This cleanser is slightly runny, so it is easy to use a decent amount, however the bottles are sizeable so it does last a while. It is not as gentle as a cream cleanser, as it can leave my skin feeling ever so slightly tight. It's not dry, it just feels like I definitely need to apply a moisturiser afterwards. It is a great cleanser and hasn't caused me any troubles, and definitely does its job well.

Reviews
I picked this up at a Big Bucket Sale recently for around $10 for the smallest sized bottle. I was interested in trying it as my skin has been slightly sensitive lately (my fave Antipodes cleanser was making my face sting), and because I had heard it can be beneficial for acne prone skin.
I have been using it every day in the shower and it is truly gentle on the skin. I find that I only need to use a little bit to cleanse my whole face and that it removes foundation really well. I do need to remove eye makeup separately though.
My skin feels great after using this. No stinging or dryness at all, just lovely fresh and soft feeling.
This is widely used by my dad + younger brother but I often use in the morning where I don't want to do too much of damage to my face (+ it's not like I wear makeup to the bed, perhaps just a bit oily from whatever stuff I've put in the night before). My face doesn't feel too dry after using this, even without moisturizers.
Tips: Use amount around $2 coin, not too much. I realised that they don't make too much bubbles..
I tried a sample of the cleanser and used it daily for about 3 weeks. I like that the cleanser is fragrance free, which is ideal for my sensitive skin. The cleanser feels refreshing on my skin and cleanses away make-up and dirt quite well. It was very gentle and moisturized my face. I didn't notice any improvements in my acne from using the cleanser but it didn't make my acne any worse either. I would use this again though because it was very gentle on my sensitive skin and I have no bad things to say about the cleanser.
Cetaphil is a great basic cleanser that everyone should have in the household. However I find that for my skin and breakouts I require something a little more heavy duty to properly remove all of my makeup and dirt off my face. Great to use for removing eye makeup though.
Tips: Use Cetaphil first to get rid of makeup and then follow up with a more heavy duty cleanser to really clean your skin.
Loving this product so far. The smell is very neutral - no perfumes, which is good for sensitive skin. I haven't noticed much in the sense of clearing up spots but it makes my skin feel softer
I love this product, i have sensitive skin and find it hard to find products that dont dry it out and give me red rashes but cetahpil is perfect, I use it once a day and my skin is clear and clean. it does not dry and doesnt react.
I've used this product for a while now on and off. The price isn't too bad and a little goes a long way which means it lasts for a while. It's gentle on my skin and i like the way my skin feels after i've used it. Great for those on a budget, with sensitive skin and those starting out getting into a skin routine.
I have dry acne prone sensitive skin and this cleanser is great for when my skin is getting dry from using harsh products to try clear my breakouts. It leaves my skin soft, silky and moisturized. I do find that it isn't the best to remove light makeup as it says on the bottle though. A little goes a long way and it also can be used on wet or dry skin which I guess is a bonus.
Tips: Remove your makeup before hand if it's not completely removing it before cleansing. It is super gentle so if you have really oily skin I wouldn't recommend. I also use the Skin Spa spin for perfect skin cleansing brush with this cleanser and find that it works well.
I originally bought this for my teenagers to use as they had troublesome skin. I thought I'd try it and found it really gently on my skin. I found I only needed half a pump. Didn't leave my skin craving for moisturiser and my skin felt and looked clean. I always do a test by using another cleanser straight after and then seeing if the cotton wool has dirt on it - my skin was clean! My teenagers also said they like it as well as my husband.
Initially we could only get it from the chemist so was pleased to see it available at the supermarket and slightly cheaper. The pump bottle is handy to have in the shower.
Tips: Good for all ages
