Cetaphil Body Wash, Acne Relief Body Wash with 2% Salicylic Acid to Eliminate Breakouts, Gently Exfoliates and Provides 24Hr Dryness Relief, 20 oz

I hated this product at first. It doesn't lather. The description is misleading in calling it a body wash. For its intended use, it kinda sucks.However, this is the lowest cost/oz for a 2% salicylic acid (SA) product that I've come across, so I tried to think of other ways of using it. Turns out...1) Makes a GREAT 1st step in a double cleanse for makeup removal. Provides gentle short-contact SA exfoliation. (It can sting around eyes so use caution).2) Makes an AMAZING leg shave cream. Same idea with gentle short-contact SA exfoliation.3) Makes a TERRIFIC foot mask. Same idea.For how well this product works for these unintended uses, at such a low price point for 2% SA, I give it 5 stars.

This cleanser is for sensitive, acne prone skin; fragrances and "lathery" chemicals can cause irritation and breakouts, which is why this cleanser doesn't have any.If it's smells medicinal, that's because it literally is(for acne), lol, but I'll take that over the grapefruit scents that smell like sour mop water. It's medicated to fight acne while still being gentle on the skin, but I don't smell much of anything with this.If you can tolerate essential oils,a couple drops of lavender and tea tree oil in this cleanser smell wonderful and they also have antibacterial properties so they can also help fight acne as well.As for the lather(or lack of), I like that it feels like a lotion instead and I mostly use this as an in-shower/bath mask for my face and body. Just slather it on(doesn't take a lot either), let sit for a couple minutes and rinse off. I then wash from the neck down with my favorite Dove Go body wash(lavender and chamomile). Then after the shower/bath, I use a thin layer of a peroxide cream on affected areas and my skin is looking and feeling great.For $10 this is a great value. If I need a moisturizer for face and body, CeraVe Lightweight lotion works great for that.Edit about a month or two later: My skin is looking great, much better than it did before I found this!

Dislike: does not lather. Greasy feeling and does not rinse off easily.Like: fragrance free, and leaves your skin feeling soft.This will function as a face wash for me because it has drawn a lot of dirt out of my pores. It is a large bottle but I feel like I have to use a bunch in order to wash my whole body. This cleanser is great for dry skin, but will not wash oil off well. In fact, it is super greasy and difficult to rinse off completely. (possibly by design) It does not lather at all. I understand some are sensitive to sls, but there are other natural lathering agents that don't irritate sensitive skin. Overall it's a good cleanser. It's just not a body wash for me.

i like this product so far.

I like the product overall and have been using it for a couple years, but the last couple shipments I got were very watered down and smell worse than usual.

Soy bien sincera y directa al dejar una opinión de un producto y éste producto es una verdadera joya, te deja la piel verdaderamente hermosa.

This is not a body wash, let alone a soap. It doesn't lather and it disappears as soon as it touches wet skin or a washcloth. It has the consistency of watered down lotion. It also smells bad for a body wash.

This is the strongest over-the-counter 2% Salicylic Acid acne wash available..Clogged skin pores are the chief reasons for acne and pimples. The agent opens pores and allows oxygen to aerate the skin..At $0.44 per ounce, it is the cheapest on the Amazon website.
