Gentle Skin Cleanser Reviews

Cetaphil cleanser is my favourite .. it is not fragranced... light weight ... can be used by any skin type ... removes makeup and dirt leaving skin hydrated and clean to absorb moisture and serum... a very good quantity goes a long way at a very good price ... i love it u can use it on daily basis

I received a deluxe sample of the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. This cleanser can be used for face or body, however I used it as a body cleanser. I don't have any special skin needs apart from dry skin which is not sensitive. This is recommended by dermatologists and paediatricians however frankly I'm not sure why. Yes it has a short ingredients list however it also contains SLS and three types of parabens. All ingredients we tend to avoid nowadays! I have included the full ingredients list below.

I chose to use this on my body and it did a proper job of it however there isn't really anything to tempt me to buy this. I think there's much better products on the market for sensitive skin without the nasty ingredients.

Ingredients
Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Stearyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben

I was recommended this cleanser by my dermatologist when I began treatment for my acne using roaccutane as she said I “wasn’t to use anything harsh” I used it and felt it did nothing for my skin. In fact it actually dried it out more. I am not someone who likes a squeaky clean feeling g after washing my face but I like to be able to feel my skin is clean and balanced after cleansing and found this did neither. The ingredients aren’t gentle at all if you research them, one of which is sodium lauryl sulfate, an incredibly harsh foaming agent. This I wouldn’t be concerned about on my body but on my face...no thank you. I have since found out the reason dermatologists recommend it are that it’s fragrance free (many alternatives are though) and because medical doctors are said (not fact) to be linked to the manufacturer through monetary related schemes. If you want a good basic cleanser I would go for something like the alpha h balancing cleanser, the Natio rose water cream cleanser or even make your own cleansing oil with your choice of an oil mix for people with dry skin.

This is a staple in my bath. I have dry sensitive skin and this does not dry it further like many other cleansers. This is my go to cleanser for face and body during winters. It is a basic no fuss unscented cleanser leaving skin moiturized. It does not give you the squiky clean feel either which is what I want for my very dry skin. It does get rid of light makeup but would recommend using a wash cloth or use a makeup remover before using this. You get so much product for such little price and i have never had any allergic reaction to it. I would recommend this cleanser for sensitive skin.

this in an absolute necessity in my skin care routine, i honestly don't think i could go without it now. first of all you get such a big quantity of the product for a decent price, and it will last you such a long time ( i use everyday and has lasted me months) and still at least half full. it is a light consistency and removes all makeup and dirt. love love love
no scent

I was introduced to Cetaphil cleanser about 10 years ago when my eczema on my face was out of control and I couldnt use any other cleansers or skin care products without a nasty burning sensation.
Cetaphil is the only cleanser I can use when my skin flares up from allergies, drying heaters or air cons or stress. I find it very gentle on the skin. I do find using it lacks the sense of luxury that some other cleansers on the market can result in so keep this as a staple in my cupboard for when my skin isnt happy.
Recommended for all skin types

I have been using this cleanser for as long as i can remember. It is perfect for sensitive skin, and doesn't leave your skin feeling tight or dry. My only complaint would be that it can be a bit on the light side, and works best as step #2 in a double cleanse, and with my LUMI electric cleanser, or a clarisonic. Still, for the price point I would recommend this to anyone.

This product is recommended by dermatologists for sensitive, irritated skin and even acne-prone skin. It's very mild and gentle and is fragrance and soap-free, and does not foam. It does not really remove make-up or give you a 'clean' feeling after using. My husband used this for years and thought it was as good as it gets until he tried Dermasukin's Daily Gentle Wash, which is just as gentle, foams a little and does a better job at cleansing. Dermasukin is also cheaper at $12.99/500ml without discounts, and Australian made. Having said that, he does not have eczema or a serious skin condition, just suffers from sensitivity, redness and itchiness.

Cetaphil is a great facial wash. It's cheap and my skin always feels clean afterwards. I used this product all through my pregnancy as it it had very few chemical ingredients and was more of a natural product to use. It was gentle, effective, cheap and a product easily found on the shelf!

I would recommend this face wash for any age. Great for every day use and doesn't matter if you wear makeup or not. Still leaves your skin feeling light and clean.
