I had previously not wanted to review this cleanser as I thought how could I possibly dislike a product so much that everyone seems to love! Being a Beauty Therapist I would never recommend this product to a client and I’m going to tell you why.
There are absolutely NO beneficial ingredients in this product. Instead there are several ingredients that have been PROVEN to be toxic to the skin. It may feel gentle on your skin but it’s not doing anyone any good to use this product. It contains no soothing ingredients, no antioxidants, nothing at all that will actually help your skin in any way, shape or form.
Even worse is that this product doesn’t actually cleanse the skin at all. It doesn’t remove stubborn makeup properly and it doesn’t break down dirt the way that a decent cleanser should. It feels awful on my skin and I couldn’t dislike it any more if I tried. There are so many better options out there for cleansing you face - you just need to do a little research and find one that works for you.
Also one other thing to mention - “dermatologist tested” means absolutely nothing. It’s a marketing gimmick! Plain and simple.
I have used cetaphil gentle skin cleanser for as long as I can remember, it is gentle and leaves my skin feeling clean, not drying at all and its great for my sensitive skin, and I don't break out any more!
Tips: It does not lather like other cleansers but still cleans extremely well!
