Okay the first two days, I didn't really see anything, which is acceptable! But, mmmm guuuuuuuurrrrl, my skin has cleared up SO MUCH in the 2 weeks. It's great. However, I do use this every night along with my Clearasil Serum for zits, and my Neutrogena moisterizer. These three products are really clearing up my face, I think. But, yes, this cleanser made a beautiful differance, and I reccomend it. Sooooo cheap, especially the amount if gives you! (-:
This is a nice basic cleanser, which doesn't irritate or dry out my skin. I feel like my face is really clean after I use it and it does a good job. I do prefer more of a cleansing milk, but this still made my skin feel soft and clean. No complaints!
It's a really soft lotion feel like face cleanser.
I started using this as part of my regiment to get rid of hormonal acne on face, it's the last product I use (last stage in cleansing) and I use this also as a body wash too as its so soft for my face it would be soft for body as well.
One of the most gentle and soft cleanser that doesn't irritate skin.
The gentle cleanser doesn't get foamy much - gentle oily cleanser does have foams and gives more of a cleansing feel to it. I used it both but gentle cleanser is much more gentler... :)
One of the recommendation for ppl with acne is to remove your makeup with oils like jojoba oil, extra virgin olive oil or sweet almond oil firstly and then finish up with this cleanser... :) your skin will feel like a baby's skin!!! Will definitely be my cleanser for a longggg time!
One of the only things I can use to wash my face because my skin is so sensitive. Doesn't break me out or dry my skin out.
It does remove some makeup, but I do have to use a makeup remover before I use it to make sure it all comes off.
I would definitely recommend if you have acne-prone, dry/sensitive skin! Worth trying. My HG cleanser!
I started using Cetaphil cleanser years ago when it was recommended to me by a dermatologist who was treating me for cystic acne. He actually recommended I apply this like lotion to soothe my skin.
My skin is on the dry side now so I don't wash with cleanser in the AM - just water. To remove my makeup, I use eye makeup remover (MAC or Clinique) to take off mascara, etc. Then I massage Cetaphil on my face, scrub gently with a warm washcloth and rinse with water. I don't understand why people say it doesn't remove makeup. Just as a test, I wiped my cheek with rubbing alcohol where I had blush and foundation before cleansing and it came off clean.
I get this at Costco - two huge bottles with pump applicator for something like $12. I see no need to purchase anything else (except for eye makeup removal)
I've been suffering from the worst breakout to date over the past few months but this cleanser is by far the best cleanser I have ever used! It doesn't remove your make up completely but I always take my make up off with Bioderma sensibio cleansing water first. Both of these products are great for sensitive skin and I haven't broke out once since I've been using these products. I would definitely recommend!
It doesn't remove foundation or any make up. Even after second wash, there are foundation residues on my face.. Although it is mild and non-irritating, I don't see the point of using it after makeup remover or another facial cleanser which can remove makeup.

As I am getting older my skin is becoming drier and more irritated, blotches, adult acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sagging skin...you name it. I can not just use anything on my face. So during the day I wear a total coverage from Clinique and I have been on a crusade to find the right cleanser. I ended up with Cetaphil as it does not dry out my skin. But you do have to use it with a wash cloth to remove all make-up as it does not lather up. Which is OK anything that lathers up tends to be drying. I then use Dickinson's pore perfecting witch hazel toner to remove all traces of make-up and at night a good Sebamed moisturizer for sensitve skin. The result? Totally rejuvenated, moisturized skin and it seems to even out my skin tone as well even my fine lines are practically gone!This all without spending money up the ying yang. I know spend some more money on a nice department store sun screen during the day. I am a happy women now with great skin (according to some of my co-workers)
