Q: How does this product differ from Cetaphil Gentle Facial Wash? Which do you recommend for Rosacea?

submitted by EGME - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi there! This is our Gentle Skin Cleanser. It is a creamy formula that is clinically proven to provide continuous hydration to protect against dryness. It's also formulated with Micellar Technology that gently yet effectively removes dirt, makeup and impurities. For Rosacea, we recommend trying our Redness Relieving Foaming Face Wash. It gently cleanses to remove dirt, impurities and excess oil without over-drying or irritating redness prone, sensitive skin. Hope this helps!

Q: Hi, is this just for the face or can it be used on the body? Instead of bar soap?

submitted by Miasmommy - 3 months ago
  • A: Hi there! While Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is primarily designed for use on the face, it can also be used on the body if desired. If you choose to use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser on your body, it's important to keep in mind that it may not be the most efficient option for larger areas. The formula is designed for gentle cleansing, and may not be as effective at removing heavy dirt, sweat, or debris from the skin as a body wash or soap. Additionally, it may not be the most cost-effective option for regular body use. Instead of using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser on your body, explore the Cetaphil range of gentle bars and body washes available. Hope this helps!

    Just to be clear, this is not soap. Some people are waiting for the suds, and they’re not coming. The point is that the cleanser has a gentle texture, so it doesn’t have beads or seeds in it to exfoliate. I like that I still feel clean after using it.

    Very hydrating

    galaxysorbet_264 - 12 days ago
    originally posted on influenster.com
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cetaphil Gentle Skin Clenaser is very hydrating and leaves the skin soft and supplements. I started using this as my nightly cleanser to remove makeup, and wake up in the morning with my skin feeling very smooth and hydrated. The consistency like a serum. The only thing thats a bit annoying is that ot doesn't foam up, and melts into skin while using, so I feel like I need to use a lot of product to make sure all my makeup is off.

    Simple gentle no frills skincare

    urbansteph_1262 - 12 days ago
    originally posted on influenster.com
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Cetaphil skin cleanser is like a staple go to item if you’re needing skincare that is gentle and not going to irritate your skin. It’s fragrance free and non comedogenic so is useful if wanting a good old fashioned cleanser without the fancy fragrance and texture. I was expecting the cleanser to pump out a little more viscous like I’ve experienced from other liquid cleansers that have a similar semi opacity however this is more liquid in that it doesn’t ‘hold’ or ‘sit’ when you pump it into your hand. It rubs on more liquidy then gel like. While this isn’t a preferred texture for myself, I do think it’s great for kids especially with eczema as it’s easy to apply. Overall a good product that does its job.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have sensitive skin and this cleanser is is my new go-to for both morning and night. It’s fragrance free which is great and also soft on my skin but effectively removes makeup and hydrates my skin. It’s affordably priced and suitable for everyday use. I like that it’s in pump top packaging ensuring I get the most from the product. I would highly recommend this cleanser.

Not the cutest packaging but does the job well and is affordable!
