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

submitted by Miasmommy - 8 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!

    I’ve been using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and it has been a lifesaver for my skin. I struggle with dermatitis, and this cleanser is very moisturizing and soothing without causing any irritation. Unlike a lot of cleansers that leave my skin feeling tight or stripped, this one keeps it soft and hydrated. It calms my flare-ups and feels gentle enough for daily use. Definitely a must-have for anyone with dry, sensitive, or easily irritated skin.

    This cleanser is not something I would reach for. It does not foam up or leave you feeling clean. It is also not effective at removing any makeup. If you are looking for a simple unscented cleanser I guess this is fine.

    My skin is really really sensitive and majority of the products I use tend to burn my skin, especially around my T-Zone. However, this cleanser has been the first that doesn’t trigger my sensitive skin. I’m not that into skin care and it’s typically hard for me to continue a routine, but this cleanser is really all I use. I also have dry skin and this has definitely helped soften my skin. Overall, this is an amazing cleanser that I use daily!

    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.
