Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I started using this as a substitute for dermalogica as I needed something budget friendly and someone told me about Cetaphil. I’ve been using this cleanser for two weeks now and will stick with it. I have rosacea and even after a rosacea acne breakout I used this product and it didn’t sting or dry out my skin. It leaves it really soft and doesn’t flare up my redness or my rosacea as some other products do. I find it also is great at removing my make up. Really happy I found a price friendly product that is sensitive on my skin.

Although this cleanser does not remove heavy makeup it is a great cleanser for me to use on a daily basis. Most days I only wear basic makeup and Cetaphil leaves my skin feeling soft and clean without a harsh stripped feel some cleansers do.I have fair dry skin and like gentle products best. I also like the pump action of the bottle.

After reading many trusted reviews (thanks, Beauty Review!) on this cleanser, I decided to purchase. I'd bought cleansers on and off for years but never settled on one brand in particular. But now, I think I've found my favourite!

I love the sheer quantity in the bottle, and the pump dispenser is awesome. The cleanser is very thick and a little goes a very long way. I love how there is no off-putting fragrance, and it just feels so clean and refreshing on your skin. I have quite dry skin, so after most cleansers, I'm very quick to apply moisturiser, but this never feels like it strips away all moisture, just helps set the base for good makeup application in the morning, or a good night's sleep.

I have combination skin that is sensitive and prone to eczema so it can be tricky finding a product that doesn’t irritate my skin, but can also deal with the combination of oily and dry. This product does everything I need it to without causing a reaction or irritation. My skin can sometimes “get sick of” products and will all of the sudden start reacting, but never with this product in the decade and a half I’ve been using it. I find myself always going back to this old trustworthy product!

This product is not part of my current skincare routine however I have previously used it (I think it was for around 5 months)

I think this is a great product for sensitive and dry skin as it is light, creamy and not harsh. I have friends that are currently using it and absolute love it. It does not have a strong fragrance in my opinion and I like the look of the ingredient list which has ingredients great for if you have a damaged skin barrier.

However the only reason it is not currently apart of my routine is I just find I need something a little stronger to help remove a days worth of makeup and sunscreen.

I use my regular soap/face wash in the shower, but after I pat dry- I apply this on my face and my arms as it helps to counter my skin from drying out (I have dry, keratosis-pilaris affected arms.. boo!!) This really does help make my skin feel softer and suppler.
