Pros:

Cheap.
No scent.
Not drying.

Cons:

Too gentle, it doesn't thoroughly clean your face, you have to clean 3/4 times.
Doesn't remove makeup or sunblock easily.
No foaming action.

I've tried this product a few times now and after recently using it whilst I waited for me usual cleaner to arrive from overseas, I can now confirm that this actually contributes to my break outs. I dont think it actually causes them or irritates them but I personally think its too gentle, as in it doesn't thoroughly clean your face, or at least you have to wash about 4 times before your face seems somewhat clean - and even then I broke out. I wish it worked for me becuase it is so affordable and sold in my county, but it doesn't.

Pros:

great for my sensitive skin. It reduced redness and irritation, did not over-dry my skin, and also cleared my acne up in about a month. I think it is a great product except....

Cons:

...Did not remove make-up...but after using this product for some time i no longer had to wear the stuff

A great product for sensitive and acne prone skin!

Pros:

Makes my face soft

Cons:

Made my face much worse and dries it out

It seems to work for everyone else, just not me. I had light acne when I started and now it's much much worse. I've been using this twice a day for just over 3 weeks.

Pros:

everything! works amazing! best cleanser i have ever used.

Cons:

absolutely nothing. wait maybe if the label was yellow, cause yellow is my favorite color.

bottom line= there are NO cons. everything about this product is perfection.

Pros:

This cleanser was unscented, the bottle was easy to use, and it made my skin feel really soft! It doesn't seem to make a HUGE difference, but any pimples i have are pretty small and not very noticable.

Cons:

none reall,i still get pimples but they are less noticable.

I would recommend pretty much any cetaphil product. I havn't used that many but the ones that i have you worked well and made my skin feel great.

Pros:

Leaves my skin smooth. Clears up the skin noticeably. Can be used without water (for those late nights when you come from the nightclub and you don't feel like washing your face). Gentle enough to remove your eye make up. Multipurpose.

Cons:

At first the consistency of the product feels weird, but you get used. The new price is expensive (new label desing). The generic brand makes my skin itchy.

It worth it.

Pros:

-Gentle
-No-fragrance
-(claims to be non-comedogenic)

Cons:

-made me breakout
-has sodium lauryl sulfate!!!!
-face didn't feel clean after

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a major skin irritant do not use facial cleansers with it! I would reccomend the Cerave Cleanser. My acne was pretty tame and i do suffer from sensitivity so I tried this and it made it sooo much worse. Word of advice spend more money on your diet the rewards are amazing.
