Pros:

It's a good all-over cleanser. It left my skin soft, and my face has cleared up somewhat.

Cons:

The scent is a bit stronger than I would like, but it doesn't seem to irritate my sensitive skin.

Overall, gentle yet affective.

Pros:

Cheap.

Cons:

Dried my skin out and made it itchy.

This did not work well for me at all. When I used it, it did not rinse cleanly (even with a facial srubby pad) and it dried out my face and left it feeling "chalky". After I put on moisturizer, my skin still felt dry and itched all day. I have oily skin that is also sensitive so it is nearly impossible for me to find a good cleanser. The closest I've come is Lush Fresh Pharmacy, which has calamine in it which soothes skin, and it also takes most of the oil away. However, as with all Lush stuff, it's EXPENSIVE and I was hoping Cetaphil would be a cheaper alternative. Oh well.

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!

Pros:

Lathers very well, easy to shave with, no left behind residue.

Cons:

Expensive(like $10USD in Mexico)

Since I can't buy any of DKR's products I was looking for an over-the-counter cleanser that would be very gentle with my face. With the reviews I found about the Cetaphil Bar, I decided to give it a try. It's just perfect for me! I've been using liquid cleansers with BHA to exfoliate my skin, but even with moisturizers my face was extremely dry and itchy. Now washing my face with it was the most important thing I did. I have some usual breakouts, but not as often as usual, and it happens when I don't wash and/or apply BP on my face. Very good bar, specially when you shave!

Pros:

After my skin got really irritated from the Neutrogena Acne Body Scrub, I tried this. I noticed a big difference in my chest and back area at first, but as I continued, I kept breaking out normally. It does leave your skin smooth though.

Cons:

It didn't do that much towards my breakouts.

Everybody's skin is different, so try a few different products and see which ones work best for your skin.

I use this in conjuntion with differin gel at night and the combo has given me perfect skin. i do like to use the liquid version to get rid of my face powder so i sometimes alternate between the two

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
