Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Reviews

I noticed my pimples. Even my mom who does have acne tried it and she recently notice some pimples. We are never using it again. plus it we don't like the consistency. I don't feel that it really cleans like it should.

it is kind of expensive but if you get the generic wal-mart/greens kind then it is way cheaper. I love it and use religously w/o irritation

The reason why you may be experiencing breakouts while using Cetaphil is because this particular Cetaphil (w/ royal blue packaging) is intended for people with DRY and SENSITIVE skin. Not for people with acne-prone and oily skin. I've tried this Cetaphil and it felt like I was washing my face with plain old water and I had the same experience, breaking out, unclean skin..all that stuff. But! I tried the Cetaphil for OILY, COMBINATION, and ACNE-PRONE skin and it works wonderfully. This comes in a slightly lighter, greener blue kind of package. And YES it does feel like you've actually washed your face after you use it!

I tried this cleanser and I have to say I am not impressed. Yes, it is gentle. However, I don't think it fully cleans your skin. Since it doesn't fully clean your skin, pores remain clogged and this can cause breakouts.

I used this morning and evening for 2 weeks (the only change in my routine was this cleanser) and experienced the worst breakout in years and it has taken almost a month to recover.

I switched back to Cetaphil Daily Cleanser which does a much better job of cleaning the skin and being gentle at the same time. Sure the daily cleanser is a bit stronger and might cause some dryness but at least it CLEANS THE SKIN and PORES.

AVOID. I am now using this cleanser to wash my hands since I don't know what else to do with it. Get the Cetaphil Daily Cleanser instead. A much better product.

Maybe the only people who should use this product are those who are currently taking ACCUTANE.

this product adds oil to the skin and clogs the pores, a [censored] cleanser dont use it at all causes acne stick to neutrogena 10/10!!!

I like how the product is unscented, the packaging is easy to use, and it is fairly affordable; however, I have seen little to no improvement in my skin. In fact, I think my acne has gotten worse. I am one of those who has the dry, sensitive, moderately acne-prone skin that Cetaphil is recommended for and I fail to see its full benefits that it promises. Any suggestions?

I am using this while taking Accutane/isotretinoin and it is the ONLY thing I can cleanse my face with, as it is so gentle. I haven't particularly liked it otherwise when I've tried it in the past, as it hasn't made my skin feel "clean" enough; it hasn't felt as though it was dissolving everything that was on my skin. It is not very good at removing mascara, so I use a makeup remover to do that before I use the Cetaphil.

I can't tell you just how gentle this stuff is! It is just perfect for irritated, dry, or "raw" skin.

This product is also very, very good for mixing with a little baking soda to make a "dermabrasion" solution to exfoliate with a few times a week, or more often if your skin can handle it.

I hate this cleanser. Everytime I use it, I end up with more pimples. Now I finally understand why: this cleanser may leave your skin feeling nice and soft but it doesn't remove makeup. So all the dirt from the make-up stays on my skin and clogs it up. so maybe this works for people who don't wear make-up but for those of us who do:

STAY AWAY!

it does some stuff to my face.

If you have a dry, sensitive skin this cleanser is good for you. However, if you suffer from oily skin as most acne sufferers, I think this cleanser is hardly effective. Despite using handful of this rather pricey stuff, my skin still feels oily. I think it's very ineffective in removing oil and dirt. Finally, at ~$7 for a 6 OZ. bottle, this cleanser is WAY overpriced. It's a mixture of 8 very common ingredients like water,Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate etc; so why is it SO expensive? If you wanna try it, I suggest you try the generic version first and see whether it suits your purpose.
