Q: Is this non-scented?

submitted by Suzanne - 7 years ago

  • A: Yes. It has a slight scent. Nothing overpowering. It is not so strong that I would return

    submitted bywhitney - 2 years ago

  • A: It's 2023 (last Q/A 3 yrs old): current label lists "masking fragrance". Tried soap bc of the Q/A responses here, and it's scented. My whole bathroom smells like that tiny bar of soap.

    submitted byBeth - 3 years ago

  • A: Hi Suzanne! Yes, this product is unscented. I hope this helps!

  • A: No it smells awful and actually makes me gag. It reminds me of cheap motel soap.

Q: Is this a baby product? Or is this for adults?

submitted by Panpa - 8 years ago

  • A: Hi, Panpa. While these cleansing bars are ideal for dry, sensitive skin, they do not specifically list safe for baby's skin. For babies, we recommend the Cetaphil Baby Soothing Bar. Hope this helps!

  • A: Just in case anyone else has that same question. The box lists "every age, every stage, every day" so it would seem anyone could use. These bars were recommended to me by my sons pediatrician when he was just a few months old due to eczema looking dry skin. He is two years old now and I still use this soap for him exclusively; If not for the cost, I would use this myself because it smells SO good and makes skin so soft.

    submitted byMandy B - 8 years ago

Q: It would appear to me that each bar is about 4.5 Oz. And if the total weight is 13.5 Oz, then there should be 3 bars in total. Please confirm that there are 3 soap bars for $9.99

submitted by Cetaphil Soap Bars - 9 years ago

  • A: Yes there are 3 soap boars :)

    submitted bymayrodriguez - 9 years ago

  • A: Yes. There are 3 bars of soap.

Q: Why does this have a very strong scent if it is supposed to be unscented?

submitted by S Crocker - 1 year ago

  • A: Hi there - our Gentle Cleansing Bar may be unscented, but is not fragrance free, as it contains masking fragrance that hides the smell of moisturizing ingredients. Please see a full list of ingredients below: Sodium Cocoyl lsethionate, Stearic Acid, Sodium Tallowate, Water, Sodium Isethionate, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Stearate, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, PEG-20, Masking Fragrance, Petrolatum, Sodium Isostearoyl Lactylate, Sucrose Cocoate, Titanium Dioxide, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate.

The best

Only soap I can use on my body and face. Extremely gentle. Great lather. Cleans well. I wish I could buy in bulk and save. It’s pretty expensive despite prices dropping slightly recently.

Scent Too Strong For Me

The bar lathers great, but I can't stand the overpowering scent. I was looking for a gentle bar for the shower since I gave up on my usual Lever 2000 when they changed the scent on that brand. The smell of the Cetaphil was so strong I took a second shower with another soap and I still could smell the Cetaphil on my skin. I expected this bar to be unscented. Thankfully I only bought a 3-pack which I had to trash...a $10 lesson in not checking reviews first.

Need a fragrance-free option

I've been using the cream cleanser for over 20 years and it's perfect. I switched to this bar soap in an effort to reduce plastic usage and because I prefer the aesthetic of bar soap in my bathroom. This soap is heavily scented, therefore I will be getting rid of it and looking for an alternative. I did not check the package before purchasing because I assumed it was fragrance free, which has always been my standard expectation of Cetaphil products marketed for sensitive skin. I assumed there would be a fragrance free version I could purchase, but that doesn't exist currently. Therefore, I will be switching brands.

Runs Out too Quickly

Good for sensitive skin. My husband and I both had onset of itchy skin as adults, this switch to this soap has helped a lot. Now if. only it didn't run out so quickly.

New favorite soap

New favorite soap, very gentle yet effectively cleans without heavy fragrances. After just one use, my skin felt clean without feeling dry. It cleansed the underarms effectively, reducing odor greatly. It is also gentle enough for the face and less irritating than others I have tried. It doesn't have fragrance but you can always use your favorite perfume etc after a shower. Highly recommend!

Super cleaning bar

It is a bar of soap for the face and body that meets my expectations, makes enough foam, does not irritate your skin, eliminates residues on your skin and does not leave dryness.

Works well with combination skin as well

Keeps my skin feeling smooth and clean. I have combination skin so I wasn’t sure if it was necessary for me to use a gentle cleanser. I noticed that it worked really well for washing off makeup and doesn’t take up much counter space! It’s especially cute on a little soap tray!

Gentle

I've used this bar when my skin was inflamed and extra sensitive. It helped not feel really tight and dry after using. I appreciate the gentle formula that rinses off easily.

Moisturizing

I love this bar, super sensitive and it’s super good for the skin. It’s very moisturizing and it doesn’t dry your skin out like other body soaps tend to do this especially good if you have sensitive skin or have any skin complications I’ve used this brand for almost 7 years now and I keep purchasing every item that I have because it’s so good

not a gentle facial bar

This isn't a gentle facial bar. It smells strongly of soap, burns eyes, and lathers heavily - all characteristics of soap. I recommend getting genuine soy-based Japanese facial bar from the iHerb website. it's 100% better and an actual facial bar. I'm surprised that Cetaphil would mislead people like this.

Very good

Great presentation; I would use it again without hesitation. It leaves the skin clean and hydrated. It rinses off easily without requiring much water. It purifies the skin. I love this product.

Cleanses well

Good bar, that lather well. I personally use it for body and face, so it's very versatile for me. It cleanses well, even oiliest and dryest spots on your face and body. Does not strip your skin, does not irritate it, does not make it feel dry or stripped. You simply feel clean and fresh. I love using bars also because paper packaging is easily recycled, and no plastic left behind.

Fragrance free cleanser for sensitive skin that ma

This is a mild, non irritating cleanser that perfectly washes the skin without stripping away its natural moisture. Because it’s formulated for sensitive skin it’s a good everyday option for people and also ways to carry anywhere. Doesn’t include harsh ingredients and makes my skin feel soft and clean.
