Q: How does this product differ from Cetaphil Gentle Facial Wash? Which do you recommend for Rosacea?

submitted by EGME - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi there! This is our Gentle Skin Cleanser. It is a creamy formula that is clinically proven to provide continuous hydration to protect against dryness. It's also formulated with Micellar Technology that gently yet effectively removes dirt, makeup and impurities. For Rosacea, we recommend trying our Redness Relieving Foaming Face Wash. It gently cleanses to remove dirt, impurities and excess oil without over-drying or irritating redness prone, sensitive skin. Hope this helps!

    Hydration freshness

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm in love with this product! My skin feels clean and clean, the cleanser doesn't foam so I feel like I'm getting it into all the places it needs to go. Hey skin isn't getting as many breakouts and is feeling more hydrated. It rinses off with ease. The best thing is the packaging is easy to spot on the shelf.

    the WORST cleanser

    The absolute WORST cleaner I’ve ever tried in my life. It does not take any makeup off. I washed my face in the shower 3 times with this stuff, and my foundation and eyeliner were still on. So not buy if you wear makeup. My face felt even more dry after using this.

    Good for sensitive skin

    It wasn’t irritation it felt good and your face was clean. Didn’t really have a strong scent to it and I actually like the textures. I don’t know what the ingredients are to be honest with you, but this is very good for your skin, especially the lotion as well if you have eczema or any kind of skin problem It’s sensitive on the skin. It’s a good clean fresh filling.

    Great skin cleanser!

    This product is great for cleaning your face before bedtime or after taking your makeup off! Product does not cause any drying to my face and keeps it smooth and free from acne! Highly recommend this product for anyone that has sensitive skin or is on medicine for acne (which is the reason I bought it in the first place!) Product is definitely worth its value and price!

    Mid tier facial cleanser

    It’s a decent enough skin cleanser, but nothing to write home about- there are many better options at this price range. I don’t like the texture or skin feel of this product, and I feel like i have to use it twice to feel properly ‘cleaned’. On the plus side, it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry like some face washes are prone to do, and is made with clean ingredients!

    Feels fresh

    I used this cleanser for more than 10 years now. And still my skin feels so fresh after washing. Main thing is it doesn’t have any chemical, its very mild and best suitable for my skin. Its thinner and when i wash my face it doesn’t give any bubble. And its also fragrance free. And this comes with different sizes so easy to carry while travel because it comes with travel size package.

    A gentle, fragrance-free Cleanser that effectively cleans the skin while keeping it soft, hydrated and comfortable-perfect for everyday use for all type of skin

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for few days now and really like how mild and soothing it feels on my skin. The formula is lightweight, non-foaming , and fells very soothing on the skin. It effectively remove dirt without stripping the skin's natural moisture. After using it my skin feels soft and hydrated rather than tight and dry. I really like that it is fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin. The pump packaging is convenient and hygienic for daily use. Really work well for maintaining healthy balanced skin.

    A lot of people dont think this cleanser works well, but I find that its the only cleanser that cleans while also not drying out my skin. It is a generally affordable cleanser that works well.
