Q: Is this non-scented?

submitted by Suzanne - 5 years ago
  • A: Yes. It has a slight scent. Nothing overpowering. It is not so strong that I would return

    submitted bywhitney - 3 months ago
  • A: It's 2023 (last Q/A 3 yrs old): current label lists "masking fragrance". Tried soap bc of the Q/A responses here, and it's scented. My whole bathroom smells like that tiny bar of soap.

    submitted byBeth - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi Suzanne! Yes, this product is unscented. I hope this helps!

Q: Is this a baby product? Or is this for adults?

submitted by Panpa - 7 years ago
  • A: Just in case anyone else has that same question. The box lists "every age, every stage, every day" so it would seem anyone could use. These bars were recommended to me by my sons pediatrician when he was just a few months old due to eczema looking dry skin. He is two years old now and I still use this soap for him exclusively; If not for the cost, I would use this myself because it smells SO good and makes skin so soft.

    submitted byMandy B - 6 years ago
  • A: Hi, Panpa. While these cleansing bars are ideal for dry, sensitive skin, they do not specifically list safe for baby's skin. For babies, we recommend the Cetaphil Baby Soothing Bar. Hope this helps!

Q: It would appear to me that each bar is about 4.5 Oz. And if the total weight is 13.5 Oz, then there should be 3 bars in total. Please confirm that there are 3 soap bars for $9.99

submitted by Cetaphil Soap Bars - 8 years ago
  • A: Yes there are 3 soap boars :)

    submitted bymayrodriguez - 8 years ago

Q: Everyone! Does this soap bar remove caked on make-up and mascara well?

submitted by NA - 4 months ago
  • A: Hi there – great question! Our Gentle Cleansing Bar effectively washes away dirt and bacteria in just 20 seconds while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture barrier. For thorough makeup removal, we recommend starting with our Gentle Oil-Free Makeup Remover as a first cleanse. This bi-phased liquid gently dissolves even stubborn waterproof and long-wear makeup, including from the sensitive eye area. Follow up with the Gentle Cleansing Bar for a complete cleanse. We hope this helps!

    Not fragrance free.. too strong scent

    I use many cetaphil products (body lotion, body cream, gentle skin cleanser… I am very pleased with all of them… so I thought how could I go wrong with the bar soap… as soon as I opened the package the fragrance hit me… smells like cheap dollar store soap… what’s worse is the fragrance lingers on my skin… I spent a fair amount of money on this product (bought a six bar pack).. guess it’s headed for the trash… I wish the package label stated that is was scented. Very disappointing

    They have had some production issues. First the bars became bumpy. Now they are irritating to the skin and cause allergic reactions to others in the household.

    With prices skyrocketing, I was looking for a cheaper but good face wash. I decided to give this a try and I’m so happy I did. My stubborn skin never reacted to it. It makes my skin soft and smooth, and the value is so good. 3 bars for face wash only will take forever to get through. I highly recommend trying this

    Obviously by the size of the bar I have left, I’m obsessed. I have eczema outbreaks when stressed and this stuff clears up my itching almost instantly, and with constant use has had my face feeling so much better. My store has been out of the boxes for a minute (hints to the size) but it smells great and the size of the bar makes it last for quite awhile.

    Best soap bar

    My dermatologist recommended this gentle bar of soap for my acne in 2007. I was struggling with adult acne. I had tried every acne product on the market. Dermatologist told me I was over cleaning and messing up my natural oil chemistry. I was also using a wash cloth and that was too harsh. All I needed was this soap and a clean towel to dry! I lather in my hands and gently rub it into my face and neck. In the beginning I let it sit for a minute then rinse it well. Pat dry with a fresh clean towel or at that time I put paper towels in my restroom! That’s it! My skin cleared up completely with in a couple of weeks! Now I use this soap as my everyday shower soap. It’s just easier! I can’t live without this soap! It’s amazing also in cleaning my makeup brushes! I just lather them by sliding them on a new bar rinsing the make up off as I brush the soap bar. Lather real good through all the bristles and let them sit for a few minutes if they are bad. Rinse well and repeat until the lather is completely white! All the makeup is gone and my brushes are like new!

    If your skin is particularly prone to breakouts or is sensitive to soaps/body washes in general, Cetaphil's gentle cleansing line is definitely for you. The bar lathers well and is super gentle. I've never had any irritation at all from using this and know many who also swear by it.

    This is a good product for cleaving your skin and clearing up acne. It lasts a while and lathers up nicely. I have combination skin and it seemed to help and not leave my face feeling oily. The price is not bad either.

    Caused really bad allergies

    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
    Targetlover - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    So the soap is fine as far as not drying but the fragrance is awful and caused an allergy. I used one bar, then started getting the worst allergies. I did not put it together as I didn’t smell anything. It was getting worse and worse. I did 4 years of allergy shots so I know I have allergies, but now I was dependent on multiple meds to get through the day. My eyes were starting to swell shut daily and itch. It was a week after opening the second bar it dawned on me the allergies started after I bought the soap. I stopped using and immediately my stuffy nose was gone. It took about a week for my eyes to stop itching and the swelling to go down.
