Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I initially bought this for my daughter, as her skin reacted badly to an "all natural" brand. I ended up using Cetaphil cleanser myself after my own cleanser ran out, and I was pleasantly surprised - it removed all make up well on the first cleanse, but left my skin nice and soft and fresh - no irritated or dry feeling. and happily my daughter's skin didn't react badly to it. I guess I like my cleanser (and all products) to be a bit more "exciting", with ingredients that I feel like are doing more than expected. However, the problem with that is your skin can end up in worse shape and with bad reactions. Cetaphil keeps it simple and does what it says it will do - cleanse without irritation.

I used this because my pharmacist recommended it. I get dermatitis and eczema so I thought this would be a great alternative to soap. I didn't react to it, which is great but I did find it extremely greasy and I could feel it still sitting on my skin from one shower to another.

I do love this cleanser and it is great for people who have normal balance skin but because I have blemishes I need a stronger cleanser, it is very gentle and very moisturising the only reason I wouldn't use it again is because it is a bit too gentle for me but it is still a great cleanser

I picked this up a really long time ago and thought I'd do a review on it now. This is a good basic cleanser, but it may not meet everyone's needs and wants.

This comes in a big bottle with a pump, I quite this as it always dispenses the perfect amount of product. Also, this lasts for ages as you only need a tiny amount each time and mine lasted me for a year. This is quite a runny cleanser, and is kind of a milky white colour. It doesn't have any noticeable scent which is good for people sensitive to scents. I found this cleansed my skin quite well but not like if I used an oily skin cleanser, so it worked better in winter than summer for me. I think this would work best with sensitive skin or normal skin, sometimes I need more cleansing power for my oily skin.

I would maybe buy this again, it's a good basic cleanser but it works the best for me in winter so I'm not too sure what to think about it. If you have sensitive skin give this a try though, as it's made for sensitive skin so it would probably work best.

I absolutely adore this cleanser. I used it every day to take off my makeup and to cleanse my face before toning and moisturising. It worked really well as both. I will be buying this again when my current cleanser runs out.

I want to like this product, it's so popular and developed by dermatologists, but I can't get over the pharmaceutical smell and gritty bits.

The product is light weight, liquid with gritty bits. I find the smell overpowering, thought I can't place it so I refer to it as pharmaceutical. It's not pleasant for me. I also find I need to clean my face twice to get the foundation off, which is double the time to clean and deal with the product. Although I do like that's it fragrance-free, still there are many of other fragrance-free facial cleansers out there for me.

I keep giving it a try (about once year) as the product does last long, and it doesn't dry my skin.

I guess not all beauty products are beautiful to use :P

Love the whole range. It's so good on my sensitive skin and perfect for my eczema it doesn't irritate and actually helps clear if up faster. Teamed with the moisturiser it's def a go to. I admit I didn't reach for it as the packaging isn't eye catching or appealing to me personally but glad dad introduced me to this

Loving this product so far. The smell is very neutral - no perfumes, which is good for sensitive skin. I haven't noticed much in the sense of clearing up spots but it makes my skin feel softer
