Cetaphil

 Gentle Skin Cleanser Face Wash, For Sensitive Skin

I've been using this cleanser for almost 7 years now and I've had zero issues. It's the best cleanser for sensitive and acne prone skin. This formula is very hydrating to where your skin doesn't feel tight compared to others. I'm honestly confused about the reviews, I haven't noticed a difference. I know the daily skin cleanser is definitely harsh, but the gentle skin cleanser is not.

I am mid 30s and this new formula is making my skin produce oil and break out like I'm back in high school. I tried to power through for 2 weeks to give my skin time to adjust, but no luck. I recommend avoiding this product

I bought this after moving on from Cerave, I have combo skin and I get really oily around my nose and dry along my forehead, cheeks and chin this cleanser is the first one I've tried that hasn't left my skin feeling dry and stripped afterwards, and I've been pairing it with the 24-hour cetaphil hydrating moisturizer with hyaluronic acid and it worked for a while. HOWEVER, as someone who almost never breaks out I've noticed small bump appearing on my forehead and I've been breaking out more on my chin, I've stopped using it and have decided to move on to another cleanser so while I did love this at first, I won't be buying again. Also, while it did hydrate my skin and make it feel baby soft it hasn't made any visible difference and there are times where after I cleanse and moisturize my nose still feels oily so overall I wouldn't buy this product again. I recommend this for anyone who basically already has clear skin but just wants a gentle cleanse because this doesn't really tackle skincare concerns in my experience, it just makes the top layer of skin really soft.

I'm devastated. I used the original Cetaphil for years and years and years. It was the one cleanser I could always count on to be both effective and gentle. My skin is hypersensitive and prone to dermatitis, acne, and flushing. The new formula left me with chemical burns and acne lesions on my face. My face felt sunburnt for DAYS and I had patches of dermatitis that lasted weeks around my eyes. My hands broke into splotchy red rashes when I tried to repurpose this cleanser into a gentle hand wash. There is something incredibly wrong with this formula and I'm shocked that it hasn't been recalled at this point!!!

I am using the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser (for dry to normal skin) product in the shower as my face wash. I normally use Oil of Olay (for sensitive skin) face wash which I absolutely love, but I had a coupon and a Ulta gift/$10 gift card plus they no longer carry my Oil of Olay (for sensitive skin) face wash so I figured I would give Cetaphil a try. I like it, but I am adjusting to the consistency as the Oil of Olay is thicker (which I prefer) so it will take a little time to adjust to that difference in the Cetaphil. The pump works well on the Cetaphil so that is a definite plus (as the Oil of Olay face wash "pump" is horrible/very frustrating to deal with). So far (I have used Cetaphil a few times now), it does not seem to irritate my skin, nor cause any redness, irritation nor any itchiness. I will have to give it a little more time to fully make sure that Cetaphil is a good product for my sensitive skin.
