Good - not great

This is a good, not great product. It does what it’s supposed to and gives my face a thorough clean. Smell is very neutral, it’s not offensive but it’s borderline “cleaning product” - it could be a little more fragrant. I liked that I could use it on my body as well, although I think it’s too small and too expensive to be use regularly as a body wash. It doesn’t look particularly pretty in my shower - it’s not vital but I’m a sucker for nice packaging!

Gentle Cleanser

A reliable gentle cleanser, not too abrasive. Doesn't do much for my acne prone skin though as it already has acne but I reccomend for someone who needs something simple.

Sting

I purchased a small bottle of this to trial, and although it seems to cleanse well, it stings my skin. Not crazy stinging, but enough that I don't feel like I want to work it in or leave it on my skin any longer than absolutely necessary. Although this stinging can be due to irritation and sensitisation from using Tretinoin, I won't be repurchasing this product for use on my face. Its fine when using it on my neck and decolletage (I use a much weaker retinol on them) and don't experience the same irritation and stinging in these areas.

I won't be repurchasing this as I need to find products that are compatible with my skin as it adapts to using Tretinoin.

My husband uses it and doesn't experience any stinging, although he says it can sometimes leave his skin feeling a little tight.

Gentle option

I used this for my baby as he had extremely sensitive skin and this was great. It didn't dry out his skin any more and it helped to clear his ecxma up too

Tips: add it to your bath while the tap is still running

super gentle

Cetaphil cleanser is great for sensitive skin. Its not very effective at taking off all my makeup. I have to thoroughly take it off before cleansing. It doesn't dry out skin at all and I can imagine this being good for someone with dry and sensitive skin! but I dont really reach for it that often. I prefer a heavy duty cleanser to this.

good soft cleanser

This cleanser is great for sensitive skin. It's gentle and it won't dry or disturb your skin's natural Ph balance. I would recommend it to all- though my only problem is that is doesn't remove make up very well. You will need a good make up remover to go with this product.

Gentle but effective

My partner swears by this product which led me to try it. I was apprehensive because I had yet to find a cleanser that worked without drying my skin out. Cetaphil was surprisingly gentle and cleaned my skin very well. I love to creamy consistency and the option to use it without water. It's a great staple to have around, I especially like to have a bottle in the shower to be part of my morning routine, which is why the pump feature is particularly handy.

Cetaphil

Cetaphil has worked well on my sensitive skin I usually use it on the shower when I am running short on time. No fragrance which is good as it doesn't irritate skin or eyes and you can buy it in various sizes. I find it not too bad price wise and although it does make my face feel clean it doesn't feel overly soft after using it. Cetaphil is like your middle of the road plain cleanser.

Tips: Works well on eye makeup and good for sensitive skin

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser - Review

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.

Clean hands

I was given this to use and found it did its job. Didn't have a sMell that would make me use again. Did the job it was meant to and hands felt clean. Just not a product I would buy on a regular basis.
