Pros:

Very gentle, leaves skin smooth and soft, doesn't irratate skin, clears up acne

This product is the best cleanser I've ever used my acne is mild and skin type is combination/oily. Unlike most cleansers it doesnt make your skin flaky. It leaves your skin smooth and clean.

Pros:

Leaves skin so clean and smooth. The cleanser itself feels smooth and spreads easily around your face so the bottle lasts a long time. It smells amazing! I started using it a week ago and my face is already way, way noticabley clear! :)

Cons:

Nothing! :)

IT WORKS. I tried EVERYTHING! I tried all of the clean & Clear products, Neutrogena, Biore, PROACTIVE, Clearasil, EVERYTHING and all of it either didn't work, made my face bright red and hot, or dried my skin out like crazy. Finally after all of these years I have found the answer! THANK YOU CETAPHIL! My sister also uses it and her skin is so flawless! If you have sensitive skin, I would highly suggest this. :)

Pros:

Not too foamy. Cleans well. Doesn't leave face too dry. Cleans off oils.

Perfect when followed with a light moisturizer to put back some moisture on the skin (follow with small amount of Cetaphil cream). Better to follow with a non-clogging cream then have clogging face oils! THUMBS UP on this product! LOVE IT!!

Pros:

gentle, fragrance free, dye free, leaves skin feeling fresh and clean, cheaper than less effective products

Cons:

none

I have tried many cleansers, some work, some don't, and most loose their effectiveness after about 2 weeks. NOT THE CASE WITH THIS PRODUCT! I love their moisturizers as well because they are dye and fragrance free I would like to try the gentle cleanser as well, and see which works best for my skin.

Oily Rocacea ridden skin
I've tried everything from creams, washes, scrubs and medication to treat what is apparently rosacea. The only thing to keep my face from flaring up is using a hard scrub like st ives, but this always results in extremely oily skin. EXTREMELY. I've tried using only water or foams/ light cleansers in the past but bottled it within a week, because my fave is guaranteed to become very scaly, flaky, red and broken.. almost like broken scabs. This has been the case for the past 15 years. A few days ago, I've used only Cetaphil.. which after the second day resulted in my face feeling scaly and oily and red once again.. until today when I began using a Rose Water toner spray... I've never seen such a quick result. By this point I would have gone back to scrubbing my face using St Ives with cold water and applying many different lotions and creams to help calm it, but using the Rose Water spray, it's calmed and soothed my face. I think my problem has been over exfoliating, by using the scrub morning and night every day, but I do that to help keep the scaly rough texture and redness at bay. So I believe I've been creating this problem for myself. Hopefully by using Cetaphil as a wash, then spraying a light mist of Rose Water it will keep my face from going off its head for the future. I'm completely gobsmacked at how much this has calmed. Redness, roughness and the oil has all reduced MASSIVELY. If anyone's suffering from Rocacea and oily skin and you feel you just want to brick up the front door of your house and call it quits, please do try Cetaphil Wash for morning and evening followed by a light mist of Rose Water spray. Andddd breathe.

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.
