Pros:

Gentle.
Sulfate free.
Helps prevent breakout.
Hardly smells.
It's doesn't irritate my skin.
Makes my skin soft.
It's creamy.
It feels nice.
Doesn't strip the moisture off your skin.

Cons:

It doesn't clear up my ance.
Could be too gentle for those who have worst ance.

It took me a few years to finally find a good face wash. I've used a lot of different face wash and none of them worked for me. Cetaphil is the best face wash I've tried so far. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't clear my ance completely. I used to breakout once or twice a month but this has help prevent me from breaking out. and If I do breakout, its because I'm stressed out. This face wash is so gentle and creamy. It feels so nice against my skin. It doesn't foam but I've read somewhere that sulfate is what makes a cleanser foam and it's bad for you. So in that case I'm fine the way it is. My face feels so soft, clean, and refreshed. Works for me:)

Pros:

This has done wonders for my otherwise very dry skin. One of the best products I have used.

The softness and smoothness of my skin makes me feel much younger.

Pros:

Smooth, soft, clear and clean skin!

Cons:

None!

I have never had acne until a few months before I turned 24, I have had acne for 5 months now and I was using the clean and clear acne treatment but that wasn't working for me so I switched to proactive and it made my breakouts worst! I then was doing some research online to see if there were any other ways to get rid of my acne and saw some reviews on cetaphil! I went out and bought the daily cleanser along with the daily moisturizer with spf and it worked wonders for me! I have been using cetaphil for about 2 months now, and my skin has cleared up soooo much! I am happy to have my normal skin back again! But I will never stop using cetaphil its great for everyday and every stage! Love it! I recommend this to anyone who has suffered from bad acne as I did!

Pros:

Very gentle, smooth on skin, doesn't burn eyes. GREAT for eye makeup removal. Non-comedogenic.

Cons:

Does not remove foundation.

This is without a doubt the best cleanser I've ever used, and believe me, I've tried them all! I went to the dermatologist at age 15 with horrible acne and he recommended I use this as a starter for any kind of "regimen". I've noticed that nobody else has mentioned that this stuff CAN be used without water. It works just as well for me, I just towel it off. It's GREAT for eye makeup removal, but as for face makeup, well... wear non-comedogenic makeup! Love it. Word of advice: Buy the generic brand (Equate, Walgreen's, CVS). It's cheaper and works just the same.

Pros:

It USED to be a decent product as it did not contain SLS. I used to use this product but the ingredients seem to have changed right along with the packaging.

Cons:

Contains a lot of irritating ingredients:
Propylene Glycol and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate are both known toxic skin irritants. This product also contains a bunch of parabens.
My skin reacted big time!

Ingredients: Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Stearyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben. Cetaphil used to "brag" on it's old packaging that it was "Sodium Lauryl Sulfate" free and now it is the fourth ingredient on the list. How a product can brag to be "gentle" yet contain so many harmful and irritating ingredients is beyond me. Google all the ingredients and see for yourself.

Pros:

Very gentle cleanser that doesn't irritate, pleasant smell that doesn't overwhelm, smooth consistency, takes off the tinted moisturizer I use, and nondrying.

Cons:

For me, none.

This is a wonderful cleanser for sensitive, dry skin (which I have). I can't imagine it being bad for anyone. It also significantly improved my skin. Much of my acne, which I had previously ascertained was from irritation, vanished. I now have two to three very small pimples, which are most likely due to my hair products. I also have no more flakies. If you have dry skin, you know how valuable that is. I use this in conjunction with 2% BP on spots (only a few times a week or the surrounding skin goes to flake-land).
