Not the best cleanser for my skin type
I have mixed feelings about the Cetaphil Exfoliating SA Cleanser. While I appreciate the exfoliating properties and the inclusion of salicylic acid in the formula, I found that it was a bit too harsh for my sensitive skin. It felt a bit irritated and dry after use. I also didn't notice a significant...

Smoother Skin
I usually like the vanicream cleanser but over the summer I need something with a little more oomph. Using a straight up acne cleanser daily dries out my oily skin and makes it oilier. This has been perfect for everyday use withouth overdrying and has become a staple in my skin care routine.
Skin Irritation

I have been using Cetaphil products on my face for more than twenty years. Specifically, the Gentle Skin Cleanser, Moisturizing Lotion, and SPF 15 Moisturizer. Over the past 6-8 months I've started trying some of the SA products and they all have caused irritation and breakouts. I thought this one would be different, but sadly I was wrong. I've only been using at night on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) for the last four weeks and although it started out nicely, after week three I started noticing some new breakouts. Week four, skin irritation and stinging. Sorry Cetaphil, this product is a fail.

This cleanser didn't bother my sensitive skin and I found it effective enough for my acne. It has no scent which is a plus for me, and cleanses well enough to get rid of my makeup remover. It isn't overly drying either! I can't complain.
Highly Recommend.
I rarely write reviews, but this is the best facial cleanser I have ever used. Ever. Cursed with very large, dark, stubborn nose pores and oil slick skin on my face since puberty (thanks dad) and with a couple of weeks using mainly this, my pores are smaller than a pin-head. Completely cleared out. It gently rinses away all oiliness on my skin as well, no over drying. But I feel like it may over dry if you don't have truly OILY skin type. I make sure to exfoliate really well before using this, so it's not wasted on trying to clear away a ton of dead skin and can actually get into my pores and treat them. Magical, gentle stuff for overly oily people who are on the sensitive side. Can't recommend enough.
Good enough for me

This was not bad. It wasn't as good in my opinion as the normal gentle face cleanser and I didn't notice any exfoliation happening, but overall my face still felt clean and it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. No scent. Clean and easy!
