[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cleanser was good, my skin felt clean afterwards and not overly dry. No noticeable differences from my current cleanser but does the job to get clean skin.
Fragrance free and very soothing!

I have tried lots of expensive cleansers in my time working for a dermatologist. This one always wins out. I have used this consistently for almost 10 years and have no complaints. Fair price point, gentle formula and great results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a no-fuss, reliable staple that’s stood the test of time—and for good reason. Its mild, soap-free formula cleanses without stripping the skin, making it ideal for sensitive, dry, or compromised skin barriers. It contains minimal ingredients and skips the harsh chemicals and fragrances that often irritate reactive skin, which is a huge plus if you're ingredient-conscious. The texture is silky and lotion-like, and it can be used with or without water, making it super gentle and versatile. It doesn’t foam (which might be different if you’re used to suds), but it leaves skin feeling clean, calm, and hydrated. It’s non-comedogenic, pH-balanced, and a safe bet for anyone wanting to simplify their skincare without sacrificing results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used cetaphil products before but i only used the famius ones and was scared to get any other. I got to try this and i was amazed how good of a cleanser cetaphil gentle cleanser is. My skin does not feel stripped and also, the products gets off my face very easily and double cleansing is not necessary. It feels like a very clean product and i have not fave any acne while using this on my acne prone skin which is a very big plus point for me.

It was my go to cleanser until my last purchase April 2025. Im not sure if it’s a different formula, the bottle does say new look but it does feel different.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have quite sensitive skin and react to many products, but this Cetaphil cleanser is so gentle and has not caused my skin any irritation. The product feels nice on the skin and isn't heavily fragranced. I would definitely purchase again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This face wash feels nice while washing, however it is not suitable for my sensitive skin. Unfortunately it makes my face very red and leaves me feeling very dry. I have used it multiple times and have had the same result every time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pleasantly surprised! It does not have a foaming bubbly texture which I really love!! It does not over strip the skin. I was wildy surprised when you could use it with or without water, probably making it a good choice if you ever go camping as well. Fragrance free which is ideal for a good cleanser. My photos show the texture when dry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t mind the product in terms of it feels and smells nice and doesn’t dry out my skin. However, I don’t feel it is the best for cleansing as it hasn’t seemed to do anything for reducing pimples.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is very mild and works well for my sensitive skin. It cleans my face without making it dry or tight. The texture is smooth and feels soft when applied. It doesn’t have a strong smell, which I like. The pump bottle is easy to use and keeps everything clean. I also like that the ingredients are simple and safe for everyday use. It’s a great choice if you want a cleanser that’s gentle but still does the job.
Safe to use on eczema!

There is no scent to this, and the texture is nice! I have extremely sensitive skin and this would not break me out. I’ve used this for years! I also like the fact that this comes in travel sizes! This does not clear up any breakouts I have but it does keep it from getting worse!
