Pros:

+ Cleanses skin gently
+ Scent isn't overbearingly horrid
+ Doesn't dry out skin and can use with water or without. Also great for sensitive skin

Cons:

+ Doesn't clean makeup off well

This isn't a cleanser to aid in the prevention of acne, it simply is a GENTLE CLEANSER. Though Cetaphil does what it claims to do, it isn't the best for cleaning makeup off with and you would need to wash your face and use it at least a few times before makeup is almost entirely removed. Overall I have to say that Cetaphil by far is one of the best cleansers I have used and comes at a very decent price (Tried cleansers ranging in prices from around $50 to $7 and Cetaphil is definitely one of the best). Love how it doesn't clog my pores as that is the major problem with my skin.

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:

Gentle
Made skin smooth

Cons:

BROKE ME OUT!

I ordered this thinking that it seemed to be the perfect product for me; gentle, non clogging and everything. For a while I wondered what was starting to break me out again and causing my skin to be bumpy like then I realized it was this! To test it I used some on my chest and I noticed the next day I had this little lumps like whiteheads appear. Just take caution when using this!

Pros:

Skin becomes more smoothlike, and is very gentle, as cetaphil cleanser claims it does.

Cons:

Been using it for 4 weeks now and...Nothing.

It may work for some, may not for others, and may tak a while for some to see results.

Pros:

Cheap, large quantity, no fragrance, not too thick or thin.

Cons:

Can be too runny, may leave your face feeling greasy (like water bubbles up on it)

This is a very gentle cleanser - but for some people - it may be TOO gentle. The consistency is like a glycerin wash - but it doesn't contain glycerin. It helped heal up some cystic acne because it was nice and gentle - but after that healed up - it couldn't keep the oil off my skin (too gentle) so it created small pimples overall. If you need something very basic - try this. But even Dan's cleanser dries a bit more than this - to help with removing oil.
