Pros:

Moisturizing,
unscented,
when used with my Clarisonic, it removed my makeup

Cons:

Slight stinging sensation
Skin doesn't feel super clean

I used my Acne.org AHA on a few tiny spots and overnight they are bigger, red, and dry, Doesn't even look like acne, just rough red patches. I've never had this happen when using Spectro Jel. Maybe it reacted badly with Cerave cleanser. Also, why am I breaking out.

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

Absolutely adore! Super gentle cleanser that doesn't leave my skin feeling dry at all. Would not recommend to remove makeup - I use mineral oil as a first cleanse and then this.

Clogs pores

Clogs pores. Would prob be worse if I didn’t try it as a second step in a double cleanse, bc it also doesn’t cleanse well. I even tried using it after my cetaphil bar, & still ended up with clogged pores. I have dry skin & NEVER get clogged pores. 

Not as bad as the foaming cleanser, which felt exactly the same, but irritating also. But I don’t get why ppl love these. My skin must be used to the bar cleanser. It keeps my skin clear & I don’t feel that icky film liquid cleansers leave.

This Is It Chief

Been using for years...never bothers my sensitive skin. A lillll pricey, but worth it. It's also been helpful since starting accutane.

Great for Sensitive Skin!
After searching for a product that I could use a cleanser for my very sensitive skin, I finally settled down with this product! It's not foamy, smells kind of strange, and doesn't give a particular "clean" feel, but it works very well with keeping my acne at bay. I would only recommend this product if your skin is very sensitive to products, though, because it isn't a very powerful cleanser that most acne-suffers are used to using in their daily regimens.

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

Cerave products
I use the hydrating cleanser in the colder months and the foaming cleanser during the warmer months . When i tell you cerave products are my holy grails they are the only things that do not irritate my skin . I have combination skin before i found cerave i had soooooo many skin issues redness dryness oily everywhere i tried everything so many dermatologists visits and trying so many products. some of these products would burn my skin make it really dry or just make things worse,but i have never had any issues with cerave. I totally recommend cerave to anyone who is fighting with acne.
