Pros:

Gentle
Easy to use

Cons:

Contains SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate)
Made acne worse

This cleanser made me break out like crazy, which really surprised me after it was so highly recommended by my dermatologist. Anyone who has unusually sensitive skin, eczema, or an autoimmune disease may want to avoid SLS because it can irritate the skin and make it worse. The same goes for salicylic acid (aspirin).

Pros:

-cleans skin

Cons:

-it dried my skin a little too much

I believe this is more of a makeup removal kind of cleanser (dont get me wrong, it does clean the skin). i recommend the gentle skin cleanser even if you have oily skin.

Doesn't dry skin; cleans completely; does not clog pores; no dry, itching, or peeling of skin.

Cons:

None

Cetaphil is a GREAT product for acne. Here is my story, since I was about 13 I have had mild acne on my face. When I went to a dermatologist he recommended something with Benzoyl Peroxide in it. I used it for a year only to see my skin getting much worse due to it drying me out. My brother who had SEVERE acne began using cetaphil and 2 years later his skin is flawless. I switched over to have it start working instantly. I began using it twice a day for a week then began only using it once when I take a shower. I now have very mild acne, but I have dermatologist cream. This will not COMPLETELY clear everything up, but if you have an acne cream to put on after it will clean you right up. Bottom line is to not use Benevolent Peroxide because it is harsh and clogs pores. I would honestly recommend it to anyone.

So far good

Pros:

Leave face soft
lessens or removes bad breakouts

I have had serve acne for more then 10 years and I have been to a few doctors and nothing helped. Over the year it has lessen and I have tried all kinds of at home remedies. I was looking up something to use just on my face and found a video on youtube where some one recommend this and I bought a bottle about a week ago. So far it has cleared it up pretty good any bumps I had has either went away or lessen in size. Im very happy with it and hope it keeps working. Some people recommended using a acne over the counter medicine with it but im scared to add anything and mess up the results im getting with the cetaphil

Pros:

Face is not drying out. takes makeup off, low lather, rinses clean. Price is reasonable. Should last a while for the amount needed to wash my face, twice daily.

Cons:

none

I am 55 years old, menopause has effected my face, acne and dark spots. I have only been using this a month and have noticed a remarkable difference in my skin and have not had a pimple since I started using it. Just bought cetaphil uva/uvb defense spf 50. I am anxious to see how this works too.

Pros:

Gentle and non-irritating at all
Nice gentle scent
Great for those who are using medicated topical treatments!

Cons:

I give this 3 stars only because I bought this thinking it would get rid of all my makeup as well as cleanse. I wanted a good all-in-one cleanser.
It barely lathers..and I feel like lathering gets my skin cleaner

Those of us girls who like to wear our makeup :) need a different cleanser to get rid of it all. This cleanser is great for people who have already removed their makeup or not wearing any..but not a good all-in-one that incorporates the makeup removal.

Pros:

-Cleans face nicely
-No residue

Cons:

-Can burn in situations like sunburn, overly dry skin, etc

This product is a great basic cleanser. I use this every morning and my skin stays fresh and non-oily until the evening. I don't know why people are rating it so low for not clearing acne up because the purpose of this cleanser is just to clean the face- not treat acne.
