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

submitted by Miasmommy - 6 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!

    The formula is very lightweight and soothing it’s convenient for quick cleansing either you can use water or simply wipe out the product with cloth. Suitable for dry and eczema prone skin. It really makes a difference to my skin cleansing routine. I have dry and rough skin and it works immediately as my all dead skin cells off. The packaging is good and the price is excellent.

    Mild cleanser that is soap-free and suitable for all skin types, this removes excess oil from my skin and does not leave it feeling tight, the pump packaging is easy to use and dispense a generous amount. It’s practically scent-free which is great for those looking for perfume-free options. Generous large bottle provides fear value for money - you don’t really need to use a lot. And bonus point is it’s safe for face and body, so gentle for every day use.

    As a former esthetician I would recommend this product for someone with sensitive or normal skin. Someone with acne prone skin can still use this, I would suggest using it as a first cleanse. I let my younger kids use this since it’s very gentle and doesn’t really strip the skin. Has no scent whatsoever so there’s no fragrance that can cause irritation.

    This is a great way to start the morning, for best results wash your hands before using,a few pumps of the foam into your hand is all you need add a trickle of water and work into a laver to apply to your face. The result will be noticeable in days not months. Your skin will look as feel replenished lifting any excess oil. The product is recognised by the bright white green and blue colour. Which is also recyclable making it easier to dispose of.

    I’ve been using the Cetaphil Gentle Clear Light Cleanser for a while now and it’s been a game-changer. It’s super gentle, doesn’t strip my skin, and works well even on my acne-prone areas. The texture is lightweight and it rinses off easily without leaving residue. There’s no strong fragrance, which is a big plus for sensitive skin like mine. It cleans effectively while keeping my skin calm and hydrated. Perfect for morning and night use. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a daily cleanser that’s mild but effective—especially if you have sensitive or breakout-prone skin.
