Pros:

Did not dry skin. Takes away all makeup - even my max waterproof mascera. Very gentle. Cleared acne and faded scars.

Cons:

Slimy texture at first. Face turns red for awhile after each use.

If you want a simple and no fuss cleanser, this is for you. It doesn't lather much which bothers some people but shampoos and face washes DO NOT NEED TO LATHER in order to work. Generally when products lather a lot that means they will dry the skin. The lathering means am excess of sodium laureth sulfate or a similiar chemical. So the reason this product works so well is partly because it doesn't lather. Seems strange but it's true. Irecommend this to acne sufferers or people who want soft manageable skin. I love this product and will be using it for years to come!

I love it. I have sensitive, kind of oily skin with some mild acne and I found this cleanser to be really awesome. For those of you concerned about the castor oil, don't be. It is not a main ingredient and besides, oil is not necessarily bad. We actually need it in the right balance and consistency. Overall I have had great results with this product!!

Pros:

Soft Skin
No Harsh Smell
Light Feeling
Gentle
Effective

Cons:

Expensive
Can make skin oily if you use too much

I really like this product. It is one of the first that I have found that helps with the severity of my acne. I have been able to downgrade from severe acne to moderate acne with the FAITHFUL use of this product. I think if you were to use it on a sporadic basis, it wouldn't do much good, but if you wash like you are supposed to and use it as a skin care regimine and not as a treatment tool, then I think it is effective. Yes, it is expensive (to me), but it works and I will gladly pay the cost. If you use too much, it can make your skin oily, but one you learn how much to use, I think that can be solved. The only complaint I have is that they don't make a facial scrub or a toner. Other than that, I will continue to faithfully use the Cetaphil line.

-Was gentle to skin
-Left skin feeling refreshed
-Affordable

This makes a good facial wash, but you definitely need something more if you want to get rid of your acne.

Pros:

cleans your skin

Cons:

doesn't do anything for acne

i have combination oily/normal skin, but the oily portions of my face are REALLY oily (aka shiny, greasy). this, though it did clean my face pretty well, did not really do anything for my oily skin; it was still pretty oily. i probably won't buy this again, since i found a more drying cleaner

Pros:

Easy to use, gentle

Cons:

Did nothing to help acne
Fragrance

I thought that maybe a really mild cleanser would help my acne. This did nothing to hurt or help. Although I noticed that like another post, I have gotten breakouts along my jawline/hairline (where I never breakout)... It did not promise anything for acne, so it did what it said. Was a good face wash and my skin felt clean but not over dry. Still gonna try something else.

Affordable
Noticably Clearer Skin

Doesn't work for acne, just oily skin.

It works well only if you have oil problems. If you do, its a great product.

Pros:

Smells good
Makes skin smooth
Prevents scars
Prevents some pimples
Cheap

Cons:

Doesnt lather too well
Not really an acne product

I really love this product but stopped using it because in needed an actual acne treatment, but this did help with my acne. Another thing that is amazing about this product is that when I had a pimple while using it it would prevent a scar from occurring.
