Pros:

-Feel soft
-Cleanses well, Removes Oil
-Gentle Cleanser
-Feels Great

Cons:

-smell which I don't like

I've been using this product for 1 year. It felt great but the smell isn't for me. I love the texture of the cleanser because it is very soft and has a nice feeling to it. I have never tried the Daily Facial Cleanser but I heard it might dries your skin which isn't for my skin because I have combination skin so stick with this if you have dry skin.

I use this day and night, I rub it into my face with a warm wash cloth then rinse off. I follow it up with my Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. This stuff is amazing. I have dry, sensitive skin and I used to use a Clinique face wash but it left my skin irritated. After only a couple days of using this stuff the redness in my skin cleared and my pimples are going away. It makes my skin feel amazing! I love it.

Pros:

Gentle, good for sensitive skin
Nice clean texture and smell
Non-soap
Feels almost soft
Lasts a long time
Does not require water to wash off

Cons:

Did not clear acne

This is a great cleanser for more sensitive skin and parts of the body - I use it both on my face, and even my mother who has terrible skin that is extremely sensitive has been using Cetaphil for years with no problems. You can even get the generic type at Walmart or the big one at Costco, so it can be cost-effective if you are sensible. The bottle lasts for a long time (I used 3-6 squirts a day and I've had this bottle for a few months). However, this did not clear my acne at all. Another pro is that if you are unable to fully wash your face (with water, etc.) you can use this without water and just wipe it off, leaving a thin layer (per the instructions on the back of the bottle).

Pros:

Didn't break me out
Good for sensitive skin. It didn't sting.
Made my skin feel soft

Cons:

Made my skin look a bit oily/shiny.
Didn't remove make up.

I really like this cleanser, It's gentle and it works well in combination with my topical acne treatment (epiduo). It didn't sting which I have found with many other cleansers and it didn't break me out or irritate my skin. The only downside is that it doesn't remove make up very well at all. This is probably because it is so mild but in my case it made me feel like I had to overwash my face, two or three times in a row, just to romove all of my make up. I feel like this defeated the point of its gentle nature.

Pros:

-hardly any scent
-does not lather
-does not require water to rinse off
-very, very mild
-cleanses well
-cost efficient

Cons:

-so mild it doesn't remove make up well, which isn't a problem for me, but it may be for someone who has very sensitive skin and cannot use standard makeup remover

I would recommend this to anyone who has normal to dry skin. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has oily skin as it is making my DRY skin feel oily right after cleansing. I do not have acne so I cannot judge how it is working that regard, it is helping my recovering dry skin! I wish I had found this sooner!

Pros:

- very little scent
- does not strip my very dry skin
- doesn't sting in eyes
- the 16 ounce size is very cost effective

Cons:

- doesn't foam, thus, doesn't remove makeup effectively (i use an oil cleanser or jojoba to take off eye makeup before i wash)

this is a pretty great cleanser overall. price is right, totally not drying, which is a big deal for me. as my skin changes, i am very prone to flakiness and this is helping with that a lot. i'm really glad i tried it!
