Cetaphil : Gentle Skin Cleanser

I have combination/sensitive skin and had light acne when i started using this product before i was using a salicylic acid acne treatment but i heard salicylic acid can be to irritating for sensitive skin so i switched to Cetaphil Gentle skin cleanser. After using this product for about 2 months my acne became much worse. I found out one of its main ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulfate can dry/irritate skin and is HIGHLY Comedogenic! I now use honey to cleanse my face and my face is still healing from the breakouts caused by this product. Ever since i stopped using this product i have not seen any new breakouts. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT

it didnt feel like my face was even getting cleaned. I would feel refreshed afterwards but a couple hours later my face would be greasy. I would even wake up with more acne than before!!!! i read the reviews but it just didnt work for me.

I wish I could rave about this product like everyone else, but I honestly feel like every time I used this product that I was washing my face in lotion. Then I thought maybe I actually bought the lotion bottle instead and was using that instead of the cleanser, but no I DID buy the cleanser product. My face broke out , like pretty BADLY!!!! and I told myself I would never, NEVER ever use any cetaphil product again... that is until my friend gave me the bar soap of Cetaphil version of the gentle cleanser to try for free... OMG THAT stuff worked. I Love, LOVE the Cetaphil gentle cleanser BAR SOAP soooo much!!! and that product actually made my skin clear up drastically in 2 days (read my review if interested).. so if this product doesnt work for you, then go try the bar soap instead.

Should only be used if you want to take off your make up, don't expect this to help your acne.

I honestly don't understand why so many people recommend cetaphil as a cleanser. My skin does NOT feel clean whenever I use this. I tried cleaning a makeup sponge with this to see if it actually cleans anything on my face, and nothing came off. I used a pea size of Dan Kern's cleanser, and the makeup on my sponge easily came off! How is cetaphil cleansing in any way???

Truthfully awful for me. Does not clean pores whatsoever even with a cleansing brush. I know many people swear by this but I can not relate in any way shape or form. Creates oil build up in my pores leading to redness and a bumpy texture. Causes breakouts every time I put it on my skin. Absolute worst skin care product I've ever used. This is just a personal review but I felt the need to share in case anyone else would come across it. If you have problem skin this is not the face wash for you, if you are looking for something for maybe a child to use I can see the relevance. Would not recommend if you're looking to treat break outs or looking to wash away anything but a light sweat. Only even selected a star because it's required.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is the worst thing thats EVER happened to my skin. My skin started acting up during December 2014, nothing major, but it was getting worse. I decided to purchase this oh so lovely product in hopes that it would clear my skin up a bit. Hands down worst decision i EVER made. It broke me out sooooo bad. I had faith in this product as so many youtube videos were made about how incredible it was, and how gentle it was. I needed a gentle cleanser because i read that you should be as gentle as possible with your skin, so i thought this must work since it says GENTLE SKIN CLEANSER. But after it broke me out i read articles saying how it was the devil and that the ingredients are sooo harsh on your skin. I CANNOT believe i didnt google the ingredients before trying it. Its full of sh*t !!! In summary, cetaphil is no good and is filled with harsh ingredients that broke me out, i still have acne to this day thanks to cetaphil, please dont put this rubbish on your skin and go for all natural products! articles: [link removed] and [link removed]

My friend recommended me this so I tried it out. After the first wash, it felt ok so I tried it out more. After often washing, I noticed that it doesn't really help with acne. So if you're just looking for a cleanser that cleanses well here it is.

It has the right idea of no irritation, but it didnt do a think for my acne. It feels like a lotion, and isnt the point of a cleanser, to lather, exfoiliate, and get rid of excess oils on your face? Maybe its just me, but this product does not work.

it doesn't do anything for me, just stings and leaves my face oily still.
