Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I purchased a small bottle of this to trial, and although it seems to cleanse well, it stings my skin. Not crazy stinging, but enough that I don't feel like I want to work it in or leave it on my skin any longer than absolutely necessary. Although this stinging can be due to irritation and sensitisation from using Tretinoin, I won't be repurchasing this product for use on my face. Its fine when using it on my neck and decolletage (I use a much weaker retinol on them) and don't experience the same irritation and stinging in these areas.

I won't be repurchasing this as I need to find products that are compatible with my skin as it adapts to using Tretinoin.

My husband uses it and doesn't experience any stinging, although he says it can sometimes leave his skin feeling a little tight.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser has surprisingly become a staple in my routine, despite not having sensitive skin. Its gentle touch feels like a spa day for my face – it cleanses without any drama, leaving my skin feeling fresh and balanced. I appreciate its no-nonsense approach; it's my dependable go-to when I want a simple yet effective cleanse that doesn't mess with my skin's harmony.

How else can I describe this other than with lack luster terns of fine and ok. I was recommended Cetaphil by friends when I was struggling with acne and angry skin. And while this cleanser is gentle and didn't agitate my skin further, I also didn't really see any improvement in my acne as promised. I finished the bottle but didn't bother buying again. While the price, size and accessibility is good, I moved onto to something else looking for better results.

I use this every day and I love it! It's ultra gentle on my skin, doesn't strip it of moisture and doesn't break me out. I use this as a pre-cleanse when I've been wearing makeup, but in the morning I use it on its own. I find the combo of this plus a foaming cleanser works well in the evening to remove all my makeup and give me clean skin.

i only use a quick make up remover aka if i did my makeup really bad and just wanted to start over. the cleansing is not so good and i still break out after using it.
