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

submitted by Miasmommy - 24 days 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!

Q: why is sodium cocoyl isethonate an ingredient in something that's supposed to be hypoallergenic when coconut is a nut that can cause an allergic reaction?

submitted by Smartykat - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi there! The hypoallergenicity clinical result comes from testing the product formulation as a whole. It is not dependent on any one ingredient. When tested, the product did not demonstrate a potential to elicit dermal irritation or induce sensitization. Should you have concerns on ingredients, we recommend consulting with a dermatologist who can give you recommendations for your unique skin concerns.

Summary of reviews

This cleanser is highly praised for its gentle formula, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It effectively cleanses without drying out the skin and is versatile enough for use on both the face and body. While it excels in maintaining skin hydration and reducing breakouts, some guests noted it struggles with removing heavy makeup. Overall, it is a reliable and affordable option for daily skincare.

    Great price point and great overall product. I have combo skin and it leaves my skin feeling refreshed, clean, smooth and soft. No scent which I love. I appreciate the pump bottle packaging for ease of use. I will continue to buy.

    The packaging was clean, neat, and not extremely colorful. It was super easy to apply to my face. There was not a smell and pumped out just the right amount of face cleaner I needed to use at a time. I like this face cleaner most of all as the price was just within my budget and didn't break the bank.

    I use the cetaphil gentle skin cleanser daily. I started using it with acne medication and was very gentle but effective on my skin. It’s hydrating without leaving my skin feeling oily. I appreciate that it is unscented and that it comes in a big size to avoid frequent trips to the store.

    Skin doesn’t feel very clean after using this. Almost feels like I’m washing my face with lotion. Don’t love it. I’m sure it works well cause I never had issues with breakouts using it but I just didn’t feel like I had a clean face.

    I tried this gel for washing, because my unexpectedly ran out and wait for a new one was about a week, attracted by its price, which was low. It does its main function of cleansing perfectly, but not more than that, it cleanses softly. The texture is soft, transparent gel, normally foams, the aroma is not expressed, there is also vitamin B in the composition, but there are not autumn good components in the composition. Packaging with a dispenser - I like it)

    I have been using this face wash for a while and I really like it. It makes my skin feel really soft and clean. I haven’t had any issues with break outs or dryness, so if you have combination skin this should be fine. Overall it has a nice smell and isn’t very strong. Clean and pleasant.
