Only good for sensitive skin

I was given this by my doctor to help with acne but it didn't change anything.

The only good thing about it is that it's gentle but you may as well only clean your skin with water. I have sensitive skin but it only affected by a little amount of products or things I'm allergic to (obviously). I'd only recommend it if you had intensely sensitive skin and wasn't sure what causes it.

It doesn't do anything really and smells very odd like the dentist. The packaging is flat and large too.

The price overall is just a bit much for something that does nothing...

Slimy feeling

Despite all the rave reviews, I found this cleanser a bit slimy and wasn't too cleansing. My skin didn't really feel any different after using it, and sometimes felt like it didn't give it a good clean.

I'd use this if I have absolutely no cleanserse available on me, but I most likely won't use it again.

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.

Cetaphil

Unfortunately this product did not like my skin :( I have tried it twice and both times i used it I was left with a massive red rash on my face. very weird as it is usually great for sensitive skin. I think I might of been alergic to one of the foaming agents in to? who knows. But other people who have tried who have sensitive skin love it. So give it a go and see how it works out for you. But I do recommend trying it before you buy to make sure you don't have a reaction like I did.

Tips: Try out a sample before you buy the big bottle to make sure its the right product for you :)

Not Good For Oily Skin

I have oily skin, this along with its Moisturizer made my face extremely oily, no good for my skin, however my mother has dry skin and it works wonders for her.

Tips: Don't use if your skin is Oily

Not for me

My flatmates all use this cleanser, some of whom had bad acne when they were younger, and rave about how gentle it is on the skin. It personally didnt work for me though, i found that i still had break outs on it, maybe it wasnt cleaning my skin enough. It works better then i first use a solution to take my make up off and then use it afterwards to cleanse my skin however it is not a product that i would by again.

Not a bad cleanser

I don't have overly sensitive skin but have tried this twice. Once when I had a really dry rash and the doctor gave me some samples and again when my flat mate had it and raved about it. I found it was good as a cleanser, it removed my makeup well and I liked the foamy texture but it didn't do much for my dry skin. I have heard really good things about it so would probably buy it to see if it had better effects when used over a longer period of time.

High Hopes...

I bought this product with high expctations. I have heard wonderful things about it. I bought it from a pharmacy for about $19.99. I used it for about 4-5 months and didn't notice a change in my skin what so ever. I had to use a foaming cleanser before I used the cetaphil cleanser to get the dirt and leftover makeup off as cetaphil didn't cleanse my skin as well as it should...

This product is defiantly in my products I regret buying basket. I believe there are a lot of better products out there that are half the price.

Not sure about this product

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.

not what i want in a face wash

right, so i'll tell you straight out that i'm lazy when it comes to washing my face and removing makeup. i want to go from makeup to no-makeup in one step...hence the need for a good face wash. and this one doesn't do it for me. it feels like I'm "washing" my face with moisturiser. i don't have sensitive skin so i don't "need" this, and i just find it's not what i want from a face WASH =D
