Pros:

Gentle
smells good
cheap
big bottle
doesn't clog pores

Cons:

Not fragrance free
cleared my skin then made it have little acne
made my face oily in the morning

Iv'e been using it for about 2 months and it worked well the first 2 weeks then made me have maybe 2 or 3 pimples.it really makes my skin oily in the morning. i wouldn't reccomed you use the oily cleanser unless you have moderate-severe oily skin , mine wasn't oily at all when i first started using this product but now it is.if you have light acne use the daily gentle cleanser not the oily one. kinda made my face clean though

Pros:

-cleanses your face
-wipes out any dirt
-make skin feel smooth
-makes pimples less visible, but the pimples are still there.

Cons:

-DOES NOT GET RID OF ACNE OR PIMPLES COMPLETELY.
- depending on your skin, it may give you more pimples than you originally had.

-For just regular cleansing, i highly recommend you to buy this brand. It's very helpful and takes away all the oil on your skin. - For acne or pimple treatment. DO NOT BUY THIS. BAD. DOESN'T WORK. PERIOD.

Pros:

Doesnt leave face with a tight or dried out feeling
Really good for sensitive skin
Makes face feel amazing after use

Cons:

Didn't notice any sign of acne getting better
Doesn't do much for my combination skin
This product isnt great compared to Neutrogena or Clinique...

This to me, is just for people with dry or normal skin. It seems to not work well with me and my friends' oily skin because i guess it doesnt clean deep enough. Idk..but after days of use I started to get more pimples with this. Ive had way better luck with products of Neutrogena and immediately switched back after seeing no improvement. For people who are looking for a "miracle product" dont waste your time. The best, in my opinion, are those topical face creams from Differin and the Deep Clean Face Wash from Neutrogena.

Pros:

gentle on skin
nice smell
easy to use
pretty cheap for how much you get

Cons:

dried out my skin
made me break out in a HORRIBLE round of cystic acne!

ok, when i first got on the regiman i was using this, dans bp, and complex 15 moisturizer, and everything was going great! but after a few weeks of that, my skn broke out in about 6 or 7 HUGE cysts! i was in shock, and miserable! i couldnt figure out what was doing this to my skin all of a sudden, cause i have had breakouts of a couple zits around the time of the month, but never any this bad! so i did some research on cetaphil and figured out that a lot of people were having the same problem with it! because of some ingredient that i can't think of the name for! so i immediatly began searching for another cleanser, and came upon alba pineapple enzyme facial cleanser. it was a liiiiittle pricy, but totally worth the cost! it instantly took away the dry skin that cetaphil did, and made my skin soooo soft and smelling amazing! it also has AHA in it, so it actually cleared up my skin and gave me a beautiful complexion! i would DEFFINATLY reccomend the alba pineapple enzyme facial cleanser to anyone!! but the cetaphil one im not so sure i would.... but everyones skin is different so i guess i would give it a try to see what it does to your skin if you have never used it before!

Pros:

(: Nice scent.
(: Got all of my make up off nicely.
(: Worked pretty well for the first couple of weeks.
(: Non-irritating.
(: Didn't overly dry my skin.

Cons:

): Felt just kind of... too.. soapy?
): Didn't feel like it was doing anything but removing my make up.
): Even when I went on a "make up strike" and didn't wear make up, my skin was still breaking out.

I tried it for a few months, not giving up. I used it every morning when I woke up, afternoon when I got home from school, and right before I went to bed at night for maybe 2 and a half months. It worked pretty well for the first few weeks, clearing up my skin slightly. After those few days of awesome, my acne returned the way it was before I started using it... I continued to use it, hoping it just needed time. Well, yeah, hi, here I am, still breaking out. All in all, it might work for you, but it did not work for me. So, try it if you want to! Never know. Good luck! Stupid acne.

Pros:

It didn't irritate my skin at all
Didn't dry out my skin
Kept skin smooth

Cons:

Feels like your cleaning your face with lotion
I would get really big and painful whiteheads on my chin

I used some harsh soaps for a while which made my skin rough and bumpy. I switched to Cetaphil and thought it was a godsend. My skin didn't feel so dry and my skin was smooth again. However, I would get very large, painful whiteheads on my chin and mouth area. I figured that was just how my skin was so I continued using it for a few years. I just recently switched to Burts Bees and realized that that is not the case (I do not necessarily recommend Burts Bees, I just switched again to Olay Foaming Face Wash). After using Burts Bees for a month or two I realized the Cetaphil was causing the huge whiteheads.

Pros:

didnt make my face oily
smelled good
cleared up some parts of my face
wasnt drying at all

Cons:

didnt really work that well...at least ALL over my face

before i started using this i used proactiv,and loved it until my face starting getting super dry. Then i thought i would give this a try because so many people liked it...but i started getting TERRIBLE whitheads on my forehead and getting bit zits around my cheeks and sides of my mouth(this could be because i just came off Proactiv too). I think this product though really worked well on the other parts on my face....but the results werent enought to where i would keep using it.i think that if you have normal or dry skin ALL cetaphil products work well.
