Cetaphil : Daily Facial Cleanser, Normal to Oily Skin

DO NOT BUY IF U HAVE NORMAL TO OILY SKIN, SRY CETAPHIL OR SHOULD I SAY CETACRAP. U MADE SCHOOL REALLY FUN!!!

It dried up my skin so that it was flaking off in tiny pieces, but did nothing to prevent acne. (Usually it atleast dries out the zits, right?) I even apply a gentle moisturizer that did nothing to improve the tiny flaking. I stopped using it and my skin returned to it's non-dried state in about 2 days. This surprised me, seeing as it advertises that it 'doesn't dry out your skin', and I do not have very sensitive skin. I only used it once a day too.

This stuff does not do what it says it would do. My face felt unclean, dry and flaky. I wanted to try something gentle and made my skin feeling clean, soft and smooth; this is something I would never purchase again.

I bought this Cleanser after reading a lot of good reviews about it, hoping it would finally be THE ONE to clear my acne. It has been about two months since I've been using it once-twice a day and it is a good cleanser and makeup remover, but did nothing for my acne. Within the first week of using it, my acne was quite light, but by the second week my acne returned to normal and remained that way until now. I only continued using it since it was much pricier than the regular acne treatments and i would hate to see it go to waste. I won't be resorting to Cetaphil again.

Walmart ran out of the Gentle Skin cleanser (what I have been using forever, btw), so I was forced to get this. I have used this in the past and it dried out my skin, which isn't really good in combination with Dans BP. It left my skin feeling tight even after two pumps of moisturizer! Needless to say, I will never get this again and will stick to the Gentle Skin cleanser from Cetaphil!

may work for you but make sure to test first.

When I wash directly with Cetaphil, my skin is super dry and painful, and I tend to breakout. However, when I use it with my Nooni marshmallow whip maker and mix it with a little bit of Ph balanced soap, it works great and makes my skin super soft and clean. You can play around with it a bit and you can find a way to make it work, but it's not great on it's own. YMMV, give it a try.

Ive heard many good things about cetaphil, so i decided to try it on my acne prone skin. Two days after using it i woke up with my face so dry it was peeling as if I had a sunburn & it stung like crazy, and i even had more breakouts that were so red!! maybe my skin was just too sensitive for this and i should've gone for the gentle cleanser. I ended up fixing the damage it did with my good ol' trusty purity wash by philosophy i always end up running back to because it's just so gentle on my skin, as well as ponds moustrizer for the dryness it caused (but my skin is still flaking 2 weeks later when it never used to) shoot your shot if you want but that was my (bad) experience.

I thought this was going to work wonders for my skin, considering its so gentle, and it can balance my skin out while I use BP.... I was wrong. I really wanted to like this, the smell is so good to me; it smells like baby, but, it made me break out twice on my chin - with those headless pimples that hurt. And those are not fun. So I now use it as a body was (since it smells good) and its working very nicely, it actually leaves my arms and chest very soft. Even though it says facial cleanser, I'd totally recommend this as a body wash.

There is something in this particular cleanser and I suspect it is the fragrance that has been irritating my skin for some time now. I don't know why I didn't suspect this sooner but since the regular Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser has never caused me any problem of any kind I assumed this one would be similarly gentle. I am so glad that I switched to the regular (unscented) Cetaphil as I'm tired of having a chronically red-faced look and being prescribed Metrogel for borderline Rosacea!
