Pros:

Cheap, gentle, works well. Keeps my face clear but also believe it has helped prevent wrinkles.

Cons:

I would prefer a lather but once I got used to it I was fine.

After fighting acne for 25 years I have tried it all. Every dermatologist I have ever seen recommends this product and every time I try something new I end up coming back to this. My face is clearer, my wallet is happier, and even though I am in my late 30's I don't have any wrinkles. It's hard to beat. I did try the oily skin version but found this one kept my skin clearer.

Pros:

Very gentle on the skin; never leaves my skin feeling dried out; I love the pump bottle.

Cons:

Have to wash my face twice each time when I'm wearing makeup because it won't remove it after just the first pump. Also I need to follow up with a toner after just to make sure I get all the makeup and dead skin cells off.

I would recommend this cleanser to anyone who has problems with feeling super dried out after washing their skin. I've tried many different kinds of cleansers, this one is my favorite. Best to follow it up with Cetaphil moisturizer as well.

Pros:

Everything.

Cons:

None at all.

Keeps my skin balanced and under control. I ALWAYS come running back to this cleanser anytime I try something else. I have dry, acne prone skin, and this is the only thing that works for me. Thanks Cetaphil!

Pros:

my skin really does feel cleansed! good job cetaphil

Cons:

ive only used it for a few days so i cant really say anything bad. all i can say is that my face not only is starting to look clearer but feels clearer and cleaner! i wasnt too crazy about the way the bottle looked u need a new design lol.

after reading all of the reviews on this product i am going to continue to use the whole bottle ive only used it for about 2 days and it feels good. at first it felt i was puting hand wash on my face and i wasnt sure it would work but my skin actually does feel clean. i was dying to try proactiv but ive heard very good reviews on it and then very bad reviews on it and it way too expansive mann! are they crazy 40 to 60 dolars a month on skin medication. even it works i dont think it would be the correct thing for me because ive never had bad acne in my life but i have very small whiteheads on my forehead and im going to give cetaphil a try. i believe cetaphil can work and since its such a great cleansing cream they should wild with it and come up with very good acne medications to take proactiv out of business but dont make it too expensive! well anywho i realy like cetaphil i bought it cuz i heard about it from a magazine.

Pros:

Smooth and moisturizes even in washing. It's not harsh on dry and sensitive skin.

Cons:

Packaging can be better but with the affordable price, I can live with that.

I think this is the best cleanser I know of. Believe me, I've tried everything since my skin started acting up since I was 11. Now I am 28. I've started using this product since last year and I will never go back to anything else.

Pros:

Very Gentle

Cons:

Too Gentle - does not remove makeup well

I have very sensitive skin, which this product is good for, but if I wanted to remove make-up from my face, this cleanser does not get rid of the make-up.

Pros:

Gentle on the skin

Cons:

Not a very clean feel

Rather costly for soap

It just doesn't feel like I cleaned my face well after I use it. I don't have a refreshed feeling at all. I think when I used it without water it felt like I was cleansing my face more thoroughly, but it's more covenient to use water.
