It has more than 3 ingredients: after water, aloe nicinamide and witch hazel, there's kosher vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, carbomer, TEA, meythl/propyl paraben.

Pores do not have muscles thus, they do not open or close. The only thing that expands pores is the matter clogged within them.

really tho. KayJayM/rude

The Canadian version does not have SLS

What are you from the 1940's?

Are you talking about the daily cleanser by Cetaphil?

please cclarify your grammar :$ I can't understand after "it's safe to follow" idk what the even means...?

I have been using this for about 2 weeks. Previously I was using Dove but I was finding it to be drying. I figured I would switch to a cream cleanser for a while. I tried Cerave (both foaming and hydrating) and both caused breakouts in places there was none before. I read that sometimes ceramides clog pores for some and so, I stopped using them and any thing else for a bit. I began using this because they sell travel sized bottles for 2 bucks at the local pharmacy. Being both broke and kinda ugly I thought what have I got to lose? So far, Ive only lost three dollars. Gains? soft, even toned skin that I get compliments on, wow that's thrilling, but it may be temporary. Will update in three weeks. I want to add as a disclaimer I am also using homemade Vit C Serum (I've been using it for three years, same recipe) and complex 15. ***UPDATE*** I stopped using this for a while because it was clogging me up. I started using it again because I am not a young person...i need to be gentle on my old face. What i discovered is that Cetaphil, when not using the double cleasne method does not really get hardcore sunscreen & concealer off-obviously both of which I wear. I use a makeup remover & wash with this & water or use the "dry method"with this first and then water & this. I found using oil for suncreen etc removal however, was strange because the Cetaphil doesn't wash off oil. There isn't much SLS in this that's for sure. I like it, Im gonna keep using it now that I know how,

@ SeekinToBeRealAgain: no, that's not what happens. "Purging"as it's called only happens when you use actives-vitamin C AHA and BHA- because they speed up cell turnover thus pushing out debris in the pores. Cetaphil is an inert substance with no ability to increase cell turnover. Therefore, the OP should STOP using the product is pimples are appearing or acne is getting worse. It blows my mind how many people do not know how "purging" occurs and why.

Not everyone has a problem with Sulfates.

There are no actives in cetaphil. Therefore your skin was not going through a detox. Please do some reasearching

i just want to say I love your username.

WRONG PRODUCT. The product pictured above is the hydrating cleanser

Maybe YOU stare at yourself constantly, sounds like a mental illness to me

it's all the OTHER ingredients in silver serum that screw up your skin. Silver is all you need

Change your diet.

Do u use a wash cloth

I think it depends on the quality of water (hard vs soft) and how people use it such as rubbing the bar directly on their face or not using a washcloth with it. An example would be to rub the soap into the washcloth make a lather on the washcloth and then wash the face.

I think it's because a lot of people don't realize that they have to use a washcloth with it. I don't think anybody remembers that's how most are to wash.

My skin hates EVERYTHING. Especially Moisturizers. i use sensitive or baby dove sensitive with hydrating hyaluronic acid mist and that seems to be enough moisture. Any more than that and It can clog my pores up pretty bad. I've tried everything from high end to low, foaming, cream, gel and other bar soaps. ***Some information for anybody who wants to know. One of the main ingredients in Dove soap is lauric acid. Lauric acid has been clinically proven to kill P. Acnes. All you need to do is Google "Lauric acid p. Acnes" also lauric acid is used in the treatment of cold sores and fever blisters because it breaks down the surface of the bacteria cell membrane effectively destroying the virus contained within (any good high school student knows viruses are not living things until they inhabit bacteria cells) So does Dove soap cause acne? No. Will it help you with your acne? It will depending on your diet of course. No dairy, no sugar, no simple carbohydrates...Lots of water and clean towels. Please do not use tissue or paper towel to dry your face. They use a fairly caustic bleaching agent to make those things white and that causes damage to facial skin. Now you know :j

Yeah, that's the way unscented soap smells, lady. You actually wasted it?

Unless you're using active's leg BHA AHA or retin A your skin doesn't purge. That's a myth. Actives cause you to purge because they speed up cell turnover a hobo oil does not do that.if you're breaking out while using it after a week...stop.

the purple one is your best bet if you want to avoid any chance of irritation.

If you are suffering from inflammatory acne I suggest you review your diet. Nothing topical is going to help if you have food intolerances or a messed up gut.

it's *non* comedogenic.

Here are the ingredients Indications Can be used for the following skin conditions: Cleansers Ingredients Purified Water, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Glycerin, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate and PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Niacinamide, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6-II, Ceramide 1, Hyaluronic Acid, Cholesterol, Sodium Chloride, Phytosphingosine, Citric Acid, Edetate Disodium, Dihydrate, Sodium Lauroyl/Lactylate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum.

i loved it at first even though it wasnt doing much for my blackheads. Then I started getting pimples. I don't get them very often and thought maybe it was the chica y chico product I was using. I stopped using it and carried on with cerave and usual moisturizer. My skin went on looking worse every week. Finally, when I was in the shower i said screw it and washed my face with Dove like I used to and have for the last week. My face cleared and healed quickly. I started using the beta salic 2.0 again...no problems. In fact, just a few minutes ago after washing, this BIG comedone plug that was on the edge of my lips just popped out painlessly. This cerave product was indeed causing very badly clogged pores. --Update-- I have been looking into why this seemingly terrific cleanser was clogging my pores. It seems that for some people nicinamide causes breakouts through chronic, but very mild skin inflammation. For some this is collagen stimulatiing and for others with stuipid sensitive skin it's just too much.

I find there is no difference. You might want to go with the purple to avoid any chance of irritation

There are too many surfactants,one of the being coco-betaine. This ingredient was labelled irritant of the year by the American dermatology association. Look it up This is a very basic foaming in cleanser that will be all right for some, drying for many and highly problematic for a few. You may think that because it doesn't contain SLS are parabens that is better than Cetaphil (foaming or gentle) but it does contain quaterium 15 which is a preservative in it for Melda Hyde releasing agent. I would rather parabens. I would rather SLS over coco-betaine. So am I saying that Cetaphil daily foaming cleanser for oily skin or Cetaphil gentle cleanser is better than this? Yes, I am.

There are very irritating greens and his cleanser. If you find that your pores and being it's because your skin is being irritated. Stop using it

There's nothing wrong with Special Cleansing Gel. It wasn't for you that's all. The stuff is awesome IMO
