    Great cleanser everything they claim but 0 lather

    4 out of 5 stars

    Bought this product myself not a sponsored or free product review. My (15yo) daughter & I (41yo) both use this, it’s a cream cleanser. In the beginning I was a little skeptical bc I usually like cleansers with a bit of lather. But was pleasantly surprised. I noticed a few reviews saying it had a smell, we both didn’t notice a smell. It didn’t dry out either of our faces, skin wasn’t oily, helped clear existing acne & didn’t have new breakouts. We both have sensitive, oily T zone, acne prone skin, my daughter has had eczema issues on her face this product didn’t give her any dry irritated skin. Used product on face, chest & upper back. I wish it lathered just a little. It does everything they claim with 1 exception no lather/foam. Which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely loved it. My whole family uses this and we haven’t had any skin concerns or breakouts since. Packaging is generous, but due to the harder plastic bottle it is hard to get the last bits when you’re nearing the end.

    I usually love Cetaphil products, but this one wasn’t it for me. It’s a cream cleanser, but it’s really watery and I have to use a lot of it. I used this for about three weeks and my breakouts actually got worse.

    Soft refreshing cleanser

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hey there, skincare enthusiasts! If you're like me and always on the hunt for that perfect product to tackle acne without wrecking your skin, you might just be intrigued by the Cetaphil Gentle Clear Acne Cleanser. I recently gave it a whirl and here's the scoop! First off, let's talk about texture and feel. This cleanser has a smooth, creamy consistency that lathers up just enough, making it feel luxurious without being heavy. It's infused with 2% salicylic acid, a reliable ally in the war against acne. Yet, it surprisingly didn’t dry out my skin—a win-win, right? What’s truly special about this cleanser is how gentle it is. Many acne products can be quite harsh, but Cetaphil really lives up to its reputation here. Even with regular use, my skin stayed calm and content, no redness or irritation in sight. The scent is light and refreshing, hinting at a squeaky-clean feeling without any overpowering fragrances - perfect for anyone sensitive to strong smells. The results? Over a couple of weeks, I noticed a definite improvement in my acne situation. Breakouts were less frequent and my skin felt smoother overall. It shines in the maintenance department too, helping prevent new blemishes from popping up. So, who should consider this? If you're battling mild to moderate acne and value a gentle approach, this might become your new go-to. However, if you’re dealing with severe acne, you might need something more potent or a visit to a dermatologist. Bottom line: Cetaphil Gentle Clear Acne Cleanser is a solid, reliable choice for anyone wanting to treat acne gently yet effectively, all while keeping skin feeling soft and hydrated. Have you tried it? What's your take? Hope this review captures the vibe you're looking for! 😊

    Not sure if I got a bad batch or what, but this is definitely not scent free. Doesn't foam up either. Works well but smells awful.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product definitely helped with my acne issue. It's not smelly or oily as most others tend to be. The best part is it's hypoallergenic which is great for someone like myself who's always finding a new allergy. I definitely recommend this product

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works so good on my skin. It helps prevent acne breakouts from coming and helps the ones that are already there. It's really effective and isn't harsh in my skin. Leaves me feeling smooth and super clean. The texture of it foams and works well on my skin it's easy to apply and its inexpensive but works like a luxury product.it minimizes appearance of my pores and keeps my skin looking good and even textured and doesn't leave it dry or dull. It's a must have.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was so excited to receive this product for GENTLE acne treatment. I am a Cetaphil lover as an esthetician and I received this just in time since I was searching for a gentle product for my husband to use! He has adapted well to the products and has easily incorporated it into his routine! (Which was super important! Men…) He has had zero sensitivity issues and has had clearer skin from his occasional congestion in his pores. Noticed black heads have been decreased and overall pore size too!
