I’ve been using the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for normal to dry skin, and it’s honestly one of the mildest cleansers I’ve tried. It has a creamy, non-foaming texture that feels soothing and never leaves my skin tight or dry. I like that it’s fragrance-free and doesn’t cause any irritation, even on days when my skin feels a bit sensitive. It’s not the best at removing heavy makeup, but for everyday cleansing, it works perfectly and keeps my skin soft and hydrated. Overall, it’s a reliable, no-fuss cleanser I can use morning and night without worry.

I have super dry skin and I’m very picky about the types of face washes I use. Ever since I first tried this out I haven’t tried anything else. It’s extremely gentle on my skin type but is still effective in cleansing my face.

I’ve used this cleanser for about 5 years now and it’s absolutely amazing. It’s nice and gentle on the skin and doesn’t irritate at all, it also has no scent. I would say though, it doesn’t remove makeup too well so I would recommend using micellar water before cleansing the face with this cleanser.
Good results

I have sensitive skin and this face wash is great for days when I don’t wear makeup and just need a gentle cleanse. There’s no heavy fragrance and my skin feels clean but not as if it’s been stripped of oils. I love it.

I have extremely sensitive shin and live in a dry climate. After using very expensive cleansers and not getting any results, I decided to make a switch to Cetaphil. This cleanser has been gentle on my skin, removes make up, and doesn’t dry me out. Why spend a lot of money because of a fancy name when you can get something tried and true like Cetaphil that does a better job? I’m a convert!
Amazing

I have very sensitive skin and the gentle cleanser does what it says so it cleans my face while not irritating it and leaves it feeling soft. I love how the bottle has a pump, makes its very easy to obtain. And it is not scented with any irritating smells which is very good.

After a week with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, I’m impressed. Its silky, lotion-like texture doesn’t foam, but it cleans without stripping—perfect during a sensitive skin flare-up. The fragrance-free formula has no odd scent, just neutral and clean. I even use it without water on dry days—massage in, wipe off. Skin feels calm, never tight. Over time, I’ve seen fewer dry patches, smoother texture, and less redness. It even wears well under makeup. The simple white packaging is no-frills but sturdy, and a bottle lasts forever. Key ingredients: water, moisturizing fatty alcohols, mild SLS, and parabens for stability. Gentle, effective, and no fuss—just healthier skin.

This cleanser is super gentle and great for sensitive skin. It doesn’t foam much, but it cleans well without making your skin feel dry or tight. It’s also fragrance-free and non-irritating, which makes it perfect for everyday use. Packing is simple which makes it easy to use. Lightweight, non-greasy, and very hydrating. This moisturizer absorbs quickly and keeps skin soft all day. It works for both face and body, and it’s great for dry or sensitive skin.

The Gentle Skin Cleanser is fragrance-free, which is fantastic if you have sensitive skin. The scent is very light and clean, almost unnoticeable. Despite being super gentle, it still removes oil and makeup effectively—though it’s not the best for heavy or waterproof makeup, so pairing it with a remover helps. The texture is smooth and lightweight, making it feel soothing on the skin. The packaging is simple and practical, with a pump bottle that lets you dispense just the right amount. It has a minimal, gentle formula that includes water, cetyl alcohol, and other skin-friendly ingredients.
