Pros:

You can find the generic brand which is cheaper and exactly the same.

Cons:

Does not wash makeup off very well. It is almost too gentle, I guess this downside only applies to makeup-wearers. However, I can't help but think, if it isn't getting makeup off, what else is it leaving behind?

I switched to something else after one bottle

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:

Amazing for dry, sensitive skin. Cleanses but doesn't over-do it or dry the skin out. As gentle as a product can be. Great cleanser to use prior to using any type of treatment, medication or moisturizer. Calms my skin of most redness and irritation.

Cons:

The consistency does take a little while to get used to like most people are saying but it's worth it. Also for me it seems to leave a little film on the face which I don't like during the day so I only use it at night and it's fine by the next day.

I saw results on my dry, sensitive, flaky skin after just a few uses of this product. I was tired of irritating and drying my skin out with harsh products so I switched to this. It has been great so far. Also for the people worried about Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, it's literally 1% or less of a concentration of it, it's harmless in those amounts. I highly recommend this stuff, especially for people with dry, damaged skin. It's also excellent for winter. I use it in conjunction with CeraVe moisturizer and a healthy, skin care Diet and my skin is healing up very well.

Pros:

Not too expensive, easy to find, different sizes to choose from.

Cons:

After a while I started having dead skin on my face.

I used it for over 2 months with no problem. Then, dead skin started appearing on my face. Sure, that 's okay but it looked reall ybad. So, I have decided to stop and get the purpose kind. You should get another kind.

Pros:

Gentle
Non-irritating
Easy to apply
Don't need much

Cons:

Causes a few acne
Doesn't lather
Don't give the feel like it's cleaning the skin

I started using this product after Christmas day because I noticed a lot whiteheads, blackheads and oil in my skin because of the food I ate. After using it for one day I don't see any difference on my face, but I still continued using it. After 3 days my face broke out! Red large bumps with white pus starts to form... I feel like giving up but I give it another chance to restore my skin for one week. After one week, the acne blemishes and the pimples disappeared. I'm still grateful it restores my skin to its normal state. Forget about the parabens it contained because those are added in a very small amount. I also became horrified at first, but after researching it, those parabens may cause breast cancer, but you are not applying it on your breast and you are not ingesting it so no big deal. Just give it a chance to work on your skin.

Pros:

good for sensitive skin

Cons:

not very good at cleansing

I used to love this product because it wasn't some hardcore cleanser that will dry out your skin and whatnot. But when I started using a toner after I washed my face with this, I realized how much dirt and whatnot that was still left on my skin and i was shocked. I'm still currently using it because I haven't found another cleanser that is sensitive enough for my skin but I would only recommend using this in the morning.
