Gentle but effective cleanser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A gentle cleanser that comes out like a moisturising lotion and lathers into a soft oam. Feels very protective and hydrating but cleanses well without stripping, leaving skin soft.

Excellent gentle cleanser for dry skin
I love this cleansing product. It is gentle, yet also makes your face feel really clean. I wish it were easier to find as it is often out of stock at local big box stores and pharmacies. Also I'd love it if this were packaged in a translucent bottle so ti would be easier to tell when it is running out.

Why did you cheapen a perfect formula?!?!?
Cetaphil corporate has lost its way. Cetaphil WAS my favorite drugstore skincare line - it was a line for those of us who don't like CeraVe, and used to have gentler, healing products. NOW, Cetaphil has become a CeraVe clone. This cleanser used to be the best creamy, rinse off cleanser for dry, sensitive skin. Now, it is of a different consistency and is irritating to my skin. You lost me as a customer. I am going back to Vanicream, a company which hasn't forgotten its vision and purpose.

Great for acne prone skin!
My daughters love this face wash for their acne prone skin. Been buying this for years. A little goes a long way. Never any problems with dry skin like a lot of other brands.

Absolute yes!
This product is amazing. I have been on a journey with Tretinoin and it finally has started working so I use this super gentle face cleanser and the thick Cetaphil body cream to moisturize my face and that’s it. My acne breakouts are kept at bay and I’m not dried out and flakey!

Seems to be a new formula, smells like chemicals
I used to love this cleanser for years when it was in the bottle with the blue accents—it was fragrance-free with a natural aloe-like smell from the ingredients, was moisturizing while cleansing, and I could even use it as a hand soap and body wash. It was perfect for sensitive skin and for someone with allergies to shea and fragrances. I recently went to stock up, received the new white bottles without the blue accents, and all of them smelled like a strongly chlorinated pool, made my skin itch, and gave me a headache from smelling it. I had to return them and try to find another facial cleanser to use. Not sure why Cetaphil would change a holy grail product like that. But the bottle with blue accents was perfect, while the new all white bottle is awful.

New formula, New irritation
I have been using this cleanser for years and it's been great for my sensitive, acne prone skin. BUT THEY RECENTLY CHANGED THE FORMULA and now my skin is irritated and breaking out from it. PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMULA!!! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS EXPERIENCE EITHER!!!!

What happened
My bottle expanded. I removed the pump to release the pressure. 2 days later, I found the products had spewed out all over the bottle and my basket on my counter.

Gentle and effective, but sometimes left my oily s
(I don’t have a photo because I used it last year) I tried this cleanser when I was looking for something gentle but still foamy. My skin is oily, and even though this product is more on the hydrating side, it actually worked well in terms of cleansing without being too harsh. The only thing I noticed is that sometimes after washing my face, my skin felt a bit tight—like it was slightly pulling. It didn’t happen every time, but enough for me to remember. Still, overall, it’s a good product: it foams nicely, rinses off easily, and leaves your skin feeling clean. If you’re looking for a gentle cleanser that still does the job, this is a solid option. For oily skin like mine, it can work—though I probably wouldn’t use it daily.
