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.

Pros:

Its works great and cleanses my skin the way i want it to

Cons:

None!

Its the best ever its not that expensive its better than any other harsh acne treatment... also after you wash your face with it, use witch hazel as an astringent and then apply the cetaphil moisturizer. It works great for my oily skin! = ]

Pros:

Didn't make me break out, skin is softer and brighter

Cons:

doesn't lather

Good product, my face doesnt feel like i scrubbed all of the layers off of my skin after i got out of the shower with it (i dont like the proactiv cleanser), it will last a while, no scent, rinses off easy, and you can use it all over (neck, chest, and back).

Pros:

Pretty good, makes skin soft and smooth

Cons:

Drying very drying and not strong moisturizer

this is not a strong moisturizer, so put on another moisturizer over it...make sure to wash it off not leave it on...it doesn't take off makeup well, but it makes your skin soft. It will leave your skin flaky and very peeling.....but it makes your skin super soft and smooth

Pros:

Good for people who tend to turn red when using soaps; soothing; packaging is very generous

Cons:

Must rinse well or it leaves a film (noncomedogenic, but annoying); doesn't lather at all, so you have to use more to spread it around

Very easy on the skin and straightforward, although more of a later would be nice.

Pros:

Gentle on the skin. suitable for oily skin (not super oily i mean)

Cons:

too pricey but it's worth it

If ur having pimples just because of skin irritation, i highly recommend this product. But if it's hormonal, this won't help it. i have an oily skin (well not super extra oily) but this suits my skin. i dn't use any moisturizer coz this soap itself is a good moisturizer as well. as everybody says it doesn't remove make-up so i'm not using it before going to bed at night. i only use it once a day, i have my own foaming wash at night that can remove make up and everything, dirt.... so far so good it can bring back ur youthful skin

Pros:

Gently washes away white heads and gently reduces redness and irritation.

Cons:

It is a runny solution and it doesn't lather but who cares as long as it clears acne. It smells bad but only if you take a big wiff of it out of the bottle, besides that it isn't so bad.

It works, its worth it!

Did not cause any problems but..
Overall an ok product because it has only a few ingredients and I did not have a bad reaction to it but at the same time I did not feel like it cleaned very well so it's just ok.

I have been only using this for a week, and my skin loves it. It's so gentle and doesn't irritate acne.
