Pros:

Leaves skin very soft
rash on face started to disappear

Cons:

None yet

I kept getting rash on my face, which my doctor diagnosed as "foliculitis". When I got home I did my own little research what the best approach would be besides gulping antibiotics. I came across a post abt the condition an anti bacterial soap was suggested. Then I googles the best a.b dopa and cetapil showed up with very good reviews. It's been a week and no complaints at all. I will surely report back after another week to keep u guys updated

Pros:

-Didn't leave skin dry
-Left skin clean without oder

Cons:

-Soduim Lauryl Sulfate

It was ok. it was like any cleanser. it just washed and did its job. I don't like that it has Sodium Lauryl Sulfate because i did some research and heard that in a long run it can damage skin.

Pros:

- non-drying
- non-greasy
- gentle
- keeps my skin clear(ish)

Cons:

- awkward consistency
- doesn't remove makeup very well

this is the only cleanser that I have used that I like enough to keep using. It keeps my skin as clear as possible without over drying it. Sometimes I don't even have to moisturize. I've tried other facial cleansers but keep going back to this one.

Pros:

-Clears pimples
-Makes skin softer
-Very gentle
-Very mild
-No fragrance

Cons:

-Doesn't lather

This cleanser is AMAZING. I was prescribed this by my dermatologist and after a few months, my skin is doing fantastic.(Followed by Differin and Duac) It's effective. It might be a bit pricey, but for the size of the bottle, you'll get your money's worth. I recommend this 100%.

Pros:

- Gentle
- Gets the job done
- Doesn't break you out
- Non-comedogenic

Cons:

- The price,
I bought a 250ml bottle of it for $12.00 because I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not. The bottle that was the largest size, which I will be buying when I'm done with this bottle, was $16.00 which is a bit painful to buy for a facial cleanser. But It gets the job done.
- It lathers up really well, for me anyway, but the lather feels awkward.

I would recommend this product for anyone with acne. I just use this, benzoyl peroxide then I moisturize and my acne has been clearing up really well.

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.

Pros:

Easy to purchase - sold with pump from local chemist
No fragrance
Not harsh or stripping - very gentle

Cons:

Doesn't lather up

Would highly recommend this product. Not a stand alone miracle product but this is a step in the right direction. I have used many different types of cleansers over the many years but this is one I'll stick with.

Pros:

-very gentle
-inexpensive
-big bottle last a long time

Cons:

-doesn't lather
-doesn't have that "effective" feeling

i bought this from target for a fairly cheap price. i tried this after seeing many good review about it and it's been a week i've been using this. the result is quite good, my acne is decreasing slowly but surely, and my skin feels more fresh than before. the only i hate about this thing is that it doesn't lather well so putting it on my face kinda hard.

Pros:

Non-drying
Easily Available
Inexpensive

Cons:

Non-lathering

A dermatologist recommended this to me 10 years ago when I first began the process of treating my acne. The idea behind this cleanser is not to treat your acne, but to give the products you are using a clean basis for the treatment to work. Cetaphil does not lather, tingle, or dry out your skin. Because of this, many people do not feel the cleanser is working properly. Trust me, after this long, I still come back to this cleanser after I have the urge to try something new. This is a great cleanser if you are using prescription acne products that tend to be irritating or if you are having any procedures done on a regular basis, such as microdermabrasion or chemical peels.
