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

submitted by Miasmommy - 2 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!

    This cleanser is very gentle and applies very smoothly. The ingredients in this are perfect I scanned this in the yuka app and it came back with a rating of 100/100. I would recommend if you have sensitive skin because I myself used to have a damaged skin barrier but when I started using this it got better.

    After using Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser for the past two years, I can confidently say it has become a staple in my daily skincare routine. It’s incredibly mild, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin.It is effective in removing dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping my skin of its natural moisture. The texture is smooth and creamy, and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and hydrated, never tight or dry. Over time, I’ve noticed my skin feels softer and looks more balanced. It is perfect for both morning and night cleansing.Its packaging is great, it's flip-flop cap makes dispensing product easy and mess-free. Whether you're dealing with dry, oily, or combination skin, I highly recommend Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser for a gentle, reliable, and effective skincare routine.

    I was using it for acne, I received it as a gift, I didn't know it was so good and I wasted it, then I bought it again and it's good for cleaning, not curing anything, it just keeps your face clean, you can use it to do double cleansing after your routine.

    The best cleanser for sensitive skin! It’s hard for me to find face wash that works and is gentle on my skin, this definitely sets the bar high. I can’t smell a thing when I’m washing my face, the scent is almost none. It doesn’t cost a ridiculous amount, so you’re not breaking the bank for clear skin. My face is so smooth after taking Cetaphil, I’ll never go back to my plain soap and water routine!

    I love this facial cleanser. It is so gentle that your skin doesn’t feel tight or dry after using. I also found that it helped me prevent break outs even when I only use it once a day! I don’t like a lot of scent on my face so I like that this is free of fragrance.

    Cetaphil is known for being gentle and non-irritating, making it suitable for sensitive skin. I appreciate its ability to clean the skin without stripping it of its natural oils. It's also fragrance-free, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions. Suitable for sensitive skin Reduces the risk of allergic reactions Doesn't strip the skin of its natural. Overall, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a good option for those with sensitive skin who need a gentle, non-irritating cleanser. However, those with acne-prone skin may want to explore other options .
