Q: This product has helped my daughters skin but it does feel as though it’s burning her skin even after 3 weeks of using. Can you tell me why?
submitted by Cleo - 5 years ago
A: Same thing happened to me, I just quit using it. But the other products are just fine on me.
submitted byawednesday13 - 3 years ago
A: Use a moisturizer after
submitted byJenny - 4 years ago
A: I would not recommend this scrub; too harsh and drying.
submitted byNE - 4 years ago
Q: Would you replace Cetaphil’s face cleanser with this or would you use both?
submitted by Cindy - 1 year ago
A: Hi Cindy! This scrub is gentle enough to use daily, however, a lot of people choose to use the regular cleanser daily, and the scrub every 2-3 days if their skin is more sensitive. Hope this helps!

Q: Are there micro beads in this face scrub?
submitted by - 3 years ago
A: Hi Elizabeth. Great question. This product doesn’t contain microbeads; the scrubbing particles are ultra fine bamboo. Thanks
Love this face wash. Has been my go to for years now. Love that it is gentle but gives it a soft little scrub at the same time, leaving my face feeling super refreshed every time!

I have been using this cleanser for a while now. It seems like every other cleanser either dries me out or breaks me out. I was really happy to add this to my routine!

This is a nice cleanser soap to use everyday. I keep it in my shower and use it everyday, and every time I shower. Sometimes twice a day. I like that it is gentle but it also gets all the dirt and sweat off my face.

It is extremely gentle for my sensitive skin, especially after a laser treatment I had done a few weeks back. I use it just about every day, a little goes a long way, and I very much enjoy the fragrance. It’s very subtle and lovely. I highly recommend this product.

At first, it was working pretty well. Nothing wasn’t going bad, until recently when it started burning my skin. I’m not sure what burns me, but I know that it has no place in my routine anymore.

Cerave and Cetaphil were recommend by dermatologist to compliment my current skincare regimen of retinol and antibiotics. Retinol cause peeling that I’d hope to solve with the use of this scrub. Sadly, someone decided that it was smart to add fragrance to this face wash and it burns. If you have sensitive skin or are using retinol products I don’t recommend this wash for you.

This is amazing! I like how there are still scrub beads but they are very small and gentle. I stopped using physical exfoliants for a while and I can’t remember why. My skin is so clear and smooth. This makes my face feel so clean. New fave on my shelf. Also it has a slight baby powder scent. It’s nice.

I think this is fine. It’s definitely very gentle and I haven’t had any sort of negative reaction to it. I use it every 2 or 3 days. It doesn’t clear blackheads as well as a scrub like St. Ives, but it’s much less abrasive. I hate the smell though.
