Q: How does this product differ from Cetaphil Gentle Facial Wash? Which do you recommend for Rosacea?

submitted by EGME - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi there! This is our Gentle Skin Cleanser. It is a creamy formula that is clinically proven to provide continuous hydration to protect against dryness. It's also formulated with Micellar Technology that gently yet effectively removes dirt, makeup and impurities. For Rosacea, we recommend trying our Redness Relieving Foaming Face Wash. It gently cleanses to remove dirt, impurities and excess oil without over-drying or irritating redness prone, sensitive skin. Hope this helps!

    Go to cleanser!

    This is my go to cleanser! I struggle with my skin quite a lot, it’s sensitive and can break out with any product - this is my safe bet, it glides on the skin and keeps my skin so clean! Use it morning and night.

    Not for me

    I didn’t like this creamy texture cleanser. It leaves my skin feeling oily. I don’t feel like it’s removing anything. I prefer cream to foam cleansers.

    Game changer cleanser!

    This cleanser has been a surprise. I have oily to combination skin and I've always used cleansers that would be a bit harsh because I thought I needed those to deep clean, but this gentle cleanser has been a game changer. It doesn't make a foam, it feels more like a cream but it cleans the skin really well without taking all the life out of your face. It doesn't leave any residue. The price value for this huge bottle is amazing. This is my go to, ever since starting with tretinoin. I would definitely recommend it!

    Gentle cleanser

    Certain is the top most dermatological choice for a face wash. Any type of skin can use it. I tend to have breakouts around my chin from toothpaste. Using certain keeps it at bay , freshens my skin and doesn’t dry it out.

    My skin can be quite sensitive, so being able to find a product that I can trust is a big win for me.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this product consistently, I've found my skin to be more hydrated and less prone to irritation. I cleanse twice daily, and find that it helps to clear my skin without any scrubbing. My skin can be quite sensitive, so being able to find a product that I can trust is a big win for me.

    Incredible for sensitive skin dealing with acne sc

    I use this cleanser every day, and it does exactly what I want from a daily face wash. It's gentle, doesn't irritate my skin, and leaves my face feeling clean without drying it out. Simple, reliable, and effective I'll definitely keep using it. I'm also a big fan of the muted fragrance/scent used.

    Perfect cleanser

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Cetaphil. The bottle is great if packing as there is no cap, only turning the pump so no spillage or breakages. Cleans really well and never leaves any irritation.
