My dermatologist recommended this product to me years ago when I had acne. Even after my acne has considerably cleared I have continued to use this product and I find it prevents breakouts. Although this product does dry my skin out a little, using with a moisturiser combats this issue. This is a great cleanser for sensitive skin and does not sting which I find some other cleansers do.

Incredibly drying
This cleanser was so incredibly drying! It has a nice amount of foam and lather but after rinsing it off my skin was very tight. After a less then a month of continuous use once a day I noticed severe dry patches on my nose, cheeks and chin. I can infact say it does a good job cleansing but also stripping your face of all natural oils. My skin slowly recovered after I stopped using the cleanser.
Tips: If you have dry skin don't use it in winter or at all

Gentle but icky
Firstly, the big, pharmaceutical-looking bottle won't win any beauty awards, but it's perfectly practical and I do like a pump dispenser.
It's fragrance-free, and quite a liquid consistency, and it's very, very gentle on the skin and eyes. No problems there at all. I think it also does a pretty good job of cleaning off my light makeup and the dirt of the day. However, I hate the way my skin feels afterwards. It doesn't FEEL clean. It's like there's a slimy film over my face and I want to wash it all over again.
My skin's dry and sensitive, and I guess technically Cetaphil is doing what it says it'll do, but I end up using loads more product than I should, trying to get my face to feel properly clean, and I find the end result really unpleasant. So, yes, I'd recommend it to a sensitive-skinned friend who might like the feel of a protective film on her face after washing, and I'd say it's good value at $17 per 500 ml, but I won't be repurchasing.
Tips: Don't keep applying more product and doing repeat rinsing to try and get that really clean feeling - it won't work!

Gentle on the skin, could smell nicer
It was recommended by my dermatologist after coming to her about my very dry skin. It does the job, it leaves your skin soft after and not tight as I would usually with regular facial cleansers.Don't except too much though - it is a cleanser so it will not treat your dry skin. It could also smell better, but I am growing to like it because it makes me appreciate that it is more natural and has less fragrance/chemicals in it.

Skincare must have
No-fail cleanser to incorporate into your skin care routine. This cleanses the face without making it feel stripped. The texture is different than a regular cleanser. This does not foam, I would recommend to use it on damp no makeup skin and wash as normal.

Best Skin Cleanser for teens
My son struggled with acne and many products would dry out his skin while not sorting it. This cleanser seems to be the most gentle and is so economical too!

Great for Sensitive Skin
I recently had an acne breakout which I couldn't shake, so I figured the best thing to do was to go back to basics. This is the cleanser I'll always go back to if I need to reset my skin. It's super gentle and makes your skin feel so clean after. There are no perfumes to irritate my skin and doesn't feel too drying. I would recommend this for people with stubborn breakouts.
Tips: If you're wanting something a little more abrasive, this is great to use with a Foreo or facial brush to exfoliate your skin gently.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
I received a sample pack during training and only used it as a cleanser before using it with a lactic acid cleanser. I did not like the product only because my skin did not feel clean afterward. It also does not foam up which I already knew. My skin is oily. I would recommend it to someone who has sensitive skin as it is very very gentle.

Super easy to incorporate into routine
I have used this so many times over the years. It was first offered to me when I had problematic skin around exam time and I would break out at the most unexpected times. I was so relieved when this worked and it did not have a fragrance, did not make my skin sensitive, did not leave me with redness, and it did what it said it would - which was to cleanse my skin. Although the consistency of the product was a little strange at first, it wasn't long before you get used to it. This sits in the top 10 of my skin care routine.
Tips: I love using this in the shower, part way through my shower when I feel like the heat of the water has opened up my pores. It is so gentle that the heat from the shower does not cause any issues for me at all.

This is a good product for younger skin that is just breaking out. When I was younger I used to use this all the time. Never had problem skin.
