Cetaphil : Gentle Skin Cleanser

Really good for skin, doesn't make a huge difference to acne but cleared up my skin somewhat, still have pimples so am trying clearasil but highly reccomended for people with light acne or just as a skin cleanser... does not irritate skin in any way. Great product.

This product feels like a lotion. Because its thick you can use it to shave without cutting yourself as long as you shave properly. Its a good face wash, but I prefer something gentle that I can lather.

I saw results on my dry, sensitive, flaky skin after just a few uses of this product. I was tired of irritating and drying my skin out with harsh products so I switched to this. It has been great so far. Also for the people worried about Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, it's literally 1% or less of a concentration of it, it's harmless in those amounts. I highly recommend this stuff, especially for people with dry, damaged skin. It's also excellent for winter. I use it in conjunction with CeraVe moisturizer and a healthy, skin care Diet and my skin is healing up very well.

I've tried using neutrogena extra gentle cleanser for a week and it clogged up my pores. Switch to this and I've no problem so far.

This should probably be your basic facial cleanser, and the bonus is that if you don't want to use a heavy moisturizer you can just pat it off instead of rinsing and it keeps skin soft-- these were, in fact, instructions from my dermatologist, and, although he was a bit of a quack in other ways, THIS was definitely a great idea. I also occasionally exfoliate and use different cleansers to cleanse a little more deeply.

My skin is really sensitive but I still get terrible breakouts, most cleansers designed to rid pimples are way to drying and only increased my skin's oil production. The great thing for me is that I can use the benzoyl peroxide cream my GP prescribed me and not end up waking up all dry and flaky!

Since I have started using the gentle skin cleanser, I have not had a single breakout. My skin is calm, clear, and soft! I love this stuff and I wish I had used it in high school! I do occasionally use other cleansers so that my face doesn't get too used to it, the same way I occasionally use a clarifying or deep moisturizing shampoo. Mostly I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub in addition to the Cetaphil- about once a week, I like to exfoliate a little bit. This combo has worked for me!

This is a really nice cleanser. At first I was bothered by the fact that it didn't "foam", but it's so nice to smooth on and then wash off, and it does remove make up and concealer/foundation very easily. I also have very sensitive skin, and so far it hasn't burned, made me itchy, or caused rashes, so that's nice!

Try it, if it works, keep on using it but if you get a bumps in your forehead, redness on your nose, seborreic dermatitis; it's probably caused by it cuz that's what I got. At first I refused to believe it was the cleanser but the thing is that my other cleansers before this one did not contained sodium lauryl. My skin is oily and I stop medications this summer to try the Cetaphil, I got no acne but seborreic dermatitis on my forehead. I thought it was because I stop medicating with Diff the skin but even now using the Differin gel I have and its caused by Cetaphil. BTW the Walgreens brand burns my face. I recomend this product on your body and the mouisturizewr its great as a shaving cream try it and you'll love it.

It's undeniably the best facial cleaner for people AFTER your major problems with acne have been solved. I found that many other facial cleaners were too harsh after my acne was gone, and actually made it just come back. This product will reduce minor acne, and makes your skin feel awesome, with no irritation or dryness. However, if you suffer from a sudden breakout of more severe acne, it will not be as effective. It is pricey, but worth it.
