great inexpensive facial cleanser

by Nancy

in New Jersey on 3/7/09

Pros: Balances Skin, Clarifies Skin, Gentle, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: All Skin Types, Daily Use, Dry Skin, Sensitive Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I have very sensitive skin and found that this is perfect for my face. I was using something more expensive but this fits the bill, no extra perfumes or dyes. Considering how much you actually need to use, it lasts a long time. I use this for my face, not the actual facial cleanser so maybe that is even better!

Terrible

Cons: Dries Out Skin, Ineffective, Irritates Skin

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

I really wanted to like this considering all the good reviews but sadly it did quite a number on my forehead and made it even drier. I guess my skin doesn't agree with it. At first I thought it was working cause my skin felt soft and then a couple hours later my forehead was irritated. And now my skin is a total mess! When I put the cleanser on my face, what I thought was soothing it was actually irritating it. I think I'll try Cerave now. I've heard it's better than Cetaphil.

Pros: Balances Skin, Clarifies Skin, Deep Cleans, Gentle, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves skin feeling soft

Cons: none at all

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Daily Use, Sensitive Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I began using this product at the suggestion of my dermatologist as the expensive brand name product I'd been using began irritating my skin. When used as directed, this product gently and thorough cleans my skin, leaving it soft and smooth with no drying or redness whatsoever! I use it morning and evening and can't imagine being without it!

My daughter had very dry skin. We tried many baby care products thinking they would help...finally came across this and it's been wonderful. I don't have to use very much moisturizer afterward and her skin is so smooth. Definitely recommend.

It really is gentle.

I hate the fact that this cleanser does not lather up because when I use it, it feels like I'm putting lotion on my face and not really cleaning it. However, after using it my skin is baby soft and I haven't gotten any real breakouts since I've been using it about two weeks ago. I alternate between this product and the Ambi Skin Exfoliating Cleanser and so far so good

I have very sensitive combination skin and break out occasionally, so finding a cleanser that works and doesn't overwork is challenging. I like that this doesn't irritate my skin, but I don't feel like I get the deep down clean I want. I use it in the morning because it does work as a light moisturizer. I don't recommend it to use at night because I didn't think it really took my makeup off.

This is honestly the WORST cleanser I have ever tried. It smells gross and I used it for a month thinking it would do something for my skin but I saw NO DIFFERENCE!! Worst product ever

CETAPHIL cleanser is easy to use:

Without Water: Apply a liberal amount to the skin and rub gently. The unique, low lathering formula allows gentle, yet thorough cleansing. Remove excess with a soft cloth, leaving a thin film of CETAPHIL on the skin. The emollient quality will leave the skin soft and moist.
With Water: Apply to the skin and rub gently. Rinse.
