Pros:

Gentle
Fragrance Free
Doesn't dry out my skin
Easy to rinse off
Non-medicated

Cons:

You have to get used to the texture.
Doesn't remove makeup very well. (I don't wear makeup so that isn't a problem for me.)

When I first used this, I didn't really like it because it didn't leave my skin with that refreshing sensation other cleansers left. However, I just kept using it and it was actually really nice. My skin did feel clean after I washed it, but not tight and dry. It made my skin feel smooth and healthy. This will not help with breakouts alone, but it will prepare the skin for any topical medication.

Pros:

-Very light and (as the name suggests) gentle

Cons:

-Does not lather

If I didn't have to shave, I would probably always use this cleanser. It is very gentle yet still leaves the skin feeling clean. It just doesn't lather and thus can't effectively be used to shave.

Fantastic Cleanser for Sensitive Skin

Pros:

Does not irritate my sensitive skin
Feels lovely and no fragrance
Comes in a big bottle and lasts a long time

Cons:

Not strong enough to remove make-up
More expensive than some cleansers, but worth it!

I have so much love for this cleanser. My skin's extremely sensitive and has looked so much less irritated since I started using this cleanser instead of some of the harsher acne-treating type cleansers. Feels lovely on the skin, no fragrance or other things that irritate the skin. As some other reviewers have said it doesn't really lather but I don't find this a problem at all because it cleanses nicely if you just apply it as it is. My only criticism is that it's not powerful enough to remove foundation so I have to use cleansing wipes for that before using this cleanser at night.

Pros:

Gentle on sensitive or stressed skin

Cons:

None

This cleanser is obviously not for treating acne or exfoliating. But if you want or need to avoid irritation (e.g., peeling or dryness after using retin-a), this is a very good cleanser.

Pros:

Gentle on my skin
Fragrance free
doesnt block your pores
makes my skin soft, and spot free!

Cons:

doesn't foam, which isn't actually a bad thing, most crappy products which have nasty chemicals have ingredients in them which make it foam, thus making ur acne worse!!!

Its a very gentle cleanser, which makes my skin feel really soft, i get dry patches on my skin, but yet i have very oily skin mainly in my t-zone, and i suffer from blemishes! It has a creamy feel when on your skin , moisturizing, but not greasy! soft ,leaving you with skin like a baby's....lol :P

Pros:

Great as a morning Cleanser (use on clean skin)
No smell, feels nice on skin afterwards
Perfect for normal or combination skin

Cons:

Does not remove any make-up
Might be too drying for dry skin sometimes
Does not remove oil, creams, etc.
Expensive

I use it only in the morning when my skin has natural oil and I want to refreshen it. It is easy to use it and skin feels nice afterwards. However, it does not remove foundation, creams etc. I tried many times but does not work.. I gave up to use it as a make up remover and use only as a cleanser.

Pros:

Cheap, convenient container, available everywhere, doesn't dry out skin too much

Cons:

If your skin is really oily it won't take all the oil away, although package says its meant for normal to oily skin its more for normal skin I find.

This product didn't work that great for me. My skin is very oily so when i used cetaphil it took away most of the oil, but my skin was oily 15 min later. The container is great because you just twist it and it locks so you don't accidently squirt it on your clothes. Its very mild so if your easily irritated by washes and have normal skin this product is worth trying out.
