This cleanser is great for sensitive skin. It's gentle and it won't dry or disturb your skin's natural Ph balance. I would recommend it to all- though my only problem is that is doesn't remove make up very well. You will need a good make up remover to go with this product.

Reviews
I always thought I had oily skin because I had the odd occasion when I would get a whole bunch of zits! I was always using products for this but I soon realised I needed something for sensitive skin as other products would strip my skin. This cleanser feels light but does the job, my skin doesn't feel tight or dry but it doesn't feel oily either. The only thing is I need to remove makeup first as it seems to just smudge not remove makeup. I wouldn't use any other cleanser on a regular basis though as it is inexpensive and good for my skin.
I've used Cetaphil off and on for years and years. It was my fallback cleanser when I'd stressed and confused my skin by the amount of products that I'd used. It always takes my skin back to tip top condition. I find it gentle and soothing on my skin, so much so that I now keep a big bottle in my shower to wash with. I double cleanse at night, so I'll use either an oil cleanser or a balm cleanser to get rid of my makeup & then I'll use Cetaphil for the second cleanse. I also love using it with my Clarasonic. It's been a staple product for me & I can't imagine not using it.
I got this when I ran out of my environ. If I had make up on it didn't wash it off, so when I toned,my cotton pads had make up on them still. So I use only in the morning as a cleanser because it is gentle enough to not strip my skin of oil. To wash make up off I used make up remover wipes then the cetaphil gentle skin cleanser. I now get my 10 year old daughter to use as a starter to cleansing because It is so gentle.
I love cetaphil cleanser! It is definitely my all time favourite fce wash. I have suffered with acne all through my teenage years, and tried all the so called 'acne' products on the market. Because cetaphil isn't advertised as treating acne I was a bit sceptical upon using it but after a week i saw a huge improvement! My skin is now completely clear, and I wouldn't use anything else! It is also not drying on your skin so it doesn't feel like it is harming your skin. Love it!
Tips: If you use it to wash makeup off I recommend washing your face twice as it is a gental cleanser and usually doesn't get all traces of foundation off after one use
I cannot rave about this enough. It cleared up my acne so quick and just leaves my skin feeling super clean without drying it out. It is so gentle but it removes light makeup. I use my skinfood wipes and mineral oil to remove my makeup and then double cleanse with this cleanser. I just love it and it's great value for money too. I got the gentle skin cleanser but there is also one for oily skin. I have combo skin so didn't wanna get that just incase it dried out my skin. This one is perfect for dry or combo skin and it works great for my oily t zone too.
I have sensitive skin so my dermatologist recommended this product. It's not great at removing makeup, even lightly applied makeup - every time I've tried it, I'm left with a slightly greasy film, and my makeup has hardly been removed. So I've had to use a foamy cleanser first then follow it with the Cetaphil Cleanser, and that seems to work ok.
I use this cleanser at night to remove make up and cleanse before bed and I use the Oily Skin version in the shower in the morning. I find it cleans off make up fine but I rub it on for quite a while and then use a wet warm face cloth to remove it - I find it won't remove the make up as well if I just rinse off and my skin doesn't feel as clean. If I've been out and wearing heavier makeup then I sometimes will cleanse twice. It has a nice thin consistency and is easy to massage in, and I like that it doesn't really have a smell and it's pretty gentle on my sensitive skin. Definitely much better value than other more expensive cleansers that I've used in the past. Can be used on babies as well which is handy!
Tips: Use a hot/warm wet face cloth or micro fiber cloth to remove makeup instead of just rinsing off.
I use this as my everyday cleanser. Twice a day if my skin is looking like it could break out. Such a gentle cleanser and my face doesn't dry out at all. Religiously use this and will continue to. It has definitely reduced my break outs and my skin looks so much softer and more smooth.
Tips: Cleanse for as long as you can - at least a minute. This allows the product to really do it's job and makes your skin feel amazing.
This cleanser is very gentle and cleanses even the most gentle and sensitive skin!
The formula is quite thick and you can definitely feel where you're using it. However, it only removes 'light' makeup so I use a facial scrub before hand then follow up with this cleanser to further clean and soften my skin
I find it especially delicate around my eye area, and feel confident that I can use it to remove eye makeup without causing irritation. Although it doesn't remove the heaviest of eye-makeup, it definitely helps to soften it!
I also find that you can use this on your privates for a quick wash, I have never had irritation there and find it quite nice especially as it is fragrance free!
Packaging:
The packaging is quite simple, it comes in a large plastic bottle, with the green logo on the front. I find the pump easy to use, and don't get distracted by "fancy" packaging, as it doesn't need it to sell the product. I have found that soap scum can get stuck to the bottle easy and make it a little grimey! But that shows it lasts a long time! A little goes a long way.
I like to pump a few pumps into my fingertips and then massage my face with them, I also have used this on my back and chest to help with little breakouts. However, as it does not exfoliate I found that it didn't help my blackheads, and do need to follow up with an exfoliate to get the deepest cleanse.
I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a solution to their inflamed, sensitive , or acne prone skin! It's definitely worth the price for the qaulity and the amount you're getting!
