Pros:

-awesome for sensitive skin
-smells good
-helps reduce size of pimples

Cons:

-I still have acne:(

I had used cleansers with beads in them, but those made me breakout even more. When I switched to this, my acne got better. BUY IT!

Pros:

Clears acne.
Makes skin soft.

Cons:

Price.

Before I used Cetaphil, I tried Clean and Clear, Clearisil, Sea Breeze, and so many other products but none of them cleared my acne! Cetaphil cleared me up in like a week or so. It also made my skin so smooth. Tne only thing I would change is the price. It's kinda high.

Pros:

Very Gentle
Doesn't Dry My Skin Out
Cleanses Face and Body
Does Not Irritate My Skin
Works Great!

Cons:

Shoots out of the bottle easy.
Runs easy.

This is wonderful! I thought I knew what a cleanser was before, but after using this I don't know what a cleanser is anymore. It leaves me feeling fresh and clean after EVERY use. I get the occasional pimples. You have to be very careful it shoots out of the bottle very easy and has a tendency to run everywhere. I use this for my face and body. And for some reason this product even helps me keep from picking a my skin. I just feel so much better using this. Going to be a regular product for me.

Pros:

-Clears acne
-Helps with scarring
-no oily residue
-smells good

Cons:

-a little expensive for a cleanser

I originally started using the cetaphil oil skin cleanser as it was reccomended for my acne-prone skin by my dermatologist.I found that the cetaphil oily skin cleanser was too harsh on my skin as my skin is acne-prone but not oily.The results were that my skin started becoming really oily because the cleanser stripped away natural oils and as a result my skin started to produce more oil to re-balance my skin.Although it did clear my acne, I had to switch to the gentle formula.It worked wonders as it cleared away all my acne! so happy I gave Cetaphil another chance.

Pros:

Cleans well
Non-irritating
Removes oil

I really like this cleanser! I first started using this product back when my acne was bad...since I have sensitive skin, using face washes with salacylic acid or benzoyl peroxide along with other products was freaking it out. I figured that my oil T zone was the cause for my acne and went to find a cleanser that was oily/normal/sensitive skin; my answer has been Cetaphil. Even now that my acne is gone, I sill use it as my face wash. Now keep in mind THIS PRODUCT ALONE WILL NOT CLEAR YORU ACNE. However, it will really help with the process. Give it a try! (P.S. There are different ones for different skin types (oily, normal, dry etc.) so make sure you pick the right one!)

Pros:

Moisturising
Dosen't cause any allergic reaction on my skin as other products did

Cons:

Don`t feel fresh after cleansing
pricey

I bought this product yesterday and absolutely loved it. Its fregance free so it dosent cause any redness as other cleasing products did on my skin such as: clearasil clean&clear etc. I didn't like to cleanse my skin before because my sking would be bright red, but since yesterday i cant wait untill i clean my face. The only negative is that don actually know if its cleaning or not, it just dosen`t laves, but if i dont breakout like crazy i`ll know its working. haha and ill keep you guy updated It is also a bit pricey i paid £9. which for a cleanser is expensive So far i would definatelly recoment this produt

Non-Drying, Doesn't break me out.

It doesn't remove makeup, but that's okay. I just used something else for that.

I think I am very sensitive and this is the perfect cleanser for me!

Pros:

Soft skin
Inexpensive
Great on wrinkles

Cons:

Still get periodic pimples

I was originally introduced to this product by a plastic surgeon after slicing my face open to help the new skin come in and prevent extreme scaring, I still have a scar but most people can't see it as its just a minimal line. I continue to use it 15 years later to keep my skin soft and use it all over.... I am 32 now and often get asked when I'm graduating high school and if my parent or guardian can sign something, this product isn't the most expensive but every doctor I've mentioned it to loves it.

Pros:

- Soap-free
- Very gentle
- Fragrance free
- Can use it with or without water
- Removes even make-up very effectively

Cons:

- A bit expensive

Bought this on Amazon, since ordering Dan's products would give me anouther 50$ or so delivery costs... So I got this together with PanOxyl 2.5% BP gel and Cataphil Moisturizing Lotion for all skin types, to start on the Regimen. I've been using this for about a month now and my skin has considerably cleared up. I especially like this cleanser for its gentleness. It's soap-free and thus doesn't dry out the skin too much, especially in combination with BP. Also, it's fragrance-free and does not have unnessecary ingredients which may further irritate the skin while using it in The Regimen. I can't say anything about this clearing up the skin though, as I use it in The Regimen... I will order this again, even after having my face cleared up completely :)
