Pros:

-Not drying
-Doesn't break me out.
-No fragrance/color

Cons:

-Doesn't remove makeup completely.
-A bit expensive but not prohibitively so.

I have to use jojoba oil beforehand if I'm wearing makeup. Kind of annoying to add another step in but I do it because it's neccessary. This is why I give it 4 "stars" instead of 5. I was having a major problem with flakes so I changed up my DKRegimen. I wash with this now, Paula's Choice 1% BHA Lotion, Dan's BP, CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. My flakes are gone! I started out using one pump but noticed that two pumps are more effective. The cleanser doesn't foam up but that's fine with me. It kind of feels like a watery lotion but doesn't leave a residue. I picked "moderate" acne because that's what I have when not on the DKRegimen. I only get 1 or two spots around that time of month now.

Pros:

Makes my skin soft and touchable
Evened skin tone
Just feels nice to use on my face

Cons:

A bit runny, but doesn't bother me.
Doesn't remove eye makeup, but I didnt expect it to..
Doesn't necessarily "treat" acne, but the point is to repair skin, not kill it with chemicals. Which in return, helped my acne anyways. :)

Best cleanser ever. Ok. For me anyways. It totally transformed my skin. My skin tone is now even, and my face is soooo soft! It feels like you are washing your face with lotion almost, but the results are worth it. Excellent especially if you use any harsh treatments. Absolutley no irritation. I cant say how happy I am that I switched to this from my old cleanser. Cuts down on oil too. Give it a few weeks before you give up. Perfect. :)

Pros:

it feels very very soft on your skin and whats great about it is that it doesnt over dry your face like other cleanser

Cons:

kinda expensive

my dermatologist suggested me that if you are breaking out shouldnt use a cleanser with a lot of foam so she recommend me this and it works well with my face even though my face is little bit oily when using Cerave products

Amazing stuff
I've used lots of different cleansers the most popular ones like Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, Cetaphil but this one is the best and i'm never switching back. This does take off my make up and it foams up nicely. If you have never tried this stuff i highly recommend you give it a try you wont regret it :)

WRONG PRODUCT. The product pictured above is the hydrating cleanser
Report

Pros:

Gentle. Non-irritating. Perfect for sensitive, acne-prone or intolerant, reactive, skin. Great everyday cleanser for the amount and price!

Cons:

Removing makeup takes at least a double wash or the use of a washcloth. Even Non-waterproof makeup is kinda of a pain to remove. Not very time saving, but with patience- makeup will be removed.

I would most definitely recommend this cleanser!

Pros:

Good for dry, sensitive skin.

Cons:

Seems to leave a residue after washing, but this is less noticeable over time.

A unique product. Prior to using CeraVe I was only able to wash with water as other cleansers would dry my skin too much. I find this is much less the case now.

I bought this because my dermatologist gave me epiduo for my few pimples, and it burned and ruined my face. I was crying because my face felt so tight and was burning and peeling very bad. i bought this cleanser and a few days later my skin was back to slightly normal. i have very sensitive skin, and this didnt make me break out, it repaired my skin.

Pros:

Non Drying, removes makeup, No odor

Cons:

None yet

I use this cleanser in conjunction with the PM lotion and Retin A .025%. I tried Cetaphil, Nutragena Extra Gentle, and Purpose cleansers as I needed something gentle with the Retin A, this is by far my favorite!! Has really reduced the irritation from the Retin A. I use the Am lotion with SPF 30 in the morning after cleansing again. I even had my husband try these because of his rosacea & dermatitis. After 1 night his skin looks better. Not perfect, but improved, I think with continued use this could really help him as well. We love it!!

Made my skin burn! Not good for sensitive/rosacea skin. Feels like cetaphil in consistency does but caused my skin to be more sensitive and felt like my face was stinging. I had to wash it off my face all three times that I tried this. Still looking for a good cleanser for sensitive, dry, rosacea skin that breaks out easily.
