Pros:

- gentle
- doesn't over dry
- gets makeup off well

Cons:

none?

I was skeptical to buy a face wash from CVS when I'm use to spending a lot more money on face washes from Sephora. I wish I had switched earlier. Sure it's a little expensive for something you buy at the drug store but it's super gentle and I think it works the best out of any face wash I've used. It leaves my face feeling soft and doesn't over-dry at all. I find my make up goes on better since using this, probably because it's not drying.

Pros:

Really controls oil
Smooth skin
Moisturizing

Cons:

none

This is great- I have a very very very oily T-zone where no makeup, mattefiers, or oil reducing cleansers keep me oil free. I used Cetaphil and without anything to absorb my oils for at least 5 hours, I was absolutely spotless. This is a live saver!

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.

Pros:

-fragrance free
-efectively cuts through facial oils
-cleans without causing skin dryness
-prevents future break outs
-reduces redness of skin in the long term

Cons:

-fairly pricey
-does not CURE breakouts

i've been using cetaphil daily facial cleanser for normal to oily skin since a few moths back on the recommendation of a good friend. i have oily combination skin which makes it hard to find a product that cleans affected areas without over-drying or greasing up other parts of my face, but this product does a great job balancing out my skin! the number of tiny breakout pimples due to clogged pores has been reduced and my bigger blemishes are less inflamed. keep in mind that this is simply a cleanser, therefore it is not responsible for curing breakouts, but does a wonderful job at preventing potential breakouts, calming the skin and controlling oil production throughout the day.

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.

It doesn't dry out my face
No strong odor

Cons:

Feels like soap

This has really helped with my acne. I use this and a combo of other acne prescriptions. I have been using this for a little while and it's done so much good for me. I would definately reccomend this product. It may be sorta expensive but I find it's worth it. Don't get scared by the price :)

Pros:

Cleans without drying
Doesn't leave an oily film or layer on my skin
Reduces irritation
I like the smell:)

Cons:

None so far

I am using this cleanser as part of the acne.org regimen and was suprised. I am used to using harsher cleansers and thought my skin would break out from using such a mild cleanser but instead the oil production of my skin seems to have lessened and my skin isn't so red and blotchy. I joke that I am a natural greaseball as my skin is always oily and shiny but from the second day I saw a noticeable difference in the amount of oil my skin produced, if fact I don't even have to wear powder makeup to help control the shine. I am amazed, I have only been using this product for a week and 1/2 but so far am very happy with the results. As stated I am using this as part of the acne.org regimen so it might be the combination of this cleanser and the 2.5% BP but so far so good. I am still breaking out but the pimples aren't near as inflamed and seem to be healing better on the regimen so I am going to continue with this cleanser and the 2.5% BP. I suffer from adult and hormonal acne (I am 34 yrs old) and this seems to be helping calm my usually angry skin. I also want to note that though the regimen calls for a moisturizer be applied to the whole face I am only using one lightly in flaky areas where needed (the BP can cause some dryness but for me it has been very mild). I wouldn't say that this cleanser gets rid of acne but I believe that is has helped calm my skin and decrease the oil production. I think I was washing too much and with the wrong cleansers.
