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

submitted by Miasmommy - 4 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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since becoming a new mom, skin care routine has been a challenge for me everyday. I used to have multiple products to care for my skin depending on its function. But it was hard keeping the same one when I have my baby. Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser is a life saver for me cause it can do two jobs in one product. Time is saved and results can be seen and felt instantly. Good amount of cleanser comes out in one pump. Easy to use. Highly recommended!

It’s very mild and fragrance free and leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean but not irritated at all. I love how gentle it is and was comfortable to use when bathing my baby granddaughter too. I feel it’s suitable for all age groups.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser truly lives up to its name. It’s incredibly gentle yet highly effective at removing makeup, dirt, and other impurities, all while leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and perfectly hydrated. Formulated to suit all skin types, this dermatologist-tested cleanser is enriched with hydrating glycerin and skin-loving vitamins B3 and B5, which help maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier. A bonus? It’s travel-friendly too—the adjustable nozzle locks securely to prevent spills, making it an ideal choice for on-the-go skincare. Whether you're at home or away, this cleanser delivers a reliable and soothing cleanse every time.

    I’ve been using the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for a while and I’m genuinely impressed. It has a creamy, non-foaming texture that feels very gentle on the skin—perfect for sensitive skin types. After cleansing, my skin feels clean but not dry or tight, which I really appreciate. It’s also fragrance-free, which is great if you’re sensitive to scents. It works well for all skin types, especially dry or irritated skin. One downside is that it doesn’t remove makeup very well, so you’ll need a separate makeup remover if you wear cosmetics. Overall, it’s a reliable everyday cleanser at a reasonable price.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my favourite body wash for the shower! It is fragrance free and suited for sensitive skin. It is non-comedogenic and doesn’t strip my skin. I use it as part of my double cleanse in the shower before going in with a chemical exfoliant based cleanser. It is a little bit expensive but on special is a great price.

It's great for those with sensitive skin as it's ph neutral. For the price the size of the product is substantial. I used it on my body also however it's not the best for removing heaving makeup
