Cetaphil Gentle

I have a little while using this product. I used to get many back pimples and some face ones but when I started using this in the shower I have not had one on my back. It works! Definitely a must get. Till this day I have been using it on my face and body. It works for sensitive skin and doesn’t irritate. There’s no scent which is always good.

I love how gentle this cleanser is on my sensitive skin and the creamy consistency of the product. The price is a little expensive but not bad considering the size of the bottle, 16 fluid ounces. The bottle should last a while.

I have been washing my face with this soap twice a day (or more) every day for years.It is the only soap that does not irritate my skin or dry it out.It is great and reasonably priced compared to the "upscale" brands.

I like the fact that it leaves my skin smooth and clean without drying it out. I have been using this product, the old formula, ( they have since made two formulas into one in-not sure why they did that) for over 30 years since my son was born. It was recommended by my dermatologist for my face and also for my infant son's diaper rash. It is great on sensitive skin! I highly recommend it!!

Best moisturizer for all ages, type of skin and weather. My entire family use it for Face and Body.

I was sent the wrong item and had to return it. I am still giving this vendor a 5 star because of the ongoing active communication they had with me while helping me to return this item. Also, I use Cetaphil body wash on a daily basis but not the particular item I was sent. Cetaphil is a product that works. If you have super sensitive skin, use the facial cleanser with caution. I loved it until I got a real bad allergic reaction. I don't think it was the product but my sensitive skin. I can't use anything anymore because it is getting harder to control my allergic reactions. I do however highly recommend Cetaphil products in general. The Cetaphil lotion is AMAZING by the way!

My skin was perfect, everyone applauded me, I decided to Cetaphil, thought it was just fighting without acne facial cleanser but I don't care, I'm too tired, and I don't want to experiment, and it has been a month now and I have had no breakouts on my face, just some old acne scar healing from now. Cetaphil is a really great product, my daily therapy is now as simple as washing my face in the morning and evening, after no Frost Ward, no toners or serum, wet wash, rinse and dry.Very nice, fits me well, this is good

It is because I didn't know what was in the product before I bought it. Read this: Cetaphil probably has the best PR of any facial soap. Beauty magazines gush over it as a no-frills $8 must-have. Dermatologists love to recommend it as a mild and non-irritating facial cleanser for two reasons: it doesn’t contain fragrance and, more tellingly, because MDs have a big Pharma love affair with the manufacturer, Galderma, the offspring of Nestlé and L’Oréal, which also makes acne drugs like Differin.And yet there’s nothing healthy about this face-washing prescription.Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser contains just eight ingredients: water, cetyl alcohol, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, stearyl alcohol, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben.All but the water is chemically manufactured (let’s hope), and propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and the three parabens have a seat on the dirty dozen, a list of cosmetic ingredients to avoid as potentially toxic. (which is code for Yes! they are toxic)One look at the label and you’ve got to go “Wait a minute! What?” says Spirit Demerson, who analyzes skin-care ingredients for Spirit Beauty Lounge, her online natural beauty store. “Cetaphil does not contain even one single beneficial ingredient and what it does contain is the equivalent of toxic sludge. Whether you think it’s keeping your skin healthy or not, it is absorbed into your bloodstream and research has proven almost all of the few ingredients in it are carcinogenic. I know it’s hard to imagine that washing your face can give you cancer but it’s worth consideration.”Julia March, a top NYC facialist, says that so many New Yorkers believe that Cetaphil is healthy, they tend ignore the ingredients completely. “Cetyl alcohol, an emollient used in many cosmetics, is essentially a wax,” says March. “Propylene glycol is a common humectant (meaning it brings moisture from the air to the skin), but it also enhances product and chemical penetration into the skin and blood stream. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a foaming agent, and skin and eye irritant, that disturbs the healthy lipid barrier of the skin, and parabens are a group of preservatives being phased out for potential health risks.”Given that there’s actually nothing clean about this cleanser, it’s rather amazing that millions of women think their skin will freak out if they use anything else. “It may not irritate skin very much, but it probably won’t help it much either,” says Nicole Yih, Assistant Spa Director at the Mandarin Oriental New York. That’s because there’s nothing in Cetaphil that nurtures skin. No antioxidants that help fight free radical damage; not a dribble of omega-rich plant seed oils that fortify the skin barrier; and not a drop of skin-calming botanicals.
