Pros:

It makes your face feel pretty clean

Cons:

Doesn't really do anything

It's a good wash if you don't have acne, or very little acne. I really saw no results although the r Cetaphil face wash for normal/oily skin is something I use till this day and actually works! So if this product isn't working for you, I totally recommend that one!

Pros:

unscented
cleans face

Cons:

doesnt clear acne anymore than a bar of soap

this doesnt clear acne. AT ALL! It is a clenser and it does that but doesnt not treat acne.

Pros:

It leaves your skin smooth

Cons:

It broke me out worse!

My face was never TOO bad, however after using cetaphil it has really made my skin break out worse than ever. The acne is even moving down to my neck. My friend uses the same product and it works wonders for her, but her skin has never been bad so there is no acne treatment needed. So if your face is clear I would suggest it, but if you are trying to treat your acne I would look somewhere else.

I've been using the regular cleanser, after reading the reviews on here. I guess i should have bought the one i read about! the regular cleanser irritates my face sometimes and i really haven't seen any results and i'm getting really frustrated because last fall my face cleared up on just panoxyl, retin-a, clindamycin and doxycycline pills... but a few months late my face worsened and now i am on tazorac, clindamycin, doxycycline, and the cetaphil cleanser and i havent seen any results whatsoever and im like on my 7th week of taz!! :'(

Pros:

Light consitency, extremely gentle, effectively removes dirt and oil, does not leave skin dry, great for skin prone to acne.

Cons:

A possible allergic reaction, otherwise none.

I am amazed by this product! I have tried many cleansers that claim to be "for sensitive skin" or "non-drying," but I consistantly found their claims were not in fact true. I have very sensitive skin and bad acne in some areas, so I needed a cleanser that could gently remove dirt, makeup, and oil, yet not take moisture out of my skin or cause breakouts. I've found one! Cetaphil works wonders on my skin. Just as a warning, however, I have heard some people react to it with a rash, so be sure to check the ingredients for substances you are allergic to. Also, in terms of price, I see most people rated it as a 5, but I'm putting 4, because there ARE cheaper cleansers. If affordability means if it's worth it's price, I would definitely put a 5, though!

Pros:

It makes my skin feel smooth and fresh. Also, it cleanses it very nicely.

Cons:

In beginning it dryed out my skin, but my skin got used to it and didn't get dry anymore.

I use solodyn, differin, and plexion with this product. This combination cleared my skin and I very rarely get breakouts now. Go see a derm if you are having trouble and STOP using over the counter THEY DO NOT WORK.
