Pros:

Pretty good. :)

Pros:

- the scent is very mild

Cons:

- not very lather-y
- dries out skin

I'll keep going with this because I've bought it and will see it through, but it's pretty irritating. I'll give it another few days to see if the irritation subsides. It was a change from the Clean and Clear, but I'm not sure it's a favorite. I'll edit this review in a few weeks when I get a better feel for what it really does.

Pros:

It works for my skin type (Oily).
I like the smell of it.
I like the pump dispenser.

Cons:

It stings my entire face.
It hurts when you get it in your eyes.
I don't really like the consistency of it.

I would recomend this if you don't have sensitive skin. Personally, I didn't like this face wash at all. It was horrible on my skin.

Pros:

It is easily available, relatively inexpensive.

Cons:

Too harsh for my skin

I am not slamming the product per se but it is this is the cleanser that most dermatologist recommend as one of the most gentle cleansers, but for me it was quite opposite. I have tried both the original and the one formulated for oily skin and the way my skin reacts to both of them is the same. I would get a tingling/burning sensation and my acne would increase. I guess I have to stick to water to cleanse my face. But of you have more resistant skin, this cleanser might be your best bet since it doesn't have all that added junk.

Pros:

refreshes skin, cleans well, washes off well.

Cons:

none for me

this is a surface cleaner, not a deep down exfoliator, that kind of product is bad for me. cetaphil is not ment to clear acne, just the dead skin cells and oils that are on the surface, an acne product must be used after to keep the oils down and keep the bacteria from forming. my skin isnt perfect and it never was never will be, if you wanna look with a microscope your gonna find things but for my moody skin, its good enough. but eveyone needs to try many diffrent things to find whats good for them, i still get a few pimples from time to time, usually small ones , even with a prescription. it happens.

Pros:

Clears away oil and leaves skin soft

I have tried many products for my oily skin, but the harsh ingredients irritated my skin and just made things worse. Cetaphil is gentle, so it clears away the oil and my pores have not been clogged. I have mild acne, so I made sure to use creams for the minor breakouts, but so far Cetaphil has agreed with my skin the best.

Pros:

MAKES MY SKIN FEEL EXTREMELY CLEAN

Cons:

DOSENT CLEAR UP ALL ACNE

I ACTUALLY LOVE CETAPHIL I USUALLY GETS BAD BREAKOUTS AND EVEN THOUGH THE CLEANSER DOSENT REMOVE THE ACNE COMPLETELY IT CALMS DOWN THE REDNESS AND OILINESS WHICH REDUCES THE PIMPLE SIZE AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE PIMPLES COMING ON THE SURFACE OF MY SKIN. IF YOU USE THE PRODUCT FOR A NICE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU WILL SEE AND FEEL A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR SKIN.

Pros:

1) Clears oil right off
2) Reduces acne
3) Simple use and formula

Cons:

1) Does little for acne overall

This is just an oil-cleanser. It's good to reduce acne a little bit, but not to clear it overall. If you have acne, I would recommend another product as this does little to help in that area.
