very different but it DOES the job

Pros:

hydrates skin
no irritation
gets you healthy skin

Cons:

give it a week or two impatient people

Step 1. (If needed)Remove make-up properly with remover Step 2. (Optional) damp skin with luke warm or cool water Step 3. Apply cetaphil cleanser with clean hands gently rubbing in circular motion for no more than 1 minute Step 4. (Very important) with a cotton pad remove excess cleanser Step 5. Apply cetaphil daily moisturizer These steps have been KEY to helping my acne/scars. My acne isn't severe but it's NOT mild. I've tried clean and clear, proactive, aveno, mary kay, home remedies, ect. Since I was 13 I had acne and I used products that helped keep it under control but I've never known what it's like to have a clear face. I have combination skin and products I was using dried my skin out, making my skin produce more oils to lubricate itself, making my acne worse and giving me dry patches, which did not look great with makeup over it. The water we use already has chemicals that strip your natural oils and you really don't want to strip it more. I almost accepted that I wasn't ment to have clear skin. I found cetaphils three piece trial size for $10 which has pretty big bottles. A lot of my friends have it and their skin has a healthy look.that I want. Following those steps I noticed that my acne wasn't red/irritated and my skin didn't feel dry. Once you do step 4 you will be happy to see what it cleans but be amazed at how it doesn't dry your skin and doesn't irritate your acne more. It was different from what I'm use to but I had to try something/anything that would work, I did this twice a day for 1 month. I noticed a difference my first wash but I had almost clear skin by week 2(: . I finally can wake up look in the mirror and not worry about how my skin looks. I would definitely recommend this product and will FOREVER keep it as my regiment.

BEST WASH EVER!!!!!!

Pros:

Gentle
Soft Scent
Helped with my acne

Cons:

NONE!!!!!

I suffer from very bad acne and semi oily skin . I have used every kind of face wash Clearasil, Neutrogena, Clean and clear, oxy, and Proactive. Nothing worked it made me brake out even more plus gave my cyst acne as well. My mom told me to try this face wash and I fell in love!!! This is the best wash I have ever used!! It didn't make my acne totally gone but it made it 80% better with use of a cream given to me by my doctor. I will never use any other face wash again!!!

Best cleanser ever!

Pros:

very gentle
not over-drying

Cons:

doesn't remove makeup well
doesn't lather well

This is definitely a product I will stick with. It works great with my sensitive skin that is super dry and flaky due to BP. It leaves my skin feeling soft and ready for a new dose of BP. It is fragance-free and my skin feels like I just applied lotion after washing my face with this. Loooove this product!

Love this cleanser

Pros:

Gentle
Non-drying

I find it funny that this cleanser feels like you're rubbing lotion on your face, yet it doesn't leave a filmy feeling afterwards. This isn't helping my acne, but it's keeping my breakouts at bay as opposed to when I was using harsh cleansers, astringents, etc. (That would normally be ironic, but I know better than that at this point). I still need to add something to my routine to see some acne-clearing results, either Rx or BP from the regimen, but this cleanser is a definite staple.

Perfect gentle cleanser

Pros:

gentle
non-drying
cheap

Cons:

none

I love this cleanser. It is so gentle, does exactly what I need it to do. It works better for me than the acne.org cleanser. I found that to be drying. This is not at all. It doesn't foam at all, but that doesn't bother me. I'm still able to put it on in a gentle way. It's the perfect cleanser morning and night. Fits into my Regimen: cetaphil cleanser morning and night, acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide morning and night, cetaphil cream and aha+ at night, Olay spf 15 or L'oreal sublime sun liquid silk during the day.

In LOVE with this product! Super soothing product :)

Pros:

soothing
does not strip pores of oil
cleans the face leaving it soft

Cons:

none

I love this product, I wish I had of found this cleanser sooner! It does not strip my face of oils and I can feel my skin does not get irritated after I use it. I would recommend to any of my friends who are not happy with their cleanser they are currently using :)

It's an excellent cleanser.

Pros:

Very Gentle
Doesn't neutralize the BP
Skin feels smooth after washing

Cons:

Doesn't lather enough

It's probably the best cleanser I've ever used. I've used quite a number of cleansers but I like this a lot. This doesn't help clear up acne but it's an excellent cleanser paired with Benzoyl Peroxide.

Perfect for Acne Prone Skin

Pros:

Gentle
Non-Drying

I had really bad acne about a month ago- found this site, and have been using this cleanser in my own version of the regimen. I must say this cleanser is simply AMAZING. It never dries my skin out and doesn't irritate cystic zits or open cuts. Highly recommended :3
