

I wouldn't buy it again. I would have a few pimples, wash my face with Cetaphil, go to sleep, and wake up with many more.

Pros:

Nice scent, lightweight.

Cons:

Didn't clean my skin, felt like it left a "film" on my skin.

My derm recommended this because it's gentle. I agree with that, but I felt like it hardly cleansed my skin. It felt like a film was left on my face and nothing got cleaned off.

Pros:

-Gentle
-No Fragrance
-Doesn't burn eyes
-MOISTURIZES
-Gentle enough to allow for me to wash skin twice a day or more

Cons:

None

This cleanser single handedly helped clear my acne. Do not get me wrong, it doesn't have ingredients that clear it. However, because I am using such harsh acne meds on my skin, this product soothed and healed! I have used this soap for two months and my dermatologist just took me off my acne antibiotics that I have been on for over a year. This stuff was my miracle!
