I don't have overly sensitive skin but have tried this twice. Once when I had a really dry rash and the doctor gave me some samples and again when my flat mate had it and raved about it. I found it was good as a cleanser, it removed my makeup well and I liked the foamy texture but it didn't do much for my dry skin. I have heard really good things about it so would probably buy it to see if it had better effects when used over a longer period of time.

Reviews
Ever since I bought it a year ago, it has been a staple in my bathroom. I use it at night and it honestly, leaves my skin feeling super clean, hydrated and soft. It doesn't lather well but the results are definitely worth it!
Tips: Recommended for sensitive or acne-prone skin
I love this cleanser. It does not dry my skin, and it is a fantastic price. I bought mine a couple of years ago (I got the big 500ml bottle) and it is still going. I have had no breakouts from it and supplement with a scrub every couple of days.
I have eczma and very sensitive, dry skin. This product is suitable even for my face. In fact - my mum was recommended it by a dermatologist as a gentle, caring and effective facial cleanser, over more expensive products. I have never reacted to it and it doesn't dry out my skin. I continue to use and love it.
Tips: Replace your facial cleanser (and body wash) with this gentle formula.
This cleanser didn't seem to work on me. I found that my acne and redness didn't disappear and that it would dry out my skin really bad. After using it for about 1 month i stopped using it because i was not getting any good results. I heard from word of mouth and youtube that Cetaphyl was really good in getting your face cleared up but it dint seem to on my skin type which i would say is oily.
This made my skin break out. I have very sensitive skin but it's called 'gentle' so I thought it would be okay! It dried my skin out terribly.
This is by far one of the best cleansers I've ever used! I have very sensitive, quite dry skin so this is an amazing product for me. Its super gentle, but does the job well. Removes makeup and dirt of off my face but does not leave my skin feeling dry or tight like some others do. awesome for breakouts of acne ext.
This is a super gentle clenser and helps minimise acne, i love trying new products especially anything that would minimise my acne, however I myself have quite oily skin and it didn't help me with that issue so I stopped using it. I think it is best suited for people with normal/dry/combination skin rather than oily perhaps, but everyone is different and that is how this product suited me.
I had heard alot of talk about this product and though I would give it a try. I have dehydrated sensitive skin and I also suffer from rosacea around my nose, so this product sounded perfect for me to try!
As it doesn't have any perfumes or scents to it, it didnt aggitate my skin at all and felt gentle and soothing.
If you like cleansers that lather up than this one is not for you, it is almost a milky lotion that gently cleans your skin. I like to use this with my clarisonic after I have removed most of my make up with a wipe.
It doesn't leave your skin feeling tight or dry but leaves it feeling fresh and clean. It also lasts for ages if you get the larger sized bottle and it is quite cheap!
This is an absolute staple in my skin care routine. I have combination skin which is prone to break outs, but also gets very dry on the tops of my cheeks and on my nose. I definitely have to moisturise these areas still after using Cetaphil (as I would with any skincare product) but I can instantly feel a noticeable difference in the softness and cleanliness of my skin. My complexion is better since having started using it (around 2-3 years ago, which is a record for me with skincare), and I get fewer pimples. Love it!!
Tips: Because it's so gentle, I use a makeup remover beforehand to get rid of the bulk of my makeup, otherwise I find I have to wash my face with the cleanser several times. Not great at removing makeup, so would recommend using a makeup remover in addition.
