Pros:

gentle, fragrance-free, non-drying

Cons:

doesn't lather,

I used Neutrogena oil-free acne wash and it literally caused me to break out. I switched back to cetaphil and my skin was clearer

Pros:

Gentle, non drying.

Cons:

Doesn't lather up like other face washes and also won't remove make up like other foamy type face washes.

This is a really good, inexpensive cleanser. Before this I used Proactiv, the Clinique Acne Solutions 3-step, and then finally the regular Clinique 3 step. While all cleared up a small portion of the acne, they also irritated and dried up my skin. Whenever I wear make up, I use this with a cotton ball to remove the make up then wash my face with it and follow with clarifying lotion (toner) and then moisturizer. I've noticed a difference in my skin -- it is looking more supple and has a healthier glow (I also take Vitamin E daily).

Pros:

Gentle, Cleared my skin, Has improved the texture of my skin

Cons:

Doesn't lather as much as I normally like, and I had to get used to the residue feeling.

I have used EVERYTHING when I encountered acne after my teen years. Proactive dried my skin, others made my skin too oily, and Cetaphil has been the only thing that actually works for me, and it's the LEAST EXPENSIVE! I highly recommend, and wish I had listened to my dermatologist years and years ago.

Pros:

this moisterizer is great on my skin and keeps it clear and unclogged, a great tip is after you wash your face at night, rub a pea size amount on and let dry on your face for a nice smooth feel in the morning, keep hair pulled back until dry! haha.

Cons:

none! :]

this product is awesome! it clears up my minor breakouts OVERNIGHT!!! i recommennd this to EVERYONE.

Pros:

This is a pretty good product, um have been using it for a while after looking at it here. I used to sue Clearasil but that was over drying my face way too much this barely dries it at all but feels ok.

Cons:

I would say this is too gentle as well. I just saw they came out with one for normal to oily skin which I may try to see if it drys a bit more but to jsut get your pores clean this will do it. DOnt use it expecting your face to be all dry and hard it

I would get it. If you have oily skin you might want to try the oily skin version and see if ti works.

Pros:

absolutely perfect

I buy the bottle with the pump, more cost effective. The perfect cleanser for me, but I sometimes alternate with the gentle cleansing bar for more lather. I use differin at night, and this combo has given me perfect skin

Pros:

Clears acne.
Makes skin soft.

Cons:

Price.

Before I used Cetaphil, I tried Clean and Clear, Clearisil, Sea Breeze, and so many other products but none of them cleared my acne! Cetaphil cleared me up in like a week or so. It also made my skin so smooth. Tne only thing I would change is the price. It's kinda high.
