Smells awful!

Gab - 21 hours ago, Verified purchaser
This has been my go-to face wash for years! I have very sensitive skin + rosacea and I have always had the best luck! However, they must have recently changed the formula because it smells SO BAD. I almost can’t use it! I’m very disappointed!!!

Gentle and Non-Irritating, But Limited Results

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a reliable option for those with sensitive skin. It’s non-irritating, free of strong fragrances, and does a decent job of cleansing without stripping moisture. The packaging is simple and functional — nothing fancy, but easy to use with a pump that dispenses the right amount of product. However, in my experience, it didn’t offer any noticeable benefits beyond basic cleansing. It didn’t help with acne or improve my skin’s overall appearance. A safe choice for minimal skincare routines, but not a game-changer.
Amazing

I’ve been using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for months now, and it’s hands-down one of the best cleansers for sensitive or dry skin. The creamy, non-foaming texture feels soft and soothing, not harsh or stripping at all. It washes away light dirt and oil without leaving that tight, stripped feeling some cleansers give. There’s practically no scent, which is a huge plus for comfort. My skin feels clean, hydrated, and calm after use—no irritation or dryness. Because it’s so mild, I use it every morning and night. Even though it isn’t strong enough to completely remove heavy makeup, it’s perfect for daily cleansing. Affordable, effective, and gentle—this one’s a staple for me.

I’d say this is effective for certain types of skin. My skin felt hydrated and moisturized but it wasn’t super effective at getting rid of my acne.

I really love this product — the ingredients feel high quality, the texture is smooth, and the packaging is very appealing. The scent is pleasant, and overall the product feels effective and enjoyable to use. For the price, it offers excellent value, which makes it even more worth recommending to everyone.
Gentle but Effective-My Go-To Daily Cleanser

I’ve been using the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for a while and it’s exactly what my normal-to-dry skin needed. It has a creamy texture that cleans without stripping or leaving that tight feeling. I like that it contains glycerin and vitamins B3 & B5, which really help my skin stay soft and hydrated. Another plus is that it’s fragrance-free and dermatologist-recommended, so it never irritates, even when my skin is a bit sensitive. The pump bottle is convenient and a little goes a long way, making it great value for the size. If you want a simple, reliable cleanser that soothes while it cleans, this is a fantastic choice. My skin feels refreshed and comfortable every time.
New formula is terrible

If I could give this a zero, I would. I have never been so disappointed in a company for changing a perfect product.The original formula gentle skin cleanser worked great, was non-irritating, and took off makeup beautifully without drying skin. I work as a dermatology physician assistant and recommended it multiple times per day. The new cleaner leaves a film, causes rashes and acne and stings the eyes. Give us a choice of the old product- the original formula was around for so many years because it was great! So sad!

It's a very good product recommended by dermatologists, which almost guarantees you not to have an allergy. Its texture is soft, non-greasy fluid. You don't need much, and you can remove all traces of dirt. Rinses off easily without leaving a greasy finish, giving you incredibly soft skin.

I have used Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser for around 5 years now, and it never fails to impress me in terms of how effectively it cleanses my skin, but maintains the skin barrier, and never causes a reaction. This product is so gentle that you can apply it to the skin, and remove it with a cotton pad - no need to use water at all! Please keep making this product - I’m not sure I could use any other facial cleanser! Definitely a “holy grail” product for me, and many other skincare lovers!
