Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

After trying so many different cleansers with all sorts of promises - to clear up acne, blackheads, oiliness etc etc I found most often they would irritate my skin. Especially acne treatments with salicylic acid. After starting to use Cetaphil, I think anything else was just over-treatment and made my skin worse. This cleanser is nice and gentle, it doesn't sting and does help remove makeup. If you have heavy makeup, I'd wash twice or use a makeup remover first. Since switching to this product I can just cleanse dirt, oil and makeup off at night and simply wash with water in the morning and my skin feels excellent. My breakouts have slowed a lot, and heal faster. There's no harsh smell, it's a nice creamy formula (note it doesn't foam up, not a problem for me), and doesn't dry your skin out.

Great for sensitive skin! I can't use most facial cleansers but this one i can and highly recommend if you have sensitive skin!

I didn't want to give this product a 5/5 because there isn't really a 'wow' factor but I tried to think of something I could fault it on and there's nothing.

The packaging is pretty plain and simple, but functional and has a pump which I really like.

Its a smooth creamy consistency, quite runny but not watery or anything and does exactly what it claims; provides a gentle clean, removes light makeup and leaves skin soft. Like it says, it does only remove light makeup so I suggest removing the majority of your makeup first with a wipe to avoid disappointment.

As I said earlier, there isn't really any 'wow' factor with this product - simple packaging, plain texture, no fragrance.. but it works so well. I like the idea of using a gentle cleanser most days as I feel using a more harsh one daily isn't great for my skin.

I have repurchased this a few times now and while I like to switch up my cleansers, this is one I find myself constantly going back too.

This is a staple cleanser! i often stray away to try new things but always come back to this. If you get the big container its pretty good value for money. perfect for all skin types, lovely consistency. The only issue i have is that sometimes i feel as if its too gentle to do anything and that its not actually working but it must be good because i always come back to it!

Whenever I use this cleanser it is because my skin has been feeling particularly sensitive or inflamed and Cetaphil always sees me through! I have been coming back to this cleanser for over five years now and it is my rock. Has a really light fragrance, soothing, creamy (without being thick) consistency and just feels comforting. Highly recommend to all skin types.

I used this product when I had bad acne as a teenager. I have sensitive skin so couldn't use any of the harsher products out there. Cetaphil is really gentle on the face and left it hydrated.This was the only thing that worked for me and kept my skin under control. Definitely recommend for those with problem skin!!

I absolutely love this cleanser! i have acne prone skin and this cleanser has done wounder to keep my skin under control. This is the one product that i have always been able to rely on has it also leave my skin feeling super soft after i have used it.

I have used Cetaphil for 7 years now, which included all my high school years. It is my favourite cleanser and I recommend it to absolutely everyone. I have combination skin and I find that Cetaphil works a treat throughout my dry phases (especially) and my greasy phases. It leaves skin feeling soft, clean and lightly moisturized. Perfect for sensitive skin- which it states and all other parts of the bodies. I have used it when I have had a rash, as a soap substitute. Perfect for everyday use, and easy to use as it comes in a pump.

I have such sensitive, patchy skin and this is so nice to use. I find with most cleansers if I don't put on a moisturizer straight after my skin feels tight (in the bad way) and dry and sometimes even sore. But this is so good for my skin and including it in my beauty routine has made a big noticeable difference in the condition of my skin. It doesn't lather up at all, which is great because anything that does usually dries out skin, but it really depends on whether you're okay with this. It definitely makes my lathering exfoliator feel like a luxury! The consistency is quite watery and thin but you don't need a whole lot of it to cover your entire face and neck.
