Cetaphil : Daily Facial Cleanser, Normal to Oily Skin

This cleanser does what it says. Ive used Cetaphil for a very long time and Ill stick to it its a great cleanser. Its a nice simple cleanser thats helps clean your face Its not harsh and is scent free which is great.

I love this stuff. I first became acquainted with Cetaphil products through the acne.org forums, just before I began my accutane course in December 2009. I needed to find a gentle cleanser and quality moisturizer to get me through the dryness that was to come. I started my course with this cleanser, before the accutane dried up all my oil. Once accutane dried my skin out, I switched to Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser, which worked wonderfully for the rest of my course. But after I finished my course in the summer of 2010 and my skin settled into normalcy (not too oily, not too dry), I went back to Cetaphil's Daily Facial Cleanser and have been using it ever since. My skin seems to love this cleanser, whether during the hot/humid summers or frigid/dry winters of New England. It leaves my face feeling thoroughly clean without the harsh, over-drying effects of foaming cleansers I'd previously used. But I do always quickly follow it with moisturizer in the mornings. The consistency of the Cetaphil cleansers in contrast to typical cleansers may take some getting used to, but I quickly grew to love the way they made my skin feel. I am now 4.5 years post-accutane, and I get a small pimple here and there like anyone with normal skin, but I believe this cleanser has helped to keep my skin mostly acne-free and irritation-free. Whenever I try another product (because I'm temporarily without my Cetaphil or just because I'm curious) and it inevitably irritates my skin, I always end up returning to this, and my face thanks me. For those struggling with dryness and/or sensitivity (including those currently on accutane), I would recommend the gentle cleanser, but for everyone else, I highly recommend this product.

I just started using this product, and I am thrilled with the results. I could feel new pimples coming in, and this stopped them in their tracks for the most part. Plus red marks from old breakouts are starting to fade. Great product.

Leaves skin soft w/o drying it out. My gf also uses it, we have different skin types, and she loves it too. I have very sensitive skin, and have been using this for years after trying tons of facial cleansers that dried out and irritated my skin. I love this product.

I think this product would be good if you have sensitive skin. However, this product just didn't work for me. I have been using proactive for a few years now but unfortunately I never got much results. I switched to cetaphil face wash with the cetaphil light lotion after reading some reviews but after one month I started to get break outs on my forehead and chin that I never had before. In fact it was the worst break out I ever had. So now I'm switching back to proactive until I can find a better product.

I love this product. When I first used it dried out my face and irritated my skin; I've used so many products within the past year that made my skin so sensitive, but that was only with my first use. I now use it day and night and I love how my skin feels. It feels so clean and not stripped of my natural oils. It helps with my complexion. Not a miracle product but it's the best I've tried. I've used so many others and this has been the most effective with only a week's use! This so helps keep my breakouts under control. It helps with my oily skin. I live in Tucson, AZ and the dry heat makes me so OILY. It's nasty. This helps with that too! I've tossed all the other face washes and this is now my one and only.

Good cleanser and a little goes a long way. For those that claim there is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) in this product need to read the label with some more attention to detail. It has Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which is not the same and safe for your skin. Give it a try, if nothing else it can be used for shaving.

this is a great product, i dont even bother to use bathing soap, i just wash with this, and moisturize with Aveeno, now my skin is improving!

Good if you have sensetive skin.

I Love this! i think ppl are getting confused. there are 2 liquid facial cleansers. Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser which is opaque and creamy and is too gentle for the purpose of removing makeup.cetaphil daily facial Cleanser which is clear and better at removing makeup and residue.
