    Greasy

    I don't have acne prone skin I just wanted something that didn't smell and this stuff makes me break out which is hard for me to do unless I use a lot of niacinamide serum and it is greasy and makes me feel like my face is dirty and I wake up with pimples because it's so greasy I like to wash my face and feel it nice and clean and dry so that I can add my own moisturizer, don't like it at all

    Mild inoffensive all over cleanser.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A mild cleanser that doesn’t have much odour but also doesn’t foam up much. Doesn’t leave a dry or oily feeling afterwards but also does take a repeat wash to feel fully like you’ve removed sunscreen for example.

    Amazing!

    This is a super good cleanser! Sometimes you do have to double cleanse especially if you wear more mascara. It’s super gentle, has no scent, and is very effective. I wouldn’t say I’m super acne prone but I do get the occasional pimple. This helps so much!

    Gentle on my face

    Gentle facial soap. Works well for sensitive skin. Most soaps dry me out to quickly. I use this daily and it is creamy and cleans my skin of makeup. Would recommend you give it a try.

    Rinses off Easily and gentle on skin

    Cetaphil is hands down my favorite Go To skin cleanser. There is very little scent, it does not foam up excessively and rinses easily. I have sensitive skin and have no issues whatsoever with this skin cleanser.

    Not harsh/doesn’t dry out the skin

    Good for sensitive skin! it didn’t leave my skin feeling overly dry, recommend as a daily cleanser. Although in the winter my eczema acts up and my skin gets super flaky and dry, it started being more drying than before so i’ve swapped to the green cleanser now and it’s great too i haven’t broken out and my skin isn’t dried out with my eczema. i recommend the green for super sensitive people like me but this works great for normal to sensitive ! xo
