Q: How does this product differ from Cetaphil Gentle Facial Wash? Which do you recommend for Rosacea?

  • 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. It gently cleanses to remove dirt, impurities and excess oil without over-drying or irritating redness prone, sensitive skin. Hope this helps!

Q: Hi, is this just for the face or can it be used on the body? Instead of bar soap?

submitted by Miasmommy - 4 months ago
  • A: Hi there! While Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is primarily designed for use on the face, it can also be used on the body if desired. If you choose to use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser on your body, it's important to keep in mind that it may not be the most efficient option for larger areas. The formula is designed for gentle cleansing, and may not be as effective at removing heavy dirt, sweat, or debris from the skin as a body wash or soap. Additionally, it may not be the most cost-effective option for regular body use. Instead of using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser on your body, explore the Cetaphil range of gentle bars and body washes available. Hope this helps!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this cleanser, it was super gentle on my skin and yet my skin felt clean, refreshed and hydrated after use. I travelled with the bottle and found that I could easily click it back to close and it did not leak on the flight like I've had other pump cleansers do. Overall I thought it was great and I'd definitely repurchase this cleanser.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Given as a gift for an honest opinion. Super gentle, no scent, and it stays creamy, not foamy at all. It’s not stripping, which is nice, but if you’re after that fresh, clean feeling, this might not be the one for you. It’s great as a second cleanse, though. Honestly, it feels more hydrating than anything else, so I wouldn’t use it for makeup or SPF removal, as it doesn’t feel “clean” enough.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for a while now and honestly, it’s just one of those products that always does what it promises. It’s super gentle, doesn’t strip my skin, and leaves it feeling clean but still really soft. I love that it’s fragrance-free too, perfect for when my skin’s feeling a bit sensitive or irritated. It’s not the most exciting product on my shelf, but it’s one I always come back to because it just works.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product blew me away! As someone with sensitive skin who has never been able to solve it, this had me skeptical. I’ve ditched skincare a long time ago as I just couldn’t find one that worked for my skin. This felt so nice to put on my face, it rinsed off super well which is a win for me too. The best part? After yearsss of getting peeling/flaky skin after wearing foundation, not only did this help cleanse my skin so well I was able to wear foundation the following day too with ZERO skin issue. This hasn’t happened in 14years years! I am amazed with with this product , 5/5!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Cetaphil Cleanser was very easy on the skin. It was effective and I really felt the smoothness without the heavy feel of cream. It has a nice scent that felt easy in the nose and not heavy. The pump is easy to use. Most importantly I felt that this was a great soft and smooth cream that was an excellent fit for sensitive skin. I would highly recommend it.

It cleanses well without any irritation, and I love that it works even on sensitive skin. My face feels clean, soft, and calm after using it. Definitely a go-to for everyday use.

Have had no reaction and works effectively without all the bells and whistles like other cleansers!

I’d say it is a very gentle/ simple cleanser that can be used morning and night however for your makeup days I found it doesn’t remove makeup well even as a second cleanser.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Rating: 10/10 — A Skincare Essential! Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is truly a game-changer. I’ve tried countless face washes over the years, but nothing compares to how gentle, effective, and soothing this cleanser is. It’s perfect for all skin types — especially sensitive skin like mine. It doesn’t foam excessively or strip away natural oils, which leaves my face feeling clean, soft, and hydrated every single time. What really sets it apart is the versatility, it can even be used as a makeup remover in a pinch. No irritation, no fragrance overload, just pure, calming care. The pump bottle design is super convenient and hygienic, and a little goes a long way — so it lasts forever! Whether you’re starting a skincare routine or looking for a reliable, dermatologist-recommended product, this is an absolute must-have. My skin has never felt more balanced and happy. Highly recommend — 10/10, a staple on my shelf for life.

I recently tried the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! As someone with dry and sensitive skin, finding a gentle cleanser that doesn't strip my skin of its natural moisture has been a challenge. However, this product is a game-changer. Not only is it affordable, but it is also incredibly gentle on the skin. If you are looking for a cleanser that effectively cleanses without leaving your skin feeling tight and uncomfortable, I highly recommend giving this product a try.
