Pros:

-Doesn't cause acne.
-Doesn't irritate skin.
-Good for sensitive skin.

Cons:

-Doesn't prevent and clear acne.
-Hasn't done much to my skin.
-Isn't good for oily skin.

My skin is oily, sensitive. I've got a lot of pimples on my forehead, and Cetaphil isn't clearing this off. My skin is still really oily and shiny after I use this bar. The bar lasts long - but I've wanted to try the skin cleanser for a long time. It hasn't added to my pimples, hasn't irritated my skin (like other soap bars do), and is the best bar I've use for sensitive skin (only bar - maybe, that I've used). For people who don't have oily skin and not much pimples, this is recommended.

Pros:

I started using after using Pro-Activ which had made my face super irritated, this was a gift from heaven. It is super gentle, takes makeup completly off and very easy to use

Cons:

none, it's great!!

The main thing in Dans regimen is to be very gentle with the face, no hard rubbing. And this allows you to do just that but still leaves your face feeling clean and fresh in preparation for the BP or any other treatment. This product in it's self is not inteded to treat acne. It only preps the face for the treatment YOU MUST use afterwards. Plus clears bacteria (If you use the anti-bacterial bar)Buy it at Walmart, that's where it's cheapest

Pros:

It cleans really well and moisturizes skin

Cons:

It made my face feel tight and dehydrated, quite uncomfortable.

I've used it only about half a week and i'm starting to dislike it. I think my skin is not compatitable or the formula or ingredients that are in it made my skin feel tight.

Pros:

It really makes your skin feel FANTASTIC after using it as well as making your skin look clean!

Cons:

There seems to be an ingredient in it that forms new pimples in less than 24 hours.

The product makes you feel fantastic but after using it less than a day before my face now had 2 large bumps on my cheek that were red and extremely prominent.However the cleanser that comes in the lotion form is really good.

Pros:

Lathers good, rinses easily, I even like the smell, seemed to help keep skin moisturized.

Cons:

None

People, This doesn't get rid of acne. That's not what it's intended for. It doesn't even say it does.It's just a gentle cleanser to prepare your face for the real acne killer, BP. I would highly reccomend this!

great for body/neck acne
very gentle, rich lather, with some moisturizing components. I don't enjoy using bar soap on my face but I use this on my chest, back, neck, and ears. would recommend.

Pros:

Cleans face of dirt and makeup.

Cons:

KIlled my skin!!! DO NOT USE unless you want to end up with dry, peeling, leather-like skin. I used to have pretty normal looking skin ( texture) until I started using this. My skin is horrible now thanks to this. It resembles snake skin.

DO NOT use this for your FACE. It will give you chronic dry, peeling skin. My face looks horrible after using this. I don't think this is meant for your face, mainly for your body. It's just too harsh and drying. Use, the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser instead. It's very gentle.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Strong fragrance, also leaves an annoying film on my skin.

Not good for oily skin types, if your skin is dry from accutane maybe a good choice but if your dry from benzoyl peroxide or other drying topical products maybe you should think twice about using those harsh topicals.
