Pros:

Feels like your skin is being cleaned, leaves no dried up flakes. 5 for fragrance because I can barely notice it

Cons:

When it's on your face it feels disgusting. Definately will take some getting used to, and watch out when you first get it, it may not be as thick as you expect it to be.

I recommend it.

Pros:

I noticed that it is very gentle to the skin.

Cons:

I dont like how it doesnt lather. It feels like your not even removing any dirt or oil.

Good for sensitive skin. Give it a try.

Pros:

Cheap, large quantity, no fragrance, not too thick or thin.

Cons:

Can be too runny, may leave your face feeling greasy (like water bubbles up on it)

This is a very gentle cleanser - but for some people - it may be TOO gentle. The consistency is like a glycerin wash - but it doesn't contain glycerin. It helped heal up some cystic acne because it was nice and gentle - but after that healed up - it couldn't keep the oil off my skin (too gentle) so it created small pimples overall. If you need something very basic - try this. But even Dan's cleanser dries a bit more than this - to help with removing oil.

Pros:

Doesn't dry, doesn't clog pores, cleans skin

Cons:

Doesn't treat or prevent acne

Cetaphil is a good product for oily, dry, or combination skin, but it doesn't help to heal acne; it just cleans your skin.

Pros:

It really leaves my skin feeling soft.
I have sensitive skin, so it doesn't irritate my skin or anything like that.
I like purchase this stuff at Costco, cause its $15 bucks for two huge bottles, and each bottle last me for three to four months

Cons:

I haven't got a chance to renewed my costco card, so I had to go buy it from Wal Mart which cost $10 bucks for a koo size bottle.
It ran out, so I bought the Cetaphil thats for oily to normal skin, & that made me breakout.

Cetaphil does work for me, but not the oily to normal skin. If you have sensitive skin like me, try it, and you might like it. My skin was completely cleared until it ran out on me, and I had to use the oily to normal skin. But I'm going to renew my card for Costco & purchase the original Cetaphil.

Pros:

Does not dry out skin and has greatly improved my complexion.

Cons:

At first the absense of foaming lather was a bit awkward, but it is easy to get over if the product helps your skin.

Like all products Cetaphil will not work for all skin types. My skin is sensitive and prone to dryness. I tried many different products to rid myself of acne to no avai. I finally realized that my dry skin was actually the problem. I was using drying acne medications that only further dried out my skin, which made my skin produce more oil to combat the dryness, resulting in more acne. Of course Cetaphil alone will not solve all your problems. You also need to exfoliate a few times a week. I would recommend a gentle exfoliator and if you are going to apply a topical acne treatment after washing your face follow up with some light non-greasy moisturizer. One product is not going to be your cure-all. If you wear makeup I'd also recommend wearing a tinted moisturizer vs liquid foundation or compact powder. And never wear your makeup to bed! Also if you are interested in using Cetaphil as a makeup remover I recommend you purchase the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser.

Pros:

great for my sensitive skin. It reduced redness and irritation, did not over-dry my skin, and also cleared my acne up in about a month. I think it is a great product except....

Cons:

...Did not remove make-up...but after using this product for some time i no longer had to wear the stuff

A great product for sensitive and acne prone skin!

Pros:

Leaves my skin smooth. Clears up the skin noticeably. Can be used without water (for those late nights when you come from the nightclub and you don't feel like washing your face). Gentle enough to remove your eye make up. Multipurpose.

Cons:

At first the consistency of the product feels weird, but you get used. The new price is expensive (new label desing). The generic brand makes my skin itchy.

It worth it.
