Q: Hi, is this just for the face or can it be used on the body? Instead of bar soap?

submitted by Miasmommy - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi there! While Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is primarily designed for use on the face, it can also be used on the body if desired. If you choose to use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser on your body, it's important to keep in mind that it may not be the most efficient option for larger areas. The formula is designed for gentle cleansing, and may not be as effective at removing heavy dirt, sweat, or debris from the skin as a body wash or soap. Additionally, it may not be the most cost-effective option for regular body use. Instead of using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser on your body, explore the Cetaphil range of gentle bars and body washes available. Hope this helps!

Q: why is sodium cocoyl isethonate an ingredient in something that's supposed to be hypoallergenic when coconut is a nut that can cause an allergic reaction?

submitted by Smartykat - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi there! The hypoallergenicity clinical result comes from testing the product formulation as a whole. It is not dependent on any one ingredient. When tested, the product did not demonstrate a potential to elicit dermal irritation or induce sensitization. Should you have concerns on ingredients, we recommend consulting with a dermatologist who can give you recommendations for your unique skin concerns.

Summary of reviews

This cleanser is highly praised for its gentle formula, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It effectively cleanses without drying out the skin and is versatile enough for use on both the face and body. While it excels in maintaining skin hydration and reducing breakouts, some guests noted it struggles with removing heavy makeup. Overall, it is a reliable and affordable option for daily skincare.

    With tons of option for cleanser that are available out there, this Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser is the one and only that I reach for after all. It cleanses well while being very moisturizing, soothing and gentle. The ingredient list is very minimal and doesn’t contain fragance. Perfect for everyday use even on sensitive skin. Forever a staple in my skincare regiment!

    I have been using Cetaphil gentle face cleanser for well over 10 years and have loved it. The new formulation is causing me to have acne on my face even on my eyelids. I am in my 50s and am not acne prone. My mother is also not acne prone and is a loyal consumer as well. She is experiencing similar acne on her face. Please bring back the original formula.

    This is my everyday cleanser! I have combination skin and am prone to breakouts with harsh products. This cleanser is so gentle on the skin and never causes me breakouts or irritation like I’ve experienced with so many other products. Could not recommend more!

    This gentle skin cleanser broke me out and I almost never do. I was disappointed by that seeing it’s for sensitive skin. If you have dry & sensitive skin I suggest using another product.

    I like this cleanser, specially how gentle it is on the skin. It has a creamy texture, which makes my skin feel soft after using it and I love that it is fragrance free. Only downside for me is that it doesn’t remove make up. Since I use it almost every day, I prefer cleansers that do both. Overall it is a great cleanser!

    The packaging was clean, neat, and not extremely colorful. It was super easy to apply to my face. There was not a smell and pumped out just the right amount of face cleaner I needed to use at a time. I like this face cleaner most of all as the price was just within my budget and didn't break the bank.

    I use the cetaphil gentle skin cleanser daily. I started using it with acne medication and was very gentle but effective on my skin. It’s hydrating without leaving my skin feeling oily. I appreciate that it is unscented and that it comes in a big size to avoid frequent trips to the store.
