Pros:

cheaper than some, and seems to work.
Doesn't dry out skin - doesn't contain sodium lauryl/laureth suflates and derivatives

Cons:

Not sure it reduces acne, but it doesn't seem to contribute to it

Good for sensitive, combination/normal 35 yr old skin.

Pros:

This cleanser is very gently. It works well and rinses clean. I have had very good results using this product.

Cons:

It is very smelly. I do not like the fragrance AT ALL!

Good bang for your buck. You get lots of the stuff for a reasonable price. Try not to be put off by the fragrance.

Pros:

Clear gel; pump bottle with lock for travel.

Cons:

Not good to remove makeup. I use HSN's Signature Club A Meltdown for that. It's the best.

Reccommended by my dermatolgist for after laser and every day for rosacea.

Pros:

The smell isn't bad.

Cons:

The ingredient list scares me. Expensive for what it is.

I was pestered into trying this product. It did not work (even slightly) for my skin type. Kind of expensive too, for what it is. Also, the ingredient list scares me. Years after trying Cetaphil, I am using a different product that has natural ingredients and it works for my skin. I have a friend that swears this product works for her, but she also has very decent skin in the first place!

Pros:

After using product you instantly feel a smooth not-to-dry-but-still-clean finish.

Cons:

On the pricy side..but worth it

I just love this stuff, iv been using it for a year now and iv never been so crazy about a facial wash before. Iv tried everything in the past, most either caused dryness or too much moisture. Perfect balance!

Pros:

Gentle, leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.

Cons:

None!

Check this out you guys!!! I found a walgreens version with EXACTLY the same ingredients as the cetaphil product, $5.99 but buy one get one free right now at walgreens. The lotion is also BOGO and $4.99 I think it was. I have been using these products in conjunction with a 2% BP gel by clean and clear (which I also got at walgreens) .75 oz for $4.99. This stuff is GREAT! No stinging or discomfort at all. It has aloe and chamomile in it so its super gentle on your skin and works awesome. I have been using this regimen for only 4 days and already my skin looks clearer, scars and red marks are going away, pimples that had started before treatment are getting smaller with every treatment. And this is RIGHT after my monthly cycle (I usually have the WORST breakouts right now.) NO new pimples have showed up at all. Price shown below is all the products totaled up. I bought one extra BP tube so I could have one set at home and one set at my boyfriends house, so this price is for one se

May 25, 2007

Pros:

Gentle and effective. I am currently on acne medications (topical) and this one works well with the routine my dermatologist gave me.

Cons:

Expensive.

If you are currently on an acne regimen, this one will soften and mildly exfoliate your skin.
