Pros:

leaves your skin feeling clean, makes my skin look lighter but i think that the residue or somethin

Cons:

hard to keep from bacteria unless you have a soap case. And i think the price went up cause of the stupid economy. it use to be $3

It works! I have hyperpegminting skin and after two weeks my skin was CLEAR! of course i still have spots though. Then i stopped using it wanting to try something different cause i'm dumb. Now i'm on tazorac and finacea and i just use the liquid gentle cleanser from cetaphil. Yes my skin is clear with the topicals but the antibacterial soap cleared me up way faster though. So if you don't have money for meds or if your preganant use the bar soap.

Pros:

Cleans well.

Cons:

Way overdrys my skin. I thinbk i have a very mild case of rosacea as well, and the triclosan in this made my face MUCH more red, and i think this irritation made me break out more.

Works ok. Overdrys, and is horrible for people with a little rosacea (redness) such as myself. Well, benzoyl peroxide is also bad for my rosacea, but id tradea little bit of redness for clear skin. (Although i would like both no redness and clear skin :[ )

A gentle soap, will keep using it!
Just started using the Cetaphil soap about two months ago, but I've been using the facial cleanser for years because it's the only thing sensitive enough for my skin. Really love this soap because it's not harsh and helps with breakouts. Although it doesn't cure your acne, it helps along with it though.

great cleansing bar
I like this bar as it is very gentle on my skin. My skin reacts to everything that's chemical these days and this one does not make me react or get more pimples from it.

Pros:

It quickly stops all of the inflamed areas, it soothes your skin, it's cheap

Cons:

it doesn't really do much for the stubborn whiteheads that aren't inflamed, it has some fragrance

I love this soap..and it has been helping me maintain a type of skin that isn't perfect, but i casn go out in public..but it has been doing really great considering i haven't been using any medication..al i use in the soap..so when i finally choose what topical treatment i can use i'm sure it will work wonders..=]

Pros:

Clears acne, softer skin, keep skin clear, I love it!

Cons:

Only comes in a bar

I tried every expensive products out there you name it... from Proactiv to Dr. Wexler to Dr. Peter Thomas Roth... but nothing clear my acne like this very inexpensive Cetaphil soap. It is a skin saver for me... I've been using it for a few months now and I'm sold. I am saving so much money now from using this soap. I highly recommend... I even use it to bathe my 6 yr old daughter.

works pretty well, its cheap

Pros:

Noticed a difference within a 24 hour period after using twice a day.

Cons:

Have to combine with either 2.5% benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid scrub, or potent multivitamins AND wear loose clothing.

I have cysts on my chest and face. I see them going down. Just combine with a topical gel(benzoyl by neutrogena) or a antibiotic for fast results.
