Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

I picked this up a really long time ago and thought I'd do a review on it now. This is a good basic cleanser, but it may not meet everyone's needs and wants.

This comes in a big bottle with a pump, I quite this as it always dispenses the perfect amount of product. Also, this lasts for ages as you only need a tiny amount each time and mine lasted me for a year. This is quite a runny cleanser, and is kind of a milky white colour. It doesn't have any noticeable scent which is good for people sensitive to scents. I found this cleansed my skin quite well but not like if I used an oily skin cleanser, so it worked better in winter than summer for me. I think this would work best with sensitive skin or normal skin, sometimes I need more cleansing power for my oily skin.

I would maybe buy this again, it's a good basic cleanser but it works the best for me in winter so I'm not too sure what to think about it. If you have sensitive skin give this a try though, as it's made for sensitive skin so it would probably work best.

I’ve heard so many good things about this cleanser that I was happy to get a few travel sized in a beauty bag, I was excited to try it out on my travels.

It was a great cleanser in the mornings to freshen my skin up before moisturiser and makeup, however it failed miserably at night, removing makeup. Not even double or triple cleanse helped, so I kinda started taking my makeup off with micellar water first and then use this afterwards to remove leftovers and it was ok that way.

It doesn’t lather really, but I didn’t mind as I prefer cream cleansers anyway and they don’t lather at all.

It didn’t break me out and it didn’t dry my skin out, overall it’s an ok cleanser and can be used as the second cleanser after removing makeup with another cleanser. For the price it’s great, but I wouldn’t purchase the full size as I like my cleanser to be able to remove my makeup if needed.

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.

This cleanser makes your face feel fresh and clean, real clean without drying out your skin. My daughter used it when her skin was blemish prone. It was one of the better cleansing products she’s tried. I found my skin also responded well to it.

I love using this product as a cleanser and as a moisturiser as well, that's how much I love it, I do dry skin and I use this to clean all the make up off my face... just like the moisturiser your skin feels hydrated and moisturised..

I quiet like Cetaphil. All though I never relied on it to help with acne, I did find it does a good job of making your skin feel fresh and clean, all though I found you really really have to cleanse throughly with this product.

Im not really a fan of milky cleansers but I think for its price and size, its a good deal. I personally wouldn't use it without water. I found it great for removing mascara without adding water and for overall cleansing/make up removal.

I have sensitive, oily, and acne prone skin and this cleanser was gentle on my skin but my skin still broke out and didn't feel overly clean after each wash. I need to wash twice to have that squeaky clean feeling.

It didn't make my skin feel tight or dry which is great and I would recommend it for sensitive skin but I would say it's a pretty average cleanser overall.
