Pros:

face did look cleanly I guess

Cons:

gae me acne (gave me two reddish bumps on my nose and gave me one bump under my eye that weren't there before I got into the shower and used the product to be exact )

difficult to use in the shower because of the way the bottle is shaped. Doesn't have a normal bottle shape

So I tried this after having developed acne as soon as I got from out of the shower, I quickly sent it back to WalMart. The Walmart. I also didn't like at least the Walmart price at 9 dollars and something cents. So yea, I sent it back and now I'm using something else that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with no flaws. :D By the way, I only used it once and I have heard the phrase 'it gets worse before it gets better.' But I just didn't want to take any chances and I'm glad I didn't given I've found something that works for me.

Pros:

~Very gently on skin
~Redness reduce
~Less oily skin after use.
~A little bit over drying after wash

Cons:

Doesn't remove makeup

I wash my face with this in the morning and night. In the mornings I splash Cold water to my face to get the blood flowing , then I splash with warm water to open my pores up. Then i pump 2 pumps of cetaphil and lather into my entire face. Them i rinse with warm water . Then I splash my face with cold water to close the pores. Then i let my face air dry. This product is very good if you will like to reduce redness. So far i haven't seen an improvement on my acne but i only have been using this product for a week an a half.

Pores do not have muscles thus, they do not open or close. The only thing that expands pores is the matter clogged within them.

Pros:

Pretty good. :)

- Pore size reduced a bit
- Should be used on a daily basis with other Anti-Acne products. [Good Combination;]

- Nothing

I finished the whole bottle. :D Very effective and planning to buy another bottle.

Pros:

-gentle
-simple to use

Cons:

- broke out after one month of use
- does not really get makeup of
- does not help much with acne

I think this product would be good if you have sensitive skin. However, this product just didn't work for me. I have been using proactive for a few years now but unfortunately I never got much results. I switched to cetaphil face wash with the cetaphil light lotion after reading some reviews but after one month I started to get break outs on my forehead and chin that I never had before. In fact it was the worst break out I ever had. So now I'm switching back to proactive until I can find a better product.

Pros:

- the scent is very mild

Cons:

- not very lather-y
- dries out skin

I'll keep going with this because I've bought it and will see it through, but it's pretty irritating. I'll give it another few days to see if the irritation subsides. It was a change from the Clean and Clear, but I'm not sure it's a favorite. I'll edit this review in a few weeks when I get a better feel for what it really does.

Pros:

Cleared my skin
Reduced my acne scaring
Didn't dry out my skin too much
My face actually felt clean

Cons:

Dried out my skin a little, but nothing a moisturizer couldn't fix

I was using Proactiv for almost a year and then this past November I stopped and my skin went crazy. For about 3-4 months I had horrible breakouts, big, red and painful. I tried everything under the sun because I didn't want to use Proactiv anymore but I got fed up and I tried going back to it after all and it only made my skin worse. So finally after another 3 months of being back on and seeing no results I decided to give Cetaphil a try since I had used it previously and had heard such great things about it. Well let me tell you, the first week I saw results, My skin feels soft and my breakouts stopped and my acne scars are even fading. I'm so so happy with the results. I guess what they say is really true, sometimes simple is better! I strongly recommend this is you're having trouble with your skin, sometimes something simple goes a long way!

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.
