Great cleanser
i have always been a big fan of cetaphil products and this definitely did not disappoint me. The cleanser makes my skin so soft especially since it also exfoliates while cleansing. My skin is very sensitive and no irritation from this product! My skin doesn’t feel dry at all which is very surprising. Cetaphil is the way

Smooth and radiant results.
Love this Cetaphil cleanser! It effectively removes impurities while gently resurfacing my skin. It feels very high-quality and leaves my face feeling soft, not tight. Perfect for daily use to keep your skin looking luminous and clea

gentle exfoliating cleanser that smooths, refresh
The Cetaphil Healthy Radiance Gentle PHA Exfoliating Cleanser is perfect for a mild daily exfoliation. The texture is smooth and foams lightly, cleansing the skin without causing tightness or dryness. It rinses off easily, leaving my skin feeling fresh, soft, and balanced. I noticed a more even skin tone and smoother texture with consistent use, and it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. Overall, it’s a reliable cleanser that exfoliates gently while keeping the skin comfortable and radiant.

It’s not for me.
I used this product but it's not for my skin. My skin is dry and sensitive. This product does the complete opposite of what my skin needs. 🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤

Good for sensitive skin
Really great cleanser, really effective yet gentle on extremely sensitive skin. And fragrance free! However, my gripe with it is that it is extremely watery. Usually not a problem or big deal. However, it comes with an open/close cap at the bottom. It really should either be more viscous or remain liquid-y but in a pump situation. Great cleanser, leaves my sensitive, acne-prone, oily skin feeling deeply clean without feeling stripped of moisture

Not effective
Product is very runny and it is difficult to build up a lather per product instructions. I’ve been using it for several weeks and can’t see any noticeable difference in my skin tone or any evidence of exfoliation. Cetaphil is a trusted brand, but this product is a flop.

Watery and caused breakouts
I wanted to love it but it made my skin angry. Lots of smaller pimples and redness, and as some have mentioned, the texture of the wash is odd - very watery and will pour out if you aren't careful.

Very watery
I have very sensitive skin and this didn't irritate it at all. However, the consistency is extremely watery to the point where I thought something was wrong with the product.

Bright and Refreshed Skin
I noticed a change in my skin after only a couple uses. The liquid has a very subdued clean smell and a little goes a long way. My skin feels softer, looks healthy and bright. Very pleased with this product and will purchase the other products in this line .

Damaging to skin
Annihilated my skin barrier in one wash. I wasn't expecting a face wash to do so much damage but my face is totally red and irritated

Brighter than the sun cleanser
The cleanser has really helped with brightening my skin. The smell is not fragrancy because of its clean and effective ingredients that penetrate my pores into giving my healthier looking skin. I think I really noticed a difference about a couple weeks after I started using the product. It comes out really runny so be careful about spillage. 5 stars from me!

Just okay
Not a fan of the consistency. It is very thin and watery.

Cetaphil healthy radiance gentle exfoliating PHA cleanser
I have been using this facial cleanser for over 4 months now and I have grown to like this product so much. It is gentle on my skin, I have less breakouts and there is no irritation. What I also like is that fact that there are tiny exfoliating beads in the soap that doesn’t feel coarse on my skin. There is no scent and I got it reasonably priced while it was on sale. *** I do use the serum and moisturizing cream as well and it helps my skin so much more compared to prescription creams and soaps.

Very runny
The consistency is like a serum and it is very hard to lather. If it didn’t come sealed I would think someone added water and returned it

Allergenic ingredients
I like the Cetaphil Extra Gentle Daily Scrub, but wanted to try the PHA for improving skin texture. However, I had an allergic reaction to the Healthy Radiance Gentle PHA Exfoliating Cleanser after one single use. It is 24 hours later and my skin is still inflamed and itching. I compared the ingredients between the two formulas, and I'm not sure if it is the PHA (gluconolactone) itself or all the plant extracts in the Healthy Radiance formula that is allergenic.

Vacation insecurity
My face was looking pretty clear and on the mend for a bit, then I decided to use the exfoliator once in the shower and my face had gradually worsened over the next few days and now in absolute pain. Last night, I double cleansed with La Roche’s cleanser specific for sensitive dry skin, and the rest of my skincare routine, with barely relief. Aquaphor had to be applied overnight. I’m so upset about it since my goal was to clear up my skin for my upcoming vacation..

Gentle and effective
I love using this cleanser . I struggle with hyperpigmentation post acne flair up and I noticed using this consistently my dark spots have cleared up. The textures is more on the watery side compared to most face washes I used . I did not have any irritation or sensitivity while using the products . It doesn’t have a chemical smell which is nice . Overall I love it .
