    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

    Hydrating but watery

    Love this product! It’s very hydrating and I love that it doesn’t make my skin dry or peel. My one complaint is that it is kind of on the thin side and watery. I like thick cleansers and this one definitely is on the thin side

    Great for Dry Skin

    This cleanser is a creamy consistency which is different from some of the other ones I’ve used in the past. But it’s perfect for my skin and doesn’t leave it feeling dry afterwards. I use this day and night and it even works for my sister who has acne prone skin.

    Gentle but Effective face wash!!

    I have been buying this face wash for several years, its so creamy and really gentle. One of the few face washes I can use that wont break out my extremely sensitive skin! I will keep buying as long as they keep making it, I definitely recommend especially for reactive, Eczema or Rosacea prone skin!!

    Doesn’t clean skin

    This is one of the cleansers that didn’t really clean or do any good things for my skin. this caused my skin to have more buildup and the texture was kind of slimy. the cleanser overall did cause me to have forehead bumps. I personally think it wasn’t for my skin but for other this might work as I also do have dry skin with slight oily combination.

    Gentle and good for whole family

    We keep one in each bathroom. It is multi purpose so can be used on face and body. I have used for my toddler with no problems. It seems like 2x 20oz bottles last longer than I thought they would in our household of 4.

    Must have if you want plump, hydrated skin

    Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean, soft, and well hydrated throughout the day without stripping away the natural moisture, and oils in my skin. What makes this cleanser even better is the fragrance free formula, which works well with my sensitive skin type. The cleansing power is effective and again keeps my skin hydrated. I have been using this product for many years with no complaints.

    Super gentle and great for sensitive skin. I’d love something more hydrating but overall it’s very good. The scent is mild and Cetaphil is such a reliable brand to purchase from for sensitive skin.

    Best Gentle Cleanser

    I have been using the same skin cleanser for years. I always get compliments on how smooth my skin looks.. I love that it has no smell to it and it doesn’t irritate my skin so I can use it every day. This large bottle last a long time so it was definitely worth the money..

    Dermatologist approved

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's very gentle and cleans the skin without removing natural oils leaving the skin to feel soft and flawless. Acne prone skin has less chance for irritation. Oily skin doesn't need to over produce in compensation for a more foaming cleanser, keeping skin dry but hydrated. I really like the cetaphil because of its ph level!

    Ideal for cleansing the skin without damaging it.

    It is an excellent quality product for treating sensitive skin. It hydrates the skin without drying it out or altering its pH. It protects against dryness, irritation, roughness, and tightness while cleansing.

    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!
