    Weak "Cleanser"

    So gentle it doesn’t cleanse. Not good for sensitive skin because it doesn’t properly wash off the grime from the day, so your skin will react to the dirtiness left behind.

    Hydrating cleanser

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would particularly like to emphasise that this cleanser did not strip my skin off my moisture. After wash, I got confused if I had already applied the moisturiser. I even wondered myself if I need to apply moisture at all. It contains excellent skin loving ingredients i.e. Glycerine, VitB3 and pro-VitB5 which helps maintain optimal skin barrier and hydration levels. After just single use, my skin appeared bright, radiant and obviously well-hydrated. I am thoroughly enjoying this cleanser in my collection.

    Great for sensitive or young skin

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cleanser is perfect for sensitive or young skin. It has a nice smooth, creamy texture and doesn’t leave any residue when washed off. Leaves the skin bright and feeling soft and moistures. Not overly thick, but not too thin either. Only need a small amount.

    Worst face wash I've ever used. the wash does not clean well at all. It also doesn't matter which makeup I use, it doesn't clean it off not even after 3 washes.

    Gentle everyday cleanser

    I enjoy this product for gentle cleansing. Easy application lathers up really well and I don’t feel my face gets tight or dry or left with a residue . I think it’s great for everyday use, but probably not for heavy make up removal. I love the no scent. If you want a gentle cleanser that gets the job done this is the one.

    Soft and gentle cleanser

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cleanser is super gentle and makes my skin feel nice and soft after using it. I like that it doesn’t foam so that it’s not too drying. Love that it is fragrance free.

    Simple, Gentle & Effective

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cleanser has become one of my everyday favourites! It’s gentle, easy to use, and leaves my skin feeling clean without stripping away moisture. I have combination skin, and it helps keep my skin feeling balanced while still removing dirt and excess oil really well. The simple fragrance-free formula makes it perfect for both morning and night use.

    The Pump Stops Working

    The cleanser is great when I can get it out of the pump but after a few days, the pump did not work correctly and gets stuck in the down position, which unfortunately makes it really difficult for me to pull up as I have Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome in my hands to my shoulders so it can take a lot of effort to get that pump up.

    Great gentle cleanser especially for mornings.

    This is a definite win! Love the formula and how it never dries the skin. Great for a morning cleanse and for repairing the skin when sensitive. Only downside is it can be a bit hard to wash off completely.

    🤩

    I just received this face wash today ! I immediately used it in the shower! I love Cetaphil products for my face because my eyes are extremely sensitive to so many chemicals and scent and Cetaphil does not irritate my eyes at all !! This face wash doesn’t lather like a traditional face wash!!

    Love this cleanser. I know it won’t irritate skin and does a nice job as a daily cleanser as part of a routine. Wish it would foam more for the clean feeling.

    Gentle everyday cleanser that feels soothing on th

    The Gentle Skin Cleanser has been really good for everyday skincare because it cleans the skin without making it feel dry or irritated afterward. The formula feels very mild and soothing, which makes it great for sensitive skin or days when my skin feels extra dry. I like that it removes dirt, oil, and light makeup while still leaving the skin soft and comfortable instead of tight. The texture is smooth and non-foaming, and it works well both in the morning and at night. It’s especially helpful during colder weather or when using stronger skincare products that can dry out the skin. Another thing I appreciate is that it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for daily use. One thing to know before buying is that people who prefer a deep foamy cleanse may find the texture lighter than expected. Overall, it’s a simple and reliable cleanser that works really well for maintaining soft, calm, and healthy-looking skin.

    The package touts the New Packaging but neglects to mention that it’s been watered down to the point of being runny. I like the old version better.

    A little too mild

    I like a lot of Cetaphil products, but this cleanser is too mild for my liking. It doesn’t make my skin feel clean and forget about it working well to remove makeup. Pros are that it is unscented and the container is convenient. Just not my cup of tea.
