Cetaphil : Gentle Skin Cleanser

alrightyy well i have always had acne! like since i was five! but now that im fifteen it started to get even worse! so i asked my momma what i should do. she told me to use cetaphil. at first i was like ahhhh helll no! because i always saw that ugly, boring bottel just sitting on the sheleves at the grociery stores. waiting for some sucker to purchase that useless sh*tt. but everyone in my family used it and they said it worked? so i decided to give it a try. its been two weeks and still nothing has changed?!?!? so im just kinda sorta freaking out right now! cause school is about to start back up and i dont want to go back looking like this!! so fingers crossed that something good starts to happpen any day now!:)

a doctor told me to use cetaphil because it doesn't help acne, but it doesn't hurt it. it simply cleanses your skin and leaves it as normal as possible. using bp and sacylic acid really made my skin worse and i believe it was due to all the chemical imbalances. i have tried everything: dan's regimen, proactiv, prescribed topicals, almost every OTC cleanser, toner, and lotion, etc.. and the only thing that works is doxycycline (a prescribed pill that i take once daily) and cetaphil gentle in the morning and at night, a third time if you workout or sweat at work. i have rather oily skin and tried the normal to oily cetaphil, but go with the gentle it works the best. wet face, gently massage every pore, and a few splashes. don't worry about having to rinse it all off, it's also made to be used without water. use sunscreen spf 15+ if you know you're going to be in the sun. don't worry about toners, and lotion. i haven't had a breakout since, withering wrinkles, and soft skin. seriously, do less, use less, get better results. go to your doctor, ask for doxycycline, and buy cetaphil gentle.

I like this product because it isn't harsh and rinses easily. It doesn't have a smell and isn't drying to the face. I've been washing my face with this this Cetaphil for a while and I do like it.

I started to use this cleanser when I was using Duac and Differin topicals, which were extremely drying. I read the Cetaphil reviews on acne.org and decided to buy the gentle skin cleanser and the moisturising lotion. I love using the Cetaphil cleanser; it cleans and leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth. I also think it has helped stop further acne breakouts. I was using various brand spot washes, which I think stripped my skin, which caused my skin to produce more oil and breakout. My skin has now cleared up thanks to Duac, Differin and Cetaphil. I'm now using the Cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser lotion twice a day and occasionally Differin at night to stop new breakouts. I also use a gentle no-alcohol toner (brand I use is Simple) after I use the cleanser to refresh and tone my skin. Cetaphil is made by Galderma which is the same brand that produces Differin, so it is a brand you can trust for dermatological excellence. The cleanser is relatively cheap, so it worth giving it a go and seeing if it works for you.

its great gentle and it leaves my skin soft and clean idk why people complain about the texture i<3 it

Since I first got breakouts in early high school, I've been trying what seems like hundreds of products to help my sensitive skin. Nothing ever seemed to work! Cetaphil was always a product I came back to when my face was recovering from the damage other cleansers had done. I highly recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin. In fact, I really do recommend it to anyone. I know we can't have everything but I would love it if it helped with blackheads too. Great cleanser though! It'll be the only cleanser I use for everyday use - morning and night. Ps: I buy the 1litre pump bottle as it's lasts for a few months and is a great price!

I have been usuing this product for about a week now and I like it. It has sort of helped reduce the redness of my acne but it has not really got rid of many pimples/ whiteheads yet...only a few. Another good thing it leaves my skin feeling clean.

Only been using this for a week or so, so I cant say it has changed my acne, but I can tell you that my skin feels clean!! It also doesnt irritate my skin, like most cleansers normally would. I was reading these reviews before i bought it, the funniest one said "its like jizz on your face! Buy it! "This was a comment on the texture.....that speaks for itself. Thanks whoever wrote that, I laughed so hard....

If you simply want softer skin, this is good. If you are trying to get rid of acne, this will have no effect- maybe even worsen.

The product has to be used with prescriptions or acne creams to decrease breakouts.
