Despite being a gentle cleanser, the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser contains sodium lauryl sulfate - one of the harshest surfactants around. If you're someone who is concerned about parabens, it also has 3 of the parabens on the "dirty dozen" list.
It doesn't clean off any make up or sunscreen. It feels gentle when I use it but my skin gets worse if I try to use it long term. It also leaves a filmy residue on my face.
There are much better options out there for cleansers that don't have such harmful ingredients and do a much better job cleaning your face.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. If you have extremely sensitive skin, you're probably better off using water.
I don't like it very much i felt it had a slimy texture to it and didn't find it foamed up more just smearing it over my face it didn't really take my make up off very well.
It Doesn't have much of a smell to it, when I haven't had makeup on it has left my skin feeling cleaner but slightly tighter feeling.
All in all I'm not a fan but I'm sure the kids will end up using the rest of it when I'm not looking. I think because of the packaging and price I think it would be a good family face wash if you had younger ones.wantkng to get into skin care
