February 6, 2009

Pros:

Softens my skin and clears my acnes. Doesn't remove oil excessively. very gentle

Cons:

Not suitable for serious acne patients. My face will get oily faster. So, i recommend anybody who uses this product washes their face thrice a day.

You don't need harsh cleanser to treat acne-prone face. Gentle cleanser suits you better because it doesn't remove all the oil on your face that you need to protect the skin. Cetaphil works better than my anticipation. Highly recommended. p/s: use with Dalacin T topical solution and Differin and say goodbye to your acnes.

Pros:

Doesn't dry, doesn't clog pores, cleans skin

Cons:

Doesn't treat or prevent acne

Cetaphil is a good product for oily, dry, or combination skin, but it doesn't help to heal acne; it just cleans your skin.

Pros:

Super gentle, non irritating cleanser. Feels great on face, washes off super easy. This cleanser has not gotten rid of my blackheads and I still have occasional breakouts.

Cons:

Pricey!

Use it, love it. It will work GREAT with BP and wont irritate.

Pros:

Cheap. Unscented. Extremely gentle. Terrific in winter because it doesn't dry skin.

Cons:

None.

But I've used this cleanser for years and I love it. My skin dries easily and this product leaves it soft and moist. I don't, however, like the new anti-baterial Cetaphil that comes in the white bottle. I've also used the Rite-Aid generic version of this cleanser, which is also good and is even cheaper.

Pros:

Very gentle, doesn't dry skin, can be used to remove makeup on eyes without burning (that's my favorite part!). You can practically wash your eyeballs with this stuff it's so gentle!!

Cons:

Your skin won't feel squeaky clean.

This stuff is awesome and Walmart sells generic brand.
January 29, 2008

Pros:

It really leaves my skin feeling soft.
I have sensitive skin, so it doesn't irritate my skin or anything like that.
I like purchase this stuff at Costco, cause its $15 bucks for two huge bottles, and each bottle last me for three to four months

Cons:

I haven't got a chance to renewed my costco card, so I had to go buy it from Wal Mart which cost $10 bucks for a koo size bottle.
It ran out, so I bought the Cetaphil thats for oily to normal skin, & that made me breakout.

Cetaphil does work for me, but not the oily to normal skin. If you have sensitive skin like me, try it, and you might like it. My skin was completely cleared until it ran out on me, and I had to use the oily to normal skin. But I'm going to renew my card for Costco & purchase the original Cetaphil.

Pros:

It seems to do the trick. I can't be entirely sure how well it's working, since a lot of it might be due to the antibiotics.

Cons:

Somewhat oily feel when I put it on. I use water with it. It's extremely expensive - it must be because it's shipped over here (New Zealand).

I have not tried it without water, and the idea that you only need a "pea sized amount" is new to me, so I'll try it. The price I gave is what it cost for 500 ml (about 16 fl. oz.).

Pros:

Gentle, fragrance free, and cheap. It's available in almost any store that carries hygiene products, and best of all, generic brands are available with the exact SAME active ingredients, for half the cost!!!

Cons:

No lather, but once you get used to that, it's all good!!! In fact, once you get used to it, lather feels weird.

Use it!! You won't be disappointed. I've been a faithful Cetaphil consumer (who has battled nodular & cystic acne) for at least 5 years. I have tried all of the different Cetaphil cleansers and soap bars. My favorite is the "gentle skin cleanser". I use the Cetaphil moisturizer as well (I have not found a genric for that). It has SPF of 15. I also add Neutrogena sunscreen that contains SPF of 45. I have not been sunburn on my face in many years. THANK YOU CETAPHIL!!!!
