Cetaphil : Gentle Skin Cleanser

I used Cetaphil cleanser for about 5 months before realizing that it was actually clogging my pores, making my skin oilier and not cleaning my skin well enough (and I don't even wear foundation!). However, my husband whose skin is perfect and who is on the drier side loves this stuff. It was just too heavy for me. After that, I tried Neutrogena Fresh foam face wash and that was too drying. Finally I switched to Purpose gentle face wash which works very well for me. It gives my skin its perfect balance. I checked "no" in the "recommended" area simply because most people visiting this site is acne prone and on the oily side and would probably not benefit from Cetaphil. However, it is a great product if you are lucky and blessed with good skin. Also do not forget to wear a high quality suncreen everyday year round as most of the skin problems are kinked to sun exposure.

I was pestered into trying this product. It did not work (even slightly) for my skin type. Kind of expensive too, for what it is. Also, the ingredient list scares me. Years after trying Cetaphil, I am using a different product that has natural ingredients and it works for my skin. I have a friend that swears this product works for her, but she also has very decent skin in the first place!

Bottom line is this stuff sucked i was better off doing what i did in the first place and that was a tip from a friend who washes her face with warm water and thats it. When I washed my face wit warm water it was cleaner than how it is now,and now i've wasted like 10 dollars on nothing. Very disappointed.

I expected it to do a lot better, but in the end, it just made my skin worse.

i had a few pimples' and i used cetaphil and it made my face itch and turn red it also made my eyes swell! never will i ever use this product again. i now use dove soap it leaves my face and feeling clean and not gummie.

Yuck, I hate this cleanser. It does nothing for oily skin. It doesn't feel like it cleans the face at all it just seems to cover your face in thick, goopy moisturizing liquid. This products poor cleaning ability is demonstrated by it's inability to remove any makeup whatsoever. After using this cleanser your face feels soft....but dirty! Yuck!

The first time I used this, my face broke out horrible. Second time, I had the break outs plus an allergic reaction in my eyes. The good news is it has only a few ingredients, so it will help me pinpoint the exact ingredient that I'm allergic to.

I bought this cleanser because it got such great reviews on this site. You would not believe my dissapointment when in just a few days my skin turned into this horrible mess of dead skin, whiteheads, blackheads, cystic pimple, and hige red blotches on my face. i was mortified, i have always had acne but never this bad. I have no idea why not only did i not get the benefits of this cleanser that everyone else did, but my face actually got worse.
