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

  • 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.

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

submitted by Miasmommy - 5 months 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!

    I wanted to try this soap and I liked it! It hydrates the skin a lot and leaves it clean and soft. If you have dry skin, you will love it! Its scent is mild and the texture is perfect; it's not light but not too thick either, it's in between, hahaha.

    Bought this sample size to check before buying full size. Just finished the bottle and I am Obsessed with this cleanser. I will definitely consider buying this cleanser. It is a really good option for sensitive skin because it is very gentle on skin. Deeply cleans the skin without leaving it dry. Its packaging is also very cute. The texture of this cleanser is like micellar milk. I personally love this cleanser. It is in cream form but don't feel so heavy and doesn't stick to skin after washing it. I recommend this product for both Dry and Oily skin.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have medium to dry skin and recently have been having more hormonal breakouts so this came at a perfect time for me as I needed to go back to basics & replenish my skin barrier. I was so pleased with both the packaging and the product itself. Texture wise it’s fine. Runny but works well. Hydrating and very sensitive friendly ingredients. No scent which is a definite plus for me. I do wish it was more of a foaming formula but a double cleanse does the same job! Thankyou

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser pump bottle was effective and had the right amount from one pump. Furthermore, the skin cleanser was really gentle on my sensitive skin. My face felt clean after the wash and did not dry out my skin. I would definitely purchase this again.

    This cleanser is such a staple in my routine, especially during the colder months when my skin leans more dry and sensitive. It’s super gentle—no harsh scents or tingling—and actually feels hydrating as I wash my face. I love that it doesn’t strip my skin or leave it feeling tight afterward. I’ve even used it a few times to take off light makeup and it held up surprisingly well. Definitely a go-to if you want something simple, effective, and kind to your skin.
