Pros:

Very Gentle, no irritation. Easy to use and can find the product anywhere.

Cons:

None

I am 38 and have used the product for 20 years. A friend, who had clear skin, recommended it to me. I didn't believe this gentle product would keep my face clear, but it has. I was plagued with acne in my teens and wish I had known about Cetaphil before. My 13 year old son, who has had acne for about a year, started using it last week and his face is almost completely clear. I didn't realize that the typical acne cleanser was causing the irritation and acne. He had been using the Neutrogena On the Spot for a year, because it is the least strong benzoyl peroxide product out there. Thumbs up for Cetaphil!!! I do use store brands also and have found them just as good...

Pros:

This product is so gentle, you hardly feel like it's washing your face! But as Dan says, the less irritation, the better! I use the generic version of the Cetaphil. It's cheaper and does the same thing.

Cons:

None that I can think of!

My sister and I had our faces "analyzed" one time by some beauty machine that some lady had who was trying to sell us her products. My sister was using a different facial wash than I was. Well, when we looked at my face through the beauty analyzer machine, my face looked AWESOME! I thank God for you, Dan. And my sister switched to my facial wash. Unfortunately, the beauty lady didn't make any sale with us. I was on the RIGHT track with the REGIMEN.

Pros:

Very light and doesnt dry out my skin. It's perfect for use with the stuff my derms gave me

Cons:

Hasn't really done much for my acne, you should use it in combination with something =]

i would recomend it but only if you have something else to use in addition to it, or have very light acne

This is by far the best cleanser i have ever used in my life. I use this as well as my clinda-solugel solution and it's amazing. It's healthy for your skin, theres very few ingredients and it even TASTES GOOD! recommended for everybody with acne becaue everybody needs to use a mild cleanser and this one is!

Pros:

No fragrance, clean feeling. Doesn't dry out my skin- it actually moistened it. Doesn't leave my face feeling dry and flaky. Doesn't clog pores. Hypoallergenic. Dermatologist tested.

Cons:

None. If you expect this to clear your acne- it won't. I use this in order to wash my face because i put on my acne medication AFTER i wash. This is perfect for me.

Definitely worth it. Perfect face wash that doesn't dry out your skin. I have fair skin that gets dried out fast with acne washes. It also is very sensitive and gets red if i put on too much acne medication. This does wonders for me.

Pros:

a must if you are using harsh prescription acne products, or if you have really dry skin.

Cons:

doesn't clear off eye makeup/foundation.

It's a must for those with harsh, drying or irritating acne prescriptions (e.g., Differin, Retin A Micro, BP, etc.). It does not irritate or dry out skin, and actually leaves skin feeling smooth and clean. Don't use to clean off makeup though. It contains no acne medication, so obviously it won't directly kill acne bacteria or anything, but used in conjunction with another acne fighting product, it does its job well.

Pros:

It is very light and it keeps face moisturized.

Cons:

It didn't do anything for my acne. I actually think it made it worse. And I don't have super oily skin. I have combo. But it's always worth a try to see if it works for you!

Didn't help acne for me :(
