Pros:

I noticed that it is very gentle to the skin.

Cons:

I dont like how it doesnt lather. It feels like your not even removing any dirt or oil.

Good for sensitive skin. Give it a try.

Pros:

Cleans pretty well.

Gentle on sensitive skin.

Cons:

Doesn't remove makeup.

It's an OKAY cleanser. I like the Dove foaming cleanser much better. It actually takes makeup off.

Pros:

Clears acne.
Makes skin soft.

Cons:

Price.

Before I used Cetaphil, I tried Clean and Clear, Clearisil, Sea Breeze, and so many other products but none of them cleared my acne! Cetaphil cleared me up in like a week or so. It also made my skin so smooth. Tne only thing I would change is the price. It's kinda high.

Pros:

Very gentle

Cons:

No lather
Not great for body acne

This cleanser gets high marks for facial use. Even though it doesn't lather, it does remove my makeup and is exceptionally gentle on my skin. However, as a body wash, I found it ineffective. Even though it was wonderfully gently, I think it may have been TOO gentle for all-over body use. I never really felt clean when I used it as a body wash. But I would definitely recommend it is a facial cleanser.

Pros:

Not any different.

Cons:

It doesn't really remove dirt since its a very gentle cleanser.Recommened mostly for sensitive skin.

The product has to be used with prescriptions or acne creams to decrease breakouts.

Pros:

Cheap, large quantity, no fragrance, not too thick or thin.

Cons:

Can be too runny, may leave your face feeling greasy (like water bubbles up on it)

This is a very gentle cleanser - but for some people - it may be TOO gentle. The consistency is like a glycerin wash - but it doesn't contain glycerin. It helped heal up some cystic acne because it was nice and gentle - but after that healed up - it couldn't keep the oil off my skin (too gentle) so it created small pimples overall. If you need something very basic - try this. But even Dan's cleanser dries a bit more than this - to help with removing oil.

Pros:

Doesn't dry skin, leaves my skin feeling clean, very gentle

Cons:

none

It really helps when used with benzoyl peroxide! I have SUPER sensitive skin and even using the lowest amount of BP dries it out. This cleanser used with a mild mosturizer keeps my skin soft, not dry, and not oily. I love it! My dad has also been using it for 10 years and rarely gets break outs. I recommend it!!
