After reading that dermatologists recommend this simple, cheap cleanser I thought it was worth a try, and it worked! It is gentle and does not flare up my acne as, as many other cleaners have. It leaves my skin feeling 'normal' and balanced. I now use this product everyday.

Reviews
Tips: If you are like me and enjoy this cleanser, then I also reccomend trying the Cetaphil moisturisers. They are also just as gentle and non-irritating.
I have really sensitive skin, and for the first time in my life had a flare up of eczema under and around my nose and on my chin. I was desperately trying anything to relieve this, it was red, itchy, painful and UGLY. I tried rosehip oil as a last result which did nothing, and then my mother suggested Cetaphil.
I was really apprehensive as it is super cheap and did not believe the 'every age, every stage, every day' slogan. How can what work for me work for a baby? I ended up buying a wee bottle at Farmers and all I can say is WOW. After the first use my skin felt soft and smooth and for once, my eczema stopped itching. I used it twice a day (along with Clarins toner and moisturiser) and within a few days the eczema cleared up and in a week was all gone. My skin was soft and smooth, and not at all dry or sensitive. I have been using this for about a month and a half now and i LOVE IT.
It does not foam but really works cleans and removes some makeup (often have to do around my eyes twice as i wear longwear makeup) and my skin does feel slightly oilier than it used to, but I have put that down to the drastic lack of harshness in my cleanser now.
Tips: Buy it from the supermarket on sale!
If you find your makeup is not coming off, cleanse again. This is gentle enough to cleanse twice without stripping your skin.
This product is amazing for sensitive skin, it didn't dry out my skin and make it flake. It also cleared up my spots on my jaw line!
I brought it from the supermarket and it's super cheap compared with everything else on the market. Absolutely love it and will continue using it!
Tips: Use it all over your body in the shower or as a facial cleanser in the mornings!
I was recommended this recently by my GP for my eczema and acne prone skin as an alternative to soap, so out I went and bought myself a bottle with very high hopes! I've been using this for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm pretty pleased at the results! It hasn't dried my skin out at all, my skin is actually feeling alot smoother and moisturised than normal which is great! I've not had to use any of my eczema cream as I've not needed to use it since starting using this cleanser :) It is abit pricier than your average soap but you only use a tiny bit every wash so it does last ages!
This product is largely unscented and very gentle on the skin. After using, your skin is left soft and very clean. I use it with warm water and once applied to wet skin, it foams up and is easy to apply to your face. I like the fact you can use it with warm water as it is a satisfying process and you feel as if your face is really clean. I would definitely recommend for all skin types
Tips: Apply warm water to skin first and then apply lotion to create a foam. Wash off with warm water until all lotion is washed away.
It did exactly what it said it would do. I started to use this when I finished using the proactive skincare product. I found that using the cetaphil, it didn't contain any soap which was good for my face as it is sensitive. It helped to moisturise my skin after using it. Compared to the proactive, this did not dry my face out out. It also helped my breakout to disappear in a week.
Would definitely use it again.
I have been using this product for about 3 years religiously. I absolutely love it! It's gentle, leaves my skin soft and clean and at the same time, it removes light makeup. It lasts me for quite a while and so is worth the money. It's not scented and leaves my face feeling fresh and light.
Tips: I use the moisturizer with it too, the combination of which always leaves my skin feeling lovely.
I have had problem skin in the past and when I bought this I was excited to give it a try but it just didn't really do anything for my skin. Yes it is a gentle formula, it didnt aggrigate my acne but it did somewhat sting my skin, and I do not usually have very sensitive skin which I thought was strange. It also didn't cleanse my face very well leaving traces of left over makeup on my skin. I'm not sure if I would recommend this product or not because for some people it seems to really work on their skin but for me, it just didn't help.
When I used to work at a pharmacy I tried a sample of it and loved it so I purchased a big bottle and it also came with a moisturiser, it is a bit pricey but it is worth it!
I liked to used it on my face and just leave it on for a few minutes then wash it off. Once you have washed it off it leaves your face feeling super clean and fresh. I would recommend this product for those who have sensitive skin, it has no fragrance and acts as a soap substitute! I love it!
Ive been using Cetaphil for 3 months now and will continue to use it probably for the rest of my life. The first time i used it i felt like my skin was cleaner, and also it actually was good at removing my makeup which was a bonus for me as now i no longer have to buy makeup remover. The only downfall with the cleanser is ive found it makes my skin quite tight after using it, im not sure if its suppose to do that or if thats how my skin reacts to the product. All in all a great product to use.
