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:

smells good
feels clean and refreshing

Cons:

made me breakout on my forehead

I thought it was going to be a good facial cleanser because a doctor told me about it but it made me breakout more. It was pretty disappointing. It smelled good and it felt very clean and refreshing tough. It didn't dry my skin but it made my face very oily in the morning. IN SHORT, IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME.

Pros:

Overall balances skin
Reduces oil by 85%
Calms the skin
GREAT CLEANSER!!!

Cons:

None

this is by far the best cleanser I have ever used. Being in the cosmetic industry I have tries everything....dealing with acne in your 30's not so fun! Shouldn't I have dealt with this at 15? Cetaphil cleared my skin. As a moisturizer since at 30 we should focus on anti aging products also the "moisture surge" from clinique is amazing its oil free, fragrance free, and won't clog your pores it also calms the skin and feels like velvet and plums fine lines .....BONUS! Also its hard to find but natures cure vanishing cream is awesome its 5% BP however it has aloe vera & alotonin also its gel bases so it dries clear....good luck .....I'm sticking with the cetaphil!

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:

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.

Pros:

-moisturizes very dry skin

Cons:

-never sinks in
-clogs pores
-burns

I have very sensitive and very oily skin. I have tried this a few times and every time I use it it never sinks in to the skin no matter how little of it I use. This just sits on your skin catching all the dirt and bacteria in the air and clogs your pores. Every single time I've used this I broke out. You may as well put like honey or maple syrup on your face and never rub it in because you'll get the same effect. Actually those might even work better than this product.

Pros:

Gentle
No harsh detergents
Doesn't strip skin of moisture
Comes in different sizes
Does not break me out

Cons:

None

I have been using this cleanser for 2 years faithfully. I mean, I never switch. This cleanser does a better job of cleansing my skin after 12 hour shift (with light makeup) than products that I have paid $30 a bottle for. It does not lather, but it gets my skin nice and clean without making it feel tight. This cleasner does not have a fragrance, so it smells a little blah. I sweep on a glycolic acid based toner afterward, very gently. No makeup or dirt comes off on the cotton ball. Then I use Salicylic acid gel for exfoliation, followed by 2.5% BP gel as a spot treatment for the occasional pimple or 2. Then I use the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. The reason I mention this moisturizer specifically is that it is the only moisturizer I have ever used that doesn't break me out or make my face burn. Then I use Elta MD oil free sunscreen 40 which is also super gentle and non greasy. Hope this helps.
