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

submitted by Miasmommy - 9 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!

    Honestly the best face wash I've used, works really well for my dry skin. My skin felt so clean and so soft after the first use so I can't wait to see the results after using it for a month or so. Definitely worth buying, it foams up really nicely too so you don't need to use alot each time. Love it

    Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a great value for the quality of product. Helps with my sensitive skin when having eczema but I really noticed the overall effectiveness when my older mother in law started using for dry itchy skin. Really helped relieve her skin issues. My only complaint, is that the formula is so lightweight I feel like I have to use more than maybe necessary but really a little goes a long way.

    I recently started using cetaphil gental clencer and it has been such a lovely addition to my routine. The first thing I noticed was the texture – it feels lightweight, spreads easily, and doesn’t leave any stickiness behind, which makes application super comfortable. The packaging is also really convenient and travel-friendly, and it has a clean, aesthetic look that I personally love. After using it consistently for 2 months I could see visible results: my skin felt more hydrated, soft, glowing, and I noticed an improvement in dry patches, dullness, oil control, or whichever benefit applies. What I really appreciate is that it didn’t cause any irritation or breakouts, even though I have dry skin. The formula feels gentle yet effective, and it absorbs quickly without leaving any heavy residue, which makes it perfect for both day and night use. I also love that it works well under makeup, helping my base look smoother and last longer. overall I think this product delivers on its claims and is definitely worth trying if you’re looking for something that combines quality, comfort, and visible results in your beauty routine.

    I’ve used this cleanser on and off for years and always come back to it. It’s super gentle, doesn’t strip my skin, and leaves it feeling clean but not tight or dry. I love that it has a light and non-irritating formula along with no strong scent. The pump packaging makes it easy to use, and a little goes a long way. It works well morning or night and even when my skin is sensitive or breaking out. Quality skincare at a quality price!

    I’ve been using the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and really like how simple and effective it is. The packaging with the pump makes it super easy to use, and the formula itself is fragrance-free, which I really appreciate since my skin can be sensitive. The texture is silky and lotion-like rather than foamy, so it feels hydrating and never leaves my skin tight or stripped. The ingredients like glycerin, niacinamide, and panthenol help keep my skin calm and moisturized, and it’s gentle enough for everyday use. Overall, it’s a great basic, reliable cleanser that keeps my skin soft and balanced.

    The Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion set is a reliable duo that works well for daily skincare. The cleanser has a mild, soap-free formula that removes dirt and oil without stripping the skin, leaving it soft and refreshed. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and can be used on both face and body. The moisturizing lotion complements it perfectly, providing lightweight yet lasting hydration. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel greasy, and helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier. Both products come in convenient 20 oz pump bottles, making them easy to use and long-lasting
