Excellent for my skin <3
I know that this cleanser may or may not work for different types of skin, but i found this cleanser great and moisturizing for my skin, and most - all of my acne has gone away. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND :D

Made a big difference to my mild adult acne
I am 35 with mild adult acne - ie. at worst 10-12 medium-sized spots on face and neck. This cleanser has been transformational for me. I used to use a non-fragranced cream cleanser but I guess this must no longer have been right for my combination skin, which has become acne-prone since my daughter was born four years ago. A couple of months ago I started using this cleanser day and night, in combination with a much lighter moisturiser than I had been using, and the results have been amazing. I am barely getting any spots at all, even in the run up to my period when they tended to be much worse. As others have said, it also doesn't dry out your skin at all. Possibly not right for those with moderate/ severe acne, looking at the other reviews, but this has been such a great solution for me.

Gentle
I don't use this all the time as I tend to be more on the oily side, but during drier times this stuff is great. Simple and gentle' doesn't break me out. Good things all!

Pros:

Cleanses well, takes off makeup
Moisturizes :)

Cons:

None that I can think of.

This is my favorite cleanser! Yay! Leaves skin soft and smooth feeling, and puts moisture back into skin. I've never felt that with any other face wash, so its nice. I don't get that tight, stripped skin feeling when i dry off. If you know what cetaphls texture is like, this stuff is more lotiony, like its white and creamy, which i think is why it works better at taking off makeup than cetaphil. Works for me, may work for you. Happy experimenting!

Doesn't dry out skin, cleanses skin well,leaves skin soft.

Cons:

none

This product is great, it has a lotion texture and it startled me at first, but no worries about that anymore. I haven't broke out from this and those winter flaky's have gone away. I really like this!

Pros:

No smell, doesn't overdry, makes skin feel comfortable and soft and smooth.

Cons:

None!

This stuff is amazing. Until now I used the Neutrogena foaming cleanser which I realize totally over-dryed my face. I'm using this sensitive skin cleanser with the neutrogena healthy skin lotion. So far flakes and dull dead skin are just melting away. My face has a nice glow to it and I feel like the moisturizing quality of this facial wash is helping to heal my acne faster, which means less redness. Love it!!!

Pros:

Great for sensitive or dry skin!!

Cons:

The pump sucks. Mine didn't work at all so I took one from a Neut. Acne Wash bottle, cleaned it, and used that.

It does what it advertises: it gives moisture back to skin without irritating it. I like the lotion-mixed-with-cleanser texture. It also smells really nice! Since my face has been improving and I've been wearing less makeup it removes it all.

Pros:

-fragrance free
-non-drying/irritating
-great prep for medication/moisturizing

Cons:

None

I have unbelievably sensitive skin- I break out in itchy bumps when I sweat, am allergic to common cosmetic ingredients, (talc, bismuth) and avobenzone sunscreen burns my skin. This stuff kicks some serious butt. I hated Cetaphil,(regular and oily) Purpose, and Eucerin Redness Relief. I rub jojoba oil on my face and let sit for 10ish minutes before wiping it off and using NEGC. I then use topical medication. Depending on the medication, I will use either an AHA moisturizer or my Neutrogena oil free moisture for sensitive skin. My skin is sooooo soft.

Pros:

-Very Gentle
-Great For Removing Makeup
-Unscented

Cons:

None that I've found so far...

Kind of unrelated con is that the pump broke on it when I accidentally pulled off the top, although that doesn't effect how the product itself works.

I had been using salyclic acid acne wash, and I kept getting really huge red rash type things on my face without the acne going away. I switched to this and I no longer get the redness, and my skin is no longer dry and flaky. I use this with BP cream, and my acne is a lot better. I use a moisturizer with this too, but unless you get really dry skin you probably wouldn't need it.
