Years ago my dermatologist recommended I sue this due to my rosacea condition plus my oily, sensitive skin........this really works.

After using this product my face felt clean but was overly dried out. My face was cracking and peeling all over. I applied a thick layer of moisturizer afterwards. My nose and forehead were still dry. I dont recommend this product to people with dry skin. If might work with oily skin.

i have dry, acne prone skin. this cleanser is the first that didn't make my skin feel like sandpaper. other cleansers claim to be gentle enough for daily use, but after a week of this use they dry out my skin. this is the first thing that has really worked well, and i'm now a faithful user. i wash my face morning and night, i use this and then the toner for sensitive skin from sea breeze. i use the cetaphil facial moisturizer after those two and it has done wonders =) those three steps in that order twice a day is the best routine possible,, but adding this cleanser in swap of every other one i've tried has been magic =) thank you Jesus! good luck to everyone out there not sure if they're going to try it. i'm 17 by the way,, so this DOES work for teen skin.

THis product is really great for sensitive skin! I'm very fair-skinned and am easily irritated and get breakout from oily products. A few months ago I was having constant breakouts and couldn't figure out why my skin was so irritated. I began a new skincare regimen and totally stopped using lotions and tissues with lotion in them. I also began washing my face every morning with Cetaphil daily facial cleanser and every night with the Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub. Within a week I began seeing a change- my skin wasn't breaking out in a big embarrassing way. I really think the key is using the acne scrub at night with my Clean & Clear Persa-gel 10. In the morning I use the Cetaphil to wash it all away. It's winter and my face is usually super dry and cracking, but not with my new routine. I've only applied oil-free lotion a couple times to my face so far this winter and I've been doing this routine since November. I actually first tried the [...] version of this product and loved it so much I wanted to buy a giant bottle of it! The [...]works just as well and has a pleasant scent. I'm not a huge fan of this scent --wish they made an unscented version--and it burns my eyes a little, which is surprising with such a gentle product. If you're searching for a new daily cleanser definitely give this one a try.

I've used Cetaphil products for years, and sometimes I try other products, only to return to using Cetaphil. I use the Gentle Cleaner in the morning because it gets my skin ready for makeup application without irritating it, and I use the Daily Facial Cleanser in the evening to remove makeup, oils, and pollutants. My skin is in great shape!

I'm devoted to Cetaphil GENTLE cleanser, but accidentally got this and you know what? It's amazing! I've had stubborn acne (whiteheads) on the side of my forehead for about a couple of months now and NO amount of washing, Differin gel, and DuAC was helping, but this did. I washed my face with it at night and applied my usual acne medication over it, and the next day the pimples had drastically diminished in size!! My face does feel a little tight after I towel off, but I quickly apply a thick layer of lotion (I use Ceravae) to solve the problem. I also use my Cetaphil GENTLE cleanser every few days, so I don't dry out my skin especially since I'm located in the northeast where the winters are absolutely brutal. The smell is strong and I was a bit taken aback by it. It's a floral, pretty smell--almost like a perfume. It's not bad, but I can see how it may be a turn off to some people especially men.

I've been told to use this stuff since I was 26 and started breaking out. I'm 45 now and I finally got sick of all the blah, blah, blah about this prduct and broke down and bought it. Oh my heck! It works. My acne did not get worse, (it's not exactly gone, and I'm not sure it wil ever be), but it removes makeup, does not strip my skin and leaves it feeling like my boys hind ends when they were babies. I always thought I had to strip my skin to get it clean. I was wrong. It does take off most, but not all eye-makeup, so I have a seperate remover for that (Almay Oil Free), but if I put it on a cotton ball and rub it around my eyes it works. I hate taking off eye makeup, so this is wonderful. I use it with a soft puff, or washcloth to remove it (wet) and it makes my face feel and look wonderful. Okay, as wonderful as it gets. Go away zits! I'm about to start a mini-protest in my bathroom, complete with sgns. LOL!

I'm 41 and have tried dozens of facial cleansers over the years. My skin is oily and acne-prone. Cetaphil is by far the best cleanser I've used. Dermatologists recommend this product because it works. After washing, my skin feels soft and smooth and the light, clean scent is a bonus. My 10 year old daughter uses this as well. The pump bottle is easy to use and very convenient. It also lasts a long time. Cetaphil is a clear liquid that doesn't foam or lather but it cleanses well and rinses beautifully without leaving skin dry and tight. As others have noted on this site, pay attention to which cleanser you buy. The Daily Cleanser is totally different from the Gentle Cleanser. I've tried both and find that the Gentle Cleanser does not work for me at all. If you have oily skin, you'll probably be much happier with the Daily Cleanser. It's an excellent product.

Remove all the oil

This is a great product. I have mild to sever oily skin, and this cleanser is the best thing I have ever used. The substance is watery and does not suds up. It washes off very easily and leaves your skin feeling clean and soft. I have seen noticeable improvement in my skin in as little as 2 days. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has oily skin.
