Pros:

Works!
No Fragrance, Non-Comedogenic

Cons:

Expensive- Around $16 at CVS
Packaging- cannot travel with it

Let me first say that i have very sensitive acne prone skin. This face wash is absolutely amazing for my skin. It does not leave a dry tight feeling that Cetaphil cleanser does. I have not had any breakouts since using (crossing fingers that I won't in the future) I religiously used to use the hydrating cleanser and i feel that this wash removes makeup more effectively and does a thorough cleaning of dirt and sweat. Will continue to be a faithful customer to this brand of skin products.

Pros:

great for the BODY ACNE! SUPER GENTLE...

Cons:

expensive, and not enough to use on body for long term

I wana start off by saying, I don't usually write reviews on here because a lot of what i'v tried on here that has good reviews has never worked well for me. So my review should strictly be considered my own personal condition and it doesn't/shouldn't exactly apply to everyone. Anyways, I'm super excited about this product... At first i bought it for my face to see if it would help with oiliness, (i read somewhere it did)... it didn't really help that much, so then i just stuck the bottle in a cabinet below my sink. It sat there for probably 4 months, and then a few days ago i saw it in there, and had the crazy idea to try it on my body to see how it worked for the acne that has caused me so much suffering (on my chest and back) ... the first time i tried it, i noticed when i got out of the shower, my acne was less irritated, and my body looked clear despite the little red spots (which is the acne i currently have on my body) Usually when i got out of the shower, my skin is somewhat red, and the old, new, and forming acne marks were all visible. It's a little hard to explain the difference, but its been my 2nd day of use and its working just fine. I mean it hasn't been long enough to say if this is for sure the cure for my acne, because it's not exactly getting rid of the ones i currently have, but I am noticing a dramatic improvement in complexion as far as my back and chest skin goes. maybe i have rosacea on my body? I really don't know what it is, but i'm not using anything else on my body after i wash with cerave... and it appear to be clearer than it ever has in the past 7 years or so since my body acne started... so its definitely cerave... I use at like like 5-7 pumps for my entire upper body. So its going to run out fast, and that's only if i see it continues to work...

Pros:

Great for sensitive skin.
Removes most makeup.

Cons:

It takes a lot of the product to cover my face.
You have to put in some extra muscle to get your makeup off. Kinda pricey.

This cleanser is magic for sensitive skin! It's very gentle and I just got it two days ago and my face feels a lot cleaner and the redness in my face looks like it's clam down =]!

A staple
This is a staple in my regimen. It's very gentle and not drying at all. I won't say it's the MOST gentle I've ever used, because it can sting if your skin is already dry/irritated, but I think it's one of the best cleansers at the drug store. I use it with my clarisonic.

Pros:

It's gentler than most cleansers
Doesn't dry skin TOO much
Seems to be working decent

Cons:

Takes a lot to cover face

This cleanser is better than any I've tried so far. It does make my skin a little dry, but far less than any other cleanser. It's a solid product, but it hasn't cleared my skin completely.

Love!
I was so nervous to use this. I suffer with moderate acne and was always terrified to use something gentle. After using this face wash consistently for over a year, I can tell you that this face wash did not clog my pores. It left my skin feelings clean and very soft! While I do not feel it has done anything for clearing my acne, I feel that it has not hurt either. I think this face wash plays a safe role in my routine by doing what a face wash should do, clean your face. I have bought about 4 bottles in a year and have not used 2, so even though it is a bit on the pricey side, it is a large bottle and will last you!

LOVE IT!!
When I was 12 my acne started and it was severe in middle school. I tried almost everything my parents could get their hands on for me. My neighbor was a skin doctor so she recommended this product. After using it for about 2 weeks my skin was clearing up tremendously. I've been using it for about 2-3 months now and I finally get to start high school with a clear face. This stuff works so well for me and I have really pale sensitive skin this stuff was gentle
