    submitted byKD - 8 years ago
  • A: I have heard that the Cetaphil has an additional ingredient that isn't very good for your skin

    submitted byHP - 8 years ago
  • A: Getting much better performance from CeraVe than Cetaphil on my oily problematic skin. It seems to have dialed back oiliness, without producing any problems, suds up better, works better taking my makeup off also.

    Fresh, clean and soft

    It is one of the products I love most for my facial cleansing. It leaves your skin soft and super clean. The gel is clear and makes a lot of foam. Its texture is fine, so it does not feel heavy when it comes to applying. The skin feels super fresh. I enjoy using it every day.

    This is a very nice drug store face wash, it works just the same as the higher end brand. It does dry out your skin and lather well. One bottle lasted me almost a year.

    It is gentle in the skin and fragrance free.

    The consistency of this facewash was very gel like. At first it felt like the other CeraVe facial cleansers that I have used that do not lather. This one had a lather when I started to rinse it. Maybe all the extra water helped. There was no scent and it seemed less drying than other washes I use.
