Pros:

I bought the antibacterial cleansing bar for my 10 year old son who got an infected breakout on his chin - he washes w/ the bar every morning and his skin cleared up, scarring has greatly diminished. Love that it was gentle on his skin too!

Cons:

None

I would recommend trying it. I first heard about it from a co-worker years ago whose friend was a dematologist. She had been using it for years. I remembered it and was desperate to try something non-harsh, non-drying and without alot of unnecessary chemicals. My son's skin blotches on his cheeks are evening out too - added bonus. It's cheap, easy to use and effective. At only $5 a bar, try it!

Pros:

This wash leaves your face feeling fresh and smooth, clears up acne without drying skin out.

Cons:

Does not lather like most washes, so the first few times you use it you use way more than you need to. But once you get used to it, a little bit goes a long way!

I have used this product for almost 6 years now, i absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone!

Pros:

Cetaphil has totally helped with my acne. My skin looks more even and toned. It is gentle, non irritating.

Cons:

None

I cleanse with Cetaphil twice daily, follow up with witch hazel as a toner and use Olay with SPF 15 for my moisturizer. My skin hasn't looked this good in a long time!

None!

Cons:

Does not do anything for acne
Does not lather
Very watery

I tried this product hoping that it would work, but it did absolutlely nothing. I kept at it in the hopes that it might take awhile to kick in, but never did. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

Pros:

I had loads of acne. I use this now it's controllable. I use Cetaphil as a cleanser but I use a cream for my achne separately.

Cons:

Bit expensive to pay for a cleanser in Sri Lanka

Cetaphil is a mild cleanser.For me it is a good product

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:

Extremely good gentle cleanser!

Cons:

Doesn't wash off makeup real well.

You may need to get a Neutrogena make-up remover before use, but other than that, I love it!!!

Pros:

Cons:

-broke me out (PIMPLES!)
-super drying

-worsened my acne
-not exfoliating

I had high hopes for this cleanser. But it knocked it. I know i know "it gets worse before it gets better". but i hate this! Worst cleanser i ever used. IF it worked for you-lucky! Btw, i have oily/combination skin.
