Cetaphil : Gentle Skin Cleanser

After I washed my face using this cleanser I wiped my face with my toner on a cotton pad. Once I was done I found that the pad was covered with dirt and grime. (which never happened with my previous cleanser) Although this product feels refreshing and smooth, it doesn't clean my face.

Good product for sensitive skin

this cleanser / moisuriser has transformed by skin from being red/ breakouts/ scaly- now smooth and clear. i now only get the odd spot on my skin after a hectic weekend instead of badly irritated skin on my chin and cheeks all the time i was using every potion and lotion under the sun. i now only use this- my skin looks great now, i wish i found this years ago. buy it !

I have always had relatively problem skin, its not very oily but has large patches around my chin/cheeks which get very deep and painful pimples, and I also get several blackheads. I have tried most products; Clean and Clear, Clearasil, and I used Proactiv for quite a while. Nothing has worked like this Cetaphil has. Originally I purchased the Cetaphil for Oily skin, and was disapointed as I found it very harsh on my skin and my skin always felt tight. So I decided to give it one more go, and purchased this one Cetaphil gentle cleanser for all skin types. It really works. It really REALLY does. It took me a while to get used to it, as it seemed creamier than other cleansers I had previously been using, but straight away my skin felt calmer, it wasnt so inflamed and my pimples werent so tender and sore. After a few weeks, I stopped getting the large cystic acne pimples, and lots of my blackheads had disappeared. I have been using this for 3 months and absolutley love it, I will never try anything else! My skin care regime now consists of Cetaphil cleanser, then BP 5% cream, and then Neturogena Sensitive Skin Moisturiser . My skin has never felt better, or been less troublesome! I used this forum a lot when trying to decide which products to use, and I hope this post helps someone!

I love it!! I've been using this for over a year now, and it has done a wonderful job of controlling my acne. (I'm a teen btw) It doesn't eliminate acne, but it keeps it well under control. Over time, it actually got rid of all my VISIBLE acne. I had faily light, but noticable acne. Cetaphil has kept my skin soft, smooth, and healthy. the best part is, since it can be used dry, I can just slap some on my face before i head to school, and it is absorbed into my skin by the time I arrive. It is also an effective make-up remover. It is very gentle, and is highly recommended. My relative is a pharmacist, and she personally told me that Cetaphil is THE BEST thing to use for my acne. notthing more, nothing less.

I'm in my late 20s. I have very sensitive combination skin, a lot of blackheads, and light to moderate acne, (with hyper-pigmentation that lingers on for a long time). I switched to Cetaphil after it was recommended to me by a friend, and I saw it had good reviews on this site. I used it for about 6 months every second day or so, and moisturised with aloe vera. The Cetaphil was fine when I only used it every second day; although it altered the texture of my skin and made it unpleasant and papery. After 6 months I decided to try a more regular regimen, and started washing my face with Cetaphil every day. I was very gentle, but it was too much for my skin. It made the dry patches dry and flaky, and my whole face became itchy. My skin looked aged. When I combined it with Cetaphil moisturiser it was even worse. I developed a bright red rash all over my face. I have given up and switched to a more natural product.

I tried this product hoping that it would work, but it did absolutlely nothing. I kept at it in the hopes that it might take awhile to kick in, but never did. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

It's a good wash if you don't have acne, or very little acne. I really saw no results although the r Cetaphil face wash for normal/oily skin is something I use till this day and actually works! So if this product isn't working for you, I totally recommend that one!

Oh my goodness! Where to begin! I randomly started breaking out, suffering from white heads/really clogged pores. I had been using the same make up products for a long while before so i knew it wasn't the make up's fault. My skin was having issues on its own so i need something to sooth it. It seemed this product was my best bet. It also advertised how it clears make up out of pores so that sold me even more. So the first time I used it, it felt awkward because it wouldn't lather, but i just kept washing away with my hands. When I got to my astrigent step i was shocked! The cotton pad was BROWN. I had spent so much money and it didn't clean a thing! I later ended up washing my face with this (after all the money i spent on it, i wasn't going to buy another cleanser) using a little manual facial brush (created a little lather), and the duo caused my cotton pad to come out less brown.. but it was still brown. I'm still using the cleanser out of guilt because of the price, but i have to use a facial wipe before, and then the brush with it, so the cotton pad can come out with barely anything on it. BOTTOM LINE- it doesn't clear pores very well, if at all, on its own when washing with hands (ESPECIALLY IF YOU WEAR MAKE UP) With a brush its a little better. While using this cleanser, i rely on my astrigent. The astrigent is what ended up saving my skin.

Best for use over summer to Lear acne before school. I suggest starting in may and combining it with an acne medication. Will keep purchasing!
