Unlike shaving creams that irritate or dry your skin, Cetaphil (equate - walmart brand) keeps your skin soft and smooth when you shave.

Pros:

Smooth texture, extremely gentle, no fragrance, easy to find in stores. Makes skin soft.

Cons:

The pump bottle is hard to travel with! Even when I turn it to "close" somehow it still gets all over everything. :)

I've been using this product for years. And while I still break out, it is the only product I have consistently used while switching from medication to medication. Never makes my skin irritated or feel greasy-- especially important when I was on accutane and looking for non-drying face washes. I like to think of it as a really watered down lotion that you wash off with water.

Pros:

Used with water, cleans extremely well without making your skin dry afterwards. Balances moisture content. Makes skin feel soft. Affordable. Doesn't irritate present acne. Preventive to new acne formation since its very mild.

Cons:

Needs a little getting used to (if you're used to lather). Need to use a lot for cleansing to be effective. Otherwise, dries out fast when cleansing.

You won't feel squeaky clean, but your skin will feel very soft and supple. All the dirt and oil gone- but you're spared the oil overdrive (esp. on the nose!) afterwards as this cleanser doesn't strip your natural oils, rather it moisturizes. So surprisingly, it controlled oiliness on my combination skin quite well in comparison to most 'oil-control' cleansers which seemed to aggravate the problem. Used for 6 months along with the regimen. Indispensable. Best cleanser I ever used.

Pump bottle which locks, removes oil. dirt and helps with acne. I LOVE IT

Cons:

NONE

i love i use in the morning and night because i have oily oily face and it completely feels sooo much lighter just after i use it! i love this product! i will stick to this product. I have been using it for about two months it does get a little oily in afternoon even though i use it the morning but that as much as it would without using the cleanser so i love it. and i definitely recommend it.

Pros:

Very gental, helped clear my skin in a matter of a week or so. Large containers can be found at almost any drug/retail store including Costco and it's inexpensive.

Cons:

none

After using Proactive for years, I switched to Cetaphil. After about 2 weeks of use, I threw out my Proactive. I have used Cetaphil for over a year. It has saved me hundreds of dollars and my skin has never been better.
