Cetaphil : Gentle Skin Cleanser

its great gentle and it leaves my skin soft and clean idk why people complain about the texture i<3 it

only thing that's ever cleared my skin within the past 2 years of having severe acne

My favorite gentle face wash, cleanses skin without drying it out! Love it! Leaves skin baby soft when I use my clarisonic with it! Don't be scared that it doesn't foam up, it still is getting your skin clean! It's just not stripping away all of the moisture in your skin.

This cleanser has never left my face feeling clean and soft. Instead, the strange, thick consistency has always made me worry it was clogging my pores. It didn't cause a massive breakout, but it certainly did nothing to help with existing chin breakouts or allow my skin to breathe. In fact, the cleanser always left my face feeling unclean yet strangely dehydrated at the same time. The cetearyl alcohol is quite irritating to me, I've discovered, so I stopped using it. [Not to mention that it contains harmful parabens, which not only cause cancer but disrupt the endocrine system and may contribute to hormone imbalances.]

I'm a 20yr old female in college. I had mild/moderate acne but after having my mirena IUD removed and starting Yaz bcp I had the most severe and horrific break out. My face was bright red and every single pore on my face seemed like it was a clogged pustule (the most horrendous word to exist). Before this monster break out, I had I've literally every face wash you can buy at the drug store and multiple of the expensive ones you can buy at Sephora and many, many natural options. I have very, very sensitive skin (literally infant sensitivity) and it's very reactive and it loves to get bright red and hot. Before the break out I had never used cetaphil before because I didn't think it would be strong enough to clear things up. After the severe break out my face was in so much pain from inflammation and from the pustules (that sh*t hurts and is so sensitive like I have two tattoos and I honestly think having my face tattooed for a few hours would be more pleasant) that everything felt painful and harsh. Until I found this face wash!!! It feels so nice and calming and pleasant on my face. After I rinse it off my face doesn't feel tight or raw or dry, it feels just pleasant and happy and clean! I can even use this twice a day without upsetting my face! Miracle!

It works wonders for my skin! I have sensitive and combination skin. This cleanser leaves my face fresh and clean, and never causes breakouts. But everyone has different skin.

been using this skin cleanser for long time and still cant find other better product that this it cleanses skin without drying out my skin and not tightness.

I used this for about a month now- It's literally the best product I've ever bought. I was skeptical because it doesn't "foam up" or make suds like many other products- you merely apply in circular motions and rinse! I've tried so many different regimes and now- I wake up and wash my face with cetaphil and then get on with my day. I don't even apply moistroiser anymore! At night I repeat the process! I literally use nothing else accept cetaphil! Honestly- just try it because its cheap enough that if you are unsatisfied you can move on to something else!

I used this product when I was in my teens and didn't know any better. The internet wasn't as robust as it is now so it was hard to really find out people's honest feelings and results so I just went with what was available in the grocery store. Plus back then, there just wasn't the options that there are now. My acne in my teens wasn't really that bad so once I hit my 20's, I just started using whatever facial soap was available and I thought my zits were a thing of the past. Not so much. Now in my early 40's, 3 kids into the picture and all of a sudden, my cheeks, chin and nose are crazy. The acne is bad pretty much all the time but definitely worse during 'that time of the month'. At first, I bought this product again, because it is what I used way back when. There was absolutely no change in my acne at all. It definitely didn't get worse, so I guess there is that. But it didn't get better. And like other people have mentioned below, there is this kind of filmy, residue that is left after you rinse it off. I guess it is supposed to feel like a moisturizer but to me, it feels dirty. Plus side is that it is relatively cheap so I didn't feel bad throwing it out. But now that I have found a product that actually clears up acne (yay), I can say that this is not an acne-reducing product at all. My sister introduced me to Ninja and since then my acne has minimized to the point , in three months, that I am almost back to normal. Which is just an amazing feeling. I didn't realize how much acne can affect one's mood and self esteem.So nice to have good skin back - but this cetaphil stuff is not the way to go about attacking acne IMHO.

the best cleanser for sensitive skin ever! I've used this cleanser for 10+ years, and absolutely love it! unfortunately it does not foam or remove makeup. but it does not irritate my sensitive skin at all!
