Cetaphil : Gentle Skin Cleanser

I've used this for years, and I love it, although it took me a while to come around. I used to use the formula for oily skin, because I assumed that would be best for acne. However, I now use the regular formula with excellent results. Many people become disheartened because they expect it to clear acne, but that is not its purpose. It creates clean, soft skin and helps eliminate much of the redness and flaking caused by BP. I hated it for the first month because it didn't feel like the cleansers I was accustomed to. It feels like washing your face with lotion, which made me afraid it would cause more breakouts. Overall, don't be turned off because it feels different than you expect. It is an excellent cleanser, particularly for those pursing active acne treatment, as it repairs damage caused by the treatment process.

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 was fooling around with a lot of facial cleansers and I couldn't find one that would get rid of my acne. I started to use cetaphil because so many people recommended it online so I gave it a try. It felt weird a first, almost like my face wasn't clean, usually it would feel a little squeekey and I hated that feeling because I felt like all my good oils were being stripped away but I guess it was cleaning my face because even though it felt weird I was super moisturized after and my acne slowly started to go away. Along with starting to drink more water and sleeping more my acne was minimized by 90% and now I don't think I will ever change my cleanser because it is so gentle and reduces my acne.

I have always had relatively problem skin, its not very oily but has large patches around my chin/cheeks which get very deep and painful pimples, and I also get several blackheads. I have tried most products; Clean and Clear, Clearasil, and I used Proactiv for quite a while. Nothing has worked like this Cetaphil has. Originally I purchased the Cetaphil for Oily skin, and was disapointed as I found it very harsh on my skin and my skin always felt tight. So I decided to give it one more go, and purchased this one Cetaphil gentle cleanser for all skin types. It really works. It really REALLY does. It took me a while to get used to it, as it seemed creamier than other cleansers I had previously been using, but straight away my skin felt calmer, it wasnt so inflamed and my pimples werent so tender and sore. After a few weeks, I stopped getting the large cystic acne pimples, and lots of my blackheads had disappeared. I have been using this for 3 months and absolutley love it, I will never try anything else! My skin care regime now consists of Cetaphil cleanser, then BP 5% cream, and then Neturogena Sensitive Skin Moisturiser . My skin has never felt better, or been less troublesome! I used this forum a lot when trying to decide which products to use, and I hope this post helps someone!

I started using this about 3 weeks ago, and I love it. I have tried pretty much every acne wash known by man, including proactiv, neutrogena, acnefree, EVERYTHING. Also, bp and salyclic acid does nothing for my acne other than make it worse. After trying everything, I finally bought Cetaphil, and I must say I am really glad that I did. I wash my face with this in the morning and my face does not get oily for the rest of the day. I also use it at night because my face tends to get very oily at night, but using this, I can rest assured that my skin will not be crazy oily when I wake up. Everyones skin is different, but for me and my skin, this stuff has worked wonders and I am so glad that I bought it.

omg this stuff is like jizz on your face. get it.

Best cleanser ever. It feels weird on the skin but is super gentle. The most gentle cleanser I've ever used, less irritating than foam cleansers. If your acne is severe then I highly recommend this product. Purchased 3 bottles now, never stuck with a facial cleanser any longer. I Order it online because can't buy it in stores where I live. Expensive to have it mailed but its well worth it. Nothing beats this cleanser! Many cleansers try to sell you the idea that you can scrub away your acne. This is the biggest con in cosmetic advertising. I've bought hundreds of acne fighting cleansers. This cleanser has best assisted in the prevention of acne. No cleansers rid you of acne. So this is the best cleanser ever(that I've used)!

i love how it made my face clear just in 3 months!!

this stuff is simply amazing and nothing short of wonderful. it is very effective at significantly improving the look and feel of skin. i was a little iffy about the texture of the cleanser when i first started using it, but i warmed up to it after using it a few times. i love the way it makes my skin feel after rinsing and it greatly reduces acne over a period of time; be patient with it, it takes a good while to be completely effective, but it does work and it is by far the most amazing cleanser you could buy, in my opinion. i've used cetaphil's products for quite some time now, ever since my fiance unknowingly introduced it to me; i'd say about a year. but i just started using the gentle skin cleanser about a month ago and it has already worked wonders! i have oily skin and though it isn't oil-free, it is so gentle that is helps keep my skin's oil production under control, which is awesome. my skin felt and looked better than before after only the first use, with drastic results after about a week or two. i still get the occasional pimple or two once a month due to my period, but that's expected. my skin has definitely improved, thanks to this product and i highly recommend it to anyone who wants overall healthier skin. and it's great for all skin types; from the oiliest of the oily to the driest of the dry, and every skin type in between! :) i hope this review helps anyone that needs it, and i hope that the product works as well for you as it did for me, if you decide to purchase it! it's ten bucks well spent :)

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....
