  • A: Hi there! This is our Gentle Skin Cleanser. It is a creamy formula that is clinically proven to provide continuous hydration to protect against dryness. It's also formulated with Micellar Technology that gently yet effectively removes dirt, makeup and impurities. For Rosacea, we recommend trying our Redness Relieving Foaming Face Wash.

    My dermatologist recommended this for me. My skin is very sensitive and I’m goin thru peri-menopause and it helps keep my skin clear. My face is combination and it depends on the season but it works great.

    A little too mild

    I like a lot of Cetaphil products, but this cleanser is too mild for my liking. It doesn’t make my skin feel clean and forget about it working well to remove makeup. Pros are that it is unscented and the container is convenient. Just not my cup of tea.

    Love

    I love this cleanser. It is super gentle and cleans without stripping the surface of your skin. It also does a very good job at removing makeup when I am too lazy to grab a makeup wipe.

    reformulation not good for sensative skin

    Didn’t realize they reformulated and added niacinamide. My husband has super sensitive skin and we changed his body wash because we thought that was the problem. It was the cleanser.

    5/5 no better face wash

    always works for my sensitive skin, even safe for babies. gets the makeup off and hydrates skin while never stripping too much. derm approved, and cheap for the amount when u compare to luxury brands. easy to pump and refill also.

    Burning and itchy Skin

    Terrible, burning, eye swelling and itching! The new formula contains niacinimide. So many people have an allergy to this ingredient and it’s popping up in everything, The absolute opposite of gentle or for sensitive skin. Cetaphil needs to go back to the original formula.

    Soft

    No residue at all but the texture for me was a bit weird it’s a little watery. Definitely not recommended for oily skin but it’s a good every day cleanser. Definitely need something stronger for oily skin.

    So disappointed in this product

    Could not find the sensitive skin formula in any stores in my area, so last week, I purchased this one. What I surprise I received. as I put the cleanser up to my face - what a smell!!! Seriously, what has become of Cetaphil? Have been using this product for any years, after a recommendation from my dermatologist. I don't believe dermatologists will be recommending this product any longer!

    Gentle and Effective

    Very gentle and effective in washing off light makeup or sunscreen. It has a milky gel texture. My cheeks have redness and it calms the redness a little bit. I dislike stripping face cleansers and this cleanser is good for sensitive skin. Love the big bottle.
