Cetaphil : Gentle Skin Cleanser

I live this cleanser! Its really gentle and goes on really smooth. However, i have really dry skin around my cheeks and i found that this was a little too drying for me. Will continue using it though :D

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 wont dry out your skin and cleans your skin pretty well.Doesn't get rid of acne though.

This cleanser is obviously not for treating acne or exfoliating. But if you want or need to avoid irritation (e.g., peeling or dryness after using retin-a), this is a very good cleanser.

recomenced by my dermotologist and it is great at getting acne away but not being too harsh

Its a very gentle cleanser, which makes my skin feel really soft, i get dry patches on my skin, but yet i have very oily skin mainly in my t-zone, and i suffer from blemishes! It has a creamy feel when on your skin , moisturizing, but not greasy! soft ,leaving you with skin like a baby's....lol :P

Many people complain that this cleanser does not clear up acne on it's own. Since Cetaphil doesn't contain any acne fighting ingredients, this can only be expected. What Cetaphil does contain however is gentle, soothing ingredients which won't further irritate sensitive, acne prone skin. During the summer months, I can use whatever cleanser I want and I don't need to worry about dryness. However, in the winter my skin becomes incredibly dry and flaky. Cetaphil is the perfect answer to dry/sensitive winter skin issues. While it won't clear skin on its own, Cetaphil is a great cleanser for your entire acne fighting regime. I use this cleanser, salicylic acid cleansing pads (Such as Oxy or Clearasil, which are better than cleansers with salicylic acid, since they leave the acne fighting medicine on the skin, giving it a chance to work), followed by Cetaphil's rich moisturising cream at night, and Neutrogenia Oil-Free Moisturizer with SPF in the morning. If I have larger pimples, I use a BP spot treatment. This combo is great, and keeps my skin perfectly balanced and healthy (not red and irritated)!

I use it only in the morning when my skin has natural oil and I want to refreshen it. It is easy to use it and skin feels nice afterwards. However, it does not remove foundation, creams etc. I tried many times but does not work.. I gave up to use it as a make up remover and use only as a cleanser.

I had read a lot of reviews on this cleanser, but had never actually gotten round to buying it, as I figured it would do the same as every other cleanser. I had been using Nutrogena Acne Stress Control, for about 6 months, and had no problem with it, except that it made my skin quite red. Anyway I ran out of that a few weeks ago, and saw Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser at the supermarket, so I figured I'd give it a go. My acne is moderate, I get breakouts on my chin, and a few on my cheeks, and a lot of redness on my forehead. After just a few days of using this, I noticed a huge improvement in my skin, not so much with the acne, but with the redness! I thought my acne was quite bad, until I saw my face without redness and realised it wasn't as bad as I thought. My skin feels so much smoother, and 90% of the redness has completely gone! The first couple of days, I did notice it was giving me a few more pimples on my chin, but I have heard from a lot of people that it will get worse before it gets better, as it pulls up all the bacteria out of your skin. I stopped using it for a few days, and tried a Nivea Cleanser, as I was worried about those new pimples, but then my skin just got red and irritated, so I went back to the Cetaphil and I love it! My acne is slowly clearing up, and it is amazing how smooth my skin feels! Bottom line is, I love this cleanser. I will update again after I have been using it for a month or two, but so far I really like it. I do recommend!

It helpes me alot i used to break out on my chin, nose and forhead not i dont have one pimple or zit popping up on my skin! its soft and smooth
