Pros:

- good lather, removes makeup well
- fresh feeling, smells good
- clears acne well. Whiteheads gone in 2 weeks.
- keeps moisture when combined with cetaphil dry skin moisturizer.

Cons:

- does not clear little red bumps, but they are easy to cover with makeup
- doesn't clear scars

Best for use over summer to Lear acne before school. I suggest starting in may and combining it with an acne medication. Will keep purchasing!

Pros:

Gentle
Made skin smooth

Cons:

BROKE ME OUT!

I ordered this thinking that it seemed to be the perfect product for me; gentle, non clogging and everything. For a while I wondered what was starting to break me out again and causing my skin to be bumpy like then I realized it was this! To test it I used some on my chest and I noticed the next day I had this little lumps like whiteheads appear. Just take caution when using this!

Pros:

Skin becomes more smoothlike, and is very gentle, as cetaphil cleanser claims it does.

Cons:

Been using it for 4 weeks now and...Nothing.

It may work for some, may not for others, and may tak a while for some to see results.

Pros:

Gentle, fragrance free, soothes irritated skin and won't cause over drying.

Cons:

Not available in many high street stores in the UK.

I have tried various topical medications for persistent adult acne, most of which irritate my sensitive skin and exasperate the problem. Cetaphil products are perfectly suited to dry & sensitive skin and allow better natural moisture retention than other products. My skin is the best it has been in many years, since discovering Cetaphil.

Pros:

I Like it because it doesnt make my skin very dry and it actually helps!!

Cons:

Its doesnt get that deep cleaning feeling. Doesnt remove makeup well

My doctor told me to try this because of my acne. I Like it Im just so use to my scrubs! So this is a little different for me. My skin is a little dry because of the creams he put me on so I use the lotion also.

Pros:

Very light and doesnt dry out my skin. It's perfect for use with the stuff my derms gave me

Cons:

Hasn't really done much for my acne, you should use it in combination with something =]

i would recomend it but only if you have something else to use in addition to it, or have very light acne

Pros:

Works well for combination skin because it doesn't seem to strip the skin of it's natural oils.

Cons:

Can feel greasy when applied to the skin, but you get use to it after a while.

It's not like other irritating cleansers, you should totally try it.

Pros:

Its extremely gentle on your skin and I dont think that it breaks you out though it will happen eventually.

Cons:

I really dont like the packaging, I wish it was in the pump form where you could push down on the knob to dispense it.

Its a great product and altogether cetaphil is a geat brand of acne treatments. Just dont use the cleansing soap as well cause its the same as this product and if you do use both it will break you out severely.
