Pros:

-cleans very good
-no residue
-takes out all makeup very easilly

Cons:

-smell sucks

- I will like to take back what I put before. I realize that the reason I broke out wasn't this cleanser, I think it was because I switched BP to Neutragena's spot treatment(It really irritated my skin), I really don't know why I broke out more, but I recently used it for about a week, again, and I didn't have any huge problems. I just can't figure out If it is the cleanser or if it was just that my skin was just going to break out the way it did. Still, I was wrong to blame it on cetaphil, since I am using the cetaphil moisturizer and I don't have any problems with that. Anyway just try it.

Pros:

Does not dry out skin
Leaves skin smooth and soft
Brighter complexion
& Reduces the acne scars on my face!

I have very sensitive skin & this proves you dont need those harsh chemicals in a cleansers! Your skin becomes really soft after like 3 days and pimples start to reduce & theres so suds so VERY easy to wash off. I use the neutrogena rapid control pads to wipe of dirt at NIGHT!

Best cleanser I've ever used.

Pros:

No chemicals/non-irritating
Leaves skin feeling fresh and soft
Doesn't smell

Cons:

Hard to seal bottle for travel

I used to have a really hard time with my facial acne. I was trying everything from Proactive, to pills, you name it. After a while, I was noticing that my skin felt irritated all the time (I have pretty sensitive skin). Then, I started using this cleanser without any chemicals and the Clarisonic Mia with the acne brush head and my skin has never felt better. My acne is all cleared up, I rarely break out at all anymore, and I have never felt more confident in my skin! I definitely recommend this product for anyone who hasn't tried it yet. It has changed my life!

Pros:

gentle
effective!
your skin feels cleaner

Cons:

weird smell
doesnt remove heavy makeup

I got a bottle of the Cetaphil daily cleanser in a dermatology gift basket I won as a door prize at my high school. At first I refused to use it (because I'm a die-hard Neutrogena girl) but I used it for a few weeks because I was too lazy to go get more Neutrogena. It's been maybe a month since then, and I'm for sure going to stick with Cetaphil. My acne was never really that bad, but most cleansers and products I used mostly just prevented new breakouts and didn't really treat them that well. I'm now a lot more comfortable going out without make up on, my skin is softer, and my breakouts (and scars!) have cleared up really well, just in time for college(: Of course I have a few single zits here and there, but that's just natural. Better than an entire area!

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling soft.

Cons:

Not much of a clean feeling.

I like the soft way my skin feels when using this. But I only use it off and on 'cause it feels like it's barely cleaning my skin. Sometimes I really feel I need to rewash my face after using this. Don't know it's cost, my moms friend is a derm and gave me some.

Pros:

THIS IS A GREAT facial cleanser, I' m an asian teenage male, and i have BAD acne. i've tried everything, clean and clear, neutrogena, proactiv. none of those seemed to work. I recently did some research and decided to give this product a try. I have extremely oily skin, and this gets rid of the oil, WITHOUT drying out my face. It feels great and i would recommend it to anyone!!!!!!! (:

Cons:

none that i can think of now.

ITS GREAT AND GENTLE!!!!!

Quick and Pleasant Results
This product really does work. I've been dealing with acne on and off for the past five years, and I've tried most things besides Accutane. My skin gets shiny fairly quickly, but is also quick to dry out/turn red, so I have to be really careful with what I choose to use. Currently I'm on a regimen of doxycycline and tretinoin cream (.1%). Things had been improving, combined with my twice-a-day face care routine, and then I got a horrible breakout 2-3 weeks ago (probably due to stress). It didn't subside but kept spreading to other areas, and at that point, I really didn't know what to do. My skin was dry, too, so I purchased Cetaphil's gentle cleanser--that was a mistake for me. I tried it out for a week but only broke out more. While my skin is iffy it can't handle sensitive skin care products well. I returned it for the Daily Facial Cleanser. AMAZING. It's been three days and I already see results. My skin is smoother, more supple, and bit by bit, clearing up. I will say there are still problem spots, but those are to be expected at only this point. Each morning and night, I rinse my face with warm water, massage the cleaner into my face, and rinse with cool water. I wait a few minutes, put on Dickinson's witch hazel toner (it helps with scarring), apply cetaphil's moisturizer, and use a salicylic acid spot treatment for the problem spots. Because it does tighten my face, I plan on only applying retinae every couple of days. But so far I haven't even seen a need for it. For the most part, I've stopped waking up with new blemishes, and I am absolutely thrilled. I definitely plan on continuing use.
