    Great daily staple

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this cleanser for a while now and I'm really impressed. It's incredibly gentle, which is exactly what I was looking for. My skin feels so soft and comfortable after using it, with no tightness at all. I've noticed a significant improvement in the overall appearance and feel of my complexion. It rinses off easily and doesn't leave any residue behind. This has become a staple in my daily skincare routine. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin. It truly lives up to its gentle claims.

    Fabulous cleanser at good price!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Once again cetaphil brings the goods. How does this brand make so many good products so cheap. This cleanser is so nice. Classic cetaphil clean packaging. Easy pump bottle that distributes the right amount. It comes out in a runny gel like consistency but then lathers up nicely. It doesnt have any strong scents. Doesn't stripe the skin. Just cleans well and is so gentle on my skin. No reactions at all. The size will last me ages. Will definitely buy again!

    Great value and even better texture

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My partner and I have both been using this cleanser for the last year and love it!! It’s great value for money, feels super clean, not too perfumed and is great for sensitive skin. I hate an overly foamy cleanser, and what I like about this one is that it feels more like the consistency of a watery moisturiser. Sure it still lathers, but it’s not producing a bubbly foam that’s hard to wash off. Defs recommend!

    This Cetaphil Cleanser HEALED my Skin

    I had an allergic reaction to another brand’s facial oil which significantly weakened my skin barrier. Everything I tried was irritating my face or breaking me out for months. I decided to try Cetaphil’s Gentle Cleanser (which I used years ago & stopped bec of it Parabens, now removed from the formula). Within a few days of using this cleanser, my face has started to deeply heal & come back into balance (which is where I was prior to the allergic reaction). My face is smoother, more hydrated, and clearer. I will definitely continue to use moving forward. If you are struggling with reactive, sensitive skin, I’d highly recommend this cleanser to help restore & strengthen the skin barrier.

    Great for a toddler

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An always predictable and reliable gentle cleanser. We used it on our faces mostly and on our toddler. Love the subtle scent, its consistency and the simple packaging. I hope it can come in much larger bottle sizes like 1ltr bottles as it has been quite beneficial for our toddler. It also has left her skin feeling moisturised so are not worried if we forget to moisturise her skin. The only thing I found was that it wasn't good at removing kids paint or markers from her skin. Otherwise. Would buy for an everyday body wash.

    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.
