Pros:

It makes my skin feel smooth and fresh. Also, it cleanses it very nicely.

Cons:

In beginning it dryed out my skin, but my skin got used to it and didn't get dry anymore.

I use solodyn, differin, and plexion with this product. This combination cleared my skin and I very rarely get breakouts now. Go see a derm if you are having trouble and STOP using over the counter THEY DO NOT WORK.

Pros:

gentle, fragrance-free, cheap, non-drying.

Cons:

not sure how effective in removing makeup.

I've tried using neutrogena extra gentle cleanser for a week and it clogged up my pores. Switch to this and I've no problem so far.

Pros:

Gentle on my VERY sensitive skin, it was recommended by my dermatologist as well as discovered by research to be the best facial cleanser in the book Clear Skin Diet. Over-the-counter and pretty cheap for a big bottle!

Cons:

I wish the sensitive skin version came in a pump form. It also doesn't feel like soap (no lather) which takes some getting used to.

This should probably be your basic facial cleanser, and the bonus is that if you don't want to use a heavy moisturizer you can just pat it off instead of rinsing and it keeps skin soft-- these were, in fact, instructions from my dermatologist, and, although he was a bit of a quack in other ways, THIS was definitely a great idea. I also occasionally exfoliate and use different cleansers to cleanse a little more deeply.

Pros:

This cleanser is great it doesn’t dry out my skin and my breakouts have really clamed down since.

Cons:

None

My skin is really sensitive but I still get terrible breakouts, most cleansers designed to rid pimples are way to drying and only increased my skin's oil production. The great thing for me is that I can use the benzoyl peroxide cream my GP prescribed me and not end up waking up all dry and flaky!

Pros:

Very, very, gentle for my sensitive skin, does not overdry or make my face feel tight. Can be used without water/ for makeup removal. Very cheap!

Cons:

Large, unwieldy bottle. Slightly unsatisfying because it doesn't foam like a soap.

Since I have started using the gentle skin cleanser, I have not had a single breakout. My skin is calm, clear, and soft! I love this stuff and I wish I had used it in high school! I do occasionally use other cleansers so that my face doesn't get too used to it, the same way I occasionally use a clarifying or deep moisturizing shampoo. Mostly I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub in addition to the Cetaphil- about once a week, I like to exfoliate a little bit. This combo has worked for me!

Pros:

Gentle, non-irritating, effective, leaves skin feeling clean and soft, not tight and dried out. Good for post-acne sufferers and those with sensitive skin. Smells very clean and fresh.

Cons:

Can help with, but does not eliminate acne lesions. Expensive.

It's undeniably the best facial cleaner for people AFTER your major problems with acne have been solved. I found that many other facial cleaners were too harsh after my acne was gone, and actually made it just come back. This product will reduce minor acne, and makes your skin feel awesome, with no irritation or dryness. However, if you suffer from a sudden breakout of more severe acne, it will not be as effective. It is pricey, but worth it.

Pros:

a must if you are using harsh prescription acne products, or if you have really dry skin.

Cons:

doesn't clear off eye makeup/foundation.

It's a must for those with harsh, drying or irritating acne prescriptions (e.g., Differin, Retin A Micro, BP, etc.). It does not irritate or dry out skin, and actually leaves skin feeling smooth and clean. Don't use to clean off makeup though. It contains no acne medication, so obviously it won't directly kill acne bacteria or anything, but used in conjunction with another acne fighting product, it does its job well.
