Cetaphil : Gentle Skin Cleanser

It took me a few years to finally find a good face wash. I've used a lot of different face wash and none of them worked for me. Cetaphil is the best face wash I've tried so far. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't clear my ance completely. I used to breakout once or twice a month but this has help prevent me from breaking out. and If I do breakout, its because I'm stressed out. This face wash is so gentle and creamy. It feels so nice against my skin. It doesn't foam but I've read somewhere that sulfate is what makes a cleanser foam and it's bad for you. So in that case I'm fine the way it is. My face feels so soft, clean, and refreshed. Works for me:)

it's a really good product and i would recommend it to anyone! i use it when i wake up and whenever i take a shower at night. i usually use biore moisture lotion with 15spf afterwards because the cetaphil may dry out your skin. it cleared up my acne within a week!

My acne is light, T-zone is oily, and cheeks are very dry. In the days when I had perfect skin (ironically, all my life before the age of 20), I didn't use a cleanser at all. Lately, I've had this idea to create a new, very simple routine: cleanse, then moisturize. So far, Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser is exactly what I've been looking for. My skin looks and feels like it has taken a huge sigh of relief. This product won't work for everyone. Here is some background on myself to help you decide whether or not this product might work for you. My acne didn't start until I was 20 (I'm now 24). My skin changed drastically around that time, and my forehead and chin suddenly became very oily while my cheeks remained very dry. I acquired NUMEROUS little clogged pores in the oily areas that eventually would erupt into pimples. I found that anything with salicylic acid ingredients made my skin itchy and worsened my acne. Before this I used Purpose; it was an improvement, but I still would get 3-6 painful pimples at a time. Also, BP wasn't so great for me. I realized it wasn't doing much when I stopped using it 6 weeks ago. This is the first time in 4 years that I have NOT experienced the pain of emerging pimples and itchiness. My acne is healing, and I have no new pimples emerging. I hope this trend will continue! I'm looking forward to having beautiful skin!

I started using this product after Christmas day because I noticed a lot whiteheads, blackheads and oil in my skin because of the food I ate. After using it for one day I don't see any difference on my face, but I still continued using it. After 3 days my face broke out! Red large bumps with white pus starts to form... I feel like giving up but I give it another chance to restore my skin for one week. After one week, the acne blemishes and the pimples disappeared. I'm still grateful it restores my skin to its normal state. Forget about the parabens it contained because those are added in a very small amount. I also became horrified at first, but after researching it, those parabens may cause breast cancer, but you are not applying it on your breast and you are not ingesting it so no big deal. Just give it a chance to work on your skin.

This is the best product that i have ever used for my skin. I suffered from moderately severe acne, and tried almost every OTC product and facewashes to clear up my skin.Nothing helped. In fact, some of the cleansers irritated my skin and completely dried out my face.. I gave Cetaphil a try, and fell in love with it. Cetaphil salvaged my skin, and does not aggravate/ irritate my acne. I use it twice everyday, along with other dermatologist-prescribed topical drugs and my condition has greatly improved. Thanks to Cetaphil!! I would recommend this product to anybody who has sensitive/dry skin and suffers from acne.

This is a great face wash!! My acne, now light, used to be medium/severe, and so I started using medicated acne cleansers like Clearasil. However, this didn't help so I tried switching to Cetaphil, thinking that maybe the chemicals in the Clearasil were what were irritating my face. And I'm happy to say it worked!! My face is clearer than ever before using Cetaphil, along with topical Tretinoin and sulfur. However, Cetaphil is not good for getting off makeup; I hardly ever wear it so this is not a problem for me, but for others who wear more makeup it might be an issue. Anyway, I highly recommend this facewash if you are looking for a gentle, non-chemical cleanser that doesn't irritate sensitive skin.

it was recommended to me for my sensitive acne prone skin. This is a gentle cleanser rather than an acne treatment so I didn't really expect much to begin with. It feels weird and did nothing for my skin

I have only been using this for about a week and it has worked amazing. I never write reviews for anything, but this product deserves one. My acne has cleared so much. I usually get really dry skin with my cleansers, but this one actually makes it softer. I have tried EVERY product I can think of, I am sticking with this one now.

Its a good cleanser when I run out I begin to have small pimples appear I buy more and there gone

This cleanser is a Godsend. I have incredibly sensitive skin, so much so that even cleansers designed for children leave me dry and tight. When I cleanse with Cetaphil, my skin feels thoroughly clean, without the harsh after effects of most cleansers, in fact, my skin actually feels softer after using it. Cheap and easy to find, I recommend this to ANY ONE with acne prone skin!
