Would you buy this product again? Might try Purpose first, but in a pinch, yes.
Review is for Normal to Oily Skin Cleanser with the pump. This is a very basic cleaner. It will leave your face clean for a small amount of money, but it does not have any additives to help with things like wrinkles, exfoliating, or scar fading for those that asked. However, it shouldn't hurt those healing processes.
This cleanser has kept my face feeling clean, but I have begun to notice tiny hairline pimples. I generally don't breakout so I was looking for a cleanser that would just keep me normal. I'm not sure if it's the facewash or something else, but I've been using it for about 2 weeks. It's not unsightly yet, so I'm trying to give it another week or two.
So far, I prefer Johnshon & Johnson Purpose, which was recommended to me by my dermatologist. It's cheaper per ounce, and generally gentle and a basic cleanser like Cetaphil.
I think that if I end up switching from Cetaphil... I will probably at least use it to clean my make up brushes.
3/2/10 Update: Overall rating from 3 to 4. I've been using this cleanser as part of a normal weekly routine. What I realized is I was coming off of using a more abrasive benzoyl peroxide cleaner daily.. so of course I still needed some medicine, just not as much. Now I wash with benzoyl peroxide once to twice a week depending on need and maintain with Cetaphil. Seems to work well for me. I have acne control when necessary, but not using it daily to keep a clean face.
