Pros:

price, fragrance free, GENTLE, cleans without stripping

Cons:

none so far!

Why have I waited so long to try this? I have had moderate to severe acne since I was 11. I'm now 30. I have tried everything under the sun, even all natural products. Nothing has worked like this. I cleanse with Cetaphil twice a day, morning and night, using it without water like the instructions on the back say. I wipe it off with a damp very soft face cloth that I got from the Body Shop. In the morning, I follow that with Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid. At night, I don't put anything on after I cleanse. My skin has cleared up dramatically. What this has proved to me is that all those "acne" products that I've been using over the years have been too rough on my skin, which I now realize is sensitive. I'm so impressed with how much my skin has cleared up without BP! I've used BP off and on for years. I don't even miss "washing" my face! I also don't miss that dry and stripped feeling that I would always get with other cleansers that I've used. Cetaphil I HEART you!

Finally!
This is the ONLY cleanser I have been able to use with my cystic acne. It does not irritate my skin. I actually started buying the knock off version because it has one less ingredient. I am convinced it works because it doesn't have a lot of stuff in it compared to others. I have never used the bar version because I read it is bad for acne prone skin.... Anyway, give it a try!

Great for sensitive skin
I found that my previous cleanser was way too harsh on my skin. I was red, itching, and flaking. I started using this product twice a day in combination with my BHA lotion and my skin looks so healthy. I don't recommend this product for clearing up acne (although it does NOT cause acne), but if you are using other products that contain SA or BP and are just looking for something that will hydrate and gently cleanse your skin, this is a great purchase. It also does not remove makeup. I wear makeup almost everyday, so I just use makeup removing wipes prior to washing my skin, and it works out just fine. Great buy if you want something gentle and use in combination with a toner and BHA!

Recommend this product a million times over and over again
This liquid cleanser is a great for sensitive skin because it doesn't cause any irritation and it is scent-free. It also contains the oily skin types by not over drying. I have been using this for over 2 years and I also recommend this fantastic blog that helped me as well: acnebegone.wix. com/feelyourselfagain FYI - need to remove the space before "com"

It's an excellent cleanser.

Pros:

Very Gentle
Doesn't neutralize the BP
Skin feels smooth after washing

Cons:

Doesn't lather enough

It's probably the best cleanser I've ever used. I've used quite a number of cleansers but I like this a lot. This doesn't help clear up acne but it's an excellent cleanser paired with Benzoyl Peroxide.

Pros:

- No harsh chemicals
- Soft
- Can be used with or without water

Cons:

- Does not remove heavy makeup at first wash

I use this product everyday and night as my cleanser. It doesn't contain any chemicals like other cleansers, it simply washes my face clean and makes it feel a lot smoother. Although this product does not deal with acne or pimples directly, it is the best daily clenser to feel fresh and not have irritating stings on clogged or infected areas. My favourite cleansing product.
