Pros:

- Soap-free
- Very gentle
- Fragrance free
- Can use it with or without water
- Removes even make-up very effectively

Cons:

- A bit expensive

Bought this on Amazon, since ordering Dan's products would give me anouther 50$ or so delivery costs... So I got this together with PanOxyl 2.5% BP gel and Cataphil Moisturizing Lotion for all skin types, to start on the Regimen. I've been using this for about a month now and my skin has considerably cleared up. I especially like this cleanser for its gentleness. It's soap-free and thus doesn't dry out the skin too much, especially in combination with BP. Also, it's fragrance-free and does not have unnessecary ingredients which may further irritate the skin while using it in The Regimen. I can't say anything about this clearing up the skin though, as I use it in The Regimen... I will order this again, even after having my face cleared up completely :)

Pros:

non - comedogenic
fragrance free
DIDNT brake me out
left skin smooth
took off makeup too

Cons:

dont really have any.

i am absolutely in love with this acne cleanser, i have just about tried everything.. from proactive to clean&clear to neutrogena even the stuff the professionals gave me. nothing worked like cetaphil did for me. my skin is sensitive , gets dry, but very oily in afternoons. all my friends were using cetaphil so i tried it too, and i can proudly say ill never go back, after washing my face cetaphil left it so fresh and clean. id first rinse my face with some water just to smear the makeup off a bit. then i would wash it with cetaphil cleanser, dry it , & then use the cetaphil moisturizer. id let it sit for 2-3 minutes just to make sure it all sunk into my skin, then apply the proactive acne mask a thin layer across my whole face, but a spot more on those hormonal zits then go to bed, wake up wash my face add the moisturizer then the makeup to start my day. and that was my routine as simple as that. i definetly recommend this product ! its amazing

Pros:

Noncomedogenic
Doesn't cause breakouts
Gentle
Feels good on skin

Cons:

Doesn't take off makeup

It was a very gentle face wash and seems to have all that you want in a face wash, but I did not care for the texture and felt like it did not thoroughly clean my skin and it didn't take off my makeup completely, kinda just smeared it, not good! But on a positive note, and this is important to me, it didn't cause me to breakout.

Pros:

-very light
-leaves my pores feeling open, and not tight
-doesn't break me out
-does not make my face dry

Cons:

-does not foam

I love this! I got it about a week ago because it seems every one of my friends use it, so I decided to try it. I used to use the Oxy face wash, but it just wasn't working as well as I would like it to. When I first started using the Cetaphil, I had a HUGE, RED pimple right in between my eyebrows, after two nights, it started going down. I was amazed! I also use the Oxy spot treatment with this product as my acne routine, and I do both of these plus a moisturizer night and morning, this leaves my skin flawless.

Pros:

Gentle on my skin
Fragrance free
doesnt block your pores
makes my skin soft, and spot free!

Cons:

doesn't foam, which isn't actually a bad thing, most crappy products which have nasty chemicals have ingredients in them which make it foam, thus making ur acne worse!!!

Its a very gentle cleanser, which makes my skin feel really soft, i get dry patches on my skin, but yet i have very oily skin mainly in my t-zone, and i suffer from blemishes! It has a creamy feel when on your skin , moisturizing, but not greasy! soft ,leaving you with skin like a baby's....lol :P

Pros:

Great as a morning Cleanser (use on clean skin)
No smell, feels nice on skin afterwards
Perfect for normal or combination skin

Cons:

Does not remove any make-up
Might be too drying for dry skin sometimes
Does not remove oil, creams, etc.
Expensive

I use it only in the morning when my skin has natural oil and I want to refreshen it. It is easy to use it and skin feels nice afterwards. However, it does not remove foundation, creams etc. I tried many times but does not work.. I gave up to use it as a make up remover and use only as a cleanser.

I used this as a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, which it did so. But it broke me out, alot. Left this wierd film on my face. I am a naturally oily skinned person, but this just made my face an oil slick, it was grossssss.

Pros:

no burning
no itching
no redness
reduces acne
works fast

Cons:

none

i use the daily facial cleanser every morning and every night, and i had very noticeable results within a couple of days. i have oily skin, especially after applying foundation on my face. mostly on my chin, and thats were i get the most breakouts. i also had a lot of redness, but after using cetaphil, it reduced drastically! like everyone else says, it doesnt remove make up well, pretty much mascara. but it takes off the rest of my makeup. after i use the daily cleanser i like to use apricot scrub for daily exfoliation, then i use toner to shrink the pores, then moisturize. i know, sounds like a process but it really works. its worth the 5 - 10 minutes of my day to have healthy skin!

Pros:

I've used dozen of over the counter cleansers from Neutragena to Clarins to Clean&Clear etc etc, NONE of them are as gentle as this one. Leaves your skin soft, clean and refreshed. Instead of red, dry and irritated

Cons:

None that I can think of

Whether or not you have acne, this cleanser is very very gentle on the skin and since most acnes occur as a result of irritation, it doesnt harm to try this product. To me its better than specific acne treatment cleansers when combined with BP.
