5.0 out of 5 stars I have been using this product for more than 5 years after it was recommended by my dermatologist
If you have sensitive skin this is a great product. I use it twice a day, every day. It is great in the morning to get a nice clean "canvass" upon which to apply your makeup. It also does a nice job removing makeup in the evening.

I love the way this product cleans my face without leaving it feeling tight and too dry they way some products can. I have...

3.0 out of 5 stars Gentle cleanser but contains paraben
It's a good cleanser if you are not wearing makeup, it doesn't really completely remove makeup or dirt. Great for morning cleansing though.

This product contains paraben, which can clog pores and cause breakout. But if you wash off the cleanser, instead of just wiping it on your face like the instructions say, I think it will be fine.

I like...

This review is from: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
If you have sensitive skin this is a great product. I use it twice a day, every day. It is great in the morning to get a nice clean "canvass" upon which to apply your makeup. It also does a nice job removing makeup in the evening.

I love the way this product cleans my face without leaving it feeling tight and too dry they way some products can. I have naturally oily skin and this product removes the surface oil and makeup and leaves my skin feeling natural yet clean.

This product has little, to no scent. As with the entire Cetaphil line this product is designed for sensitive skin and is non-comedogenic.

I would recommend this product to anyone that wants to clean their skin without removing all the protective oils from their skin. My dermatologist recommended this years ago, and I am still a happy consumer of the product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, inexpensive, gentle cleanser, August 2, 2008
This review is from: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I have dry skin that is also a little sensetive and this product really works wonders for me. I have tried the high priced department store brands like La Mer and was told this was all I could use for my dry skin, yes it worked, but it came with a huge price tag, and you got very little of it. This product is great because you get a lot for your money and it really does the job. This product is free from fragrance and essential oils ( great stuff, but causes a lot of allergies among a lot of people.) This product cleanses with out drying out the skin and lasts for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the BEST skin cleanser there is ..., December 23, 2006
This review is from: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I have been using this cleanser for over 15 years and it still is the best, gentle, never harsh, and non-drying. I admit this not for everybody, I was blessed enough by genetics(my maternal grandmother) to not have acne problems, but for people with normal to oily skin, that do not get breakouts; this is one of the best cleansers to use.

This review is from: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I have been using this for my face for over 10 years. It is very inexpensive (especially compared to other cosmetic brands) and cleans well without irritating or drying the skin. I also used it on my 3 kids. It comes in handy on the changing table, especially when the wipes were not quite "wet" enough to do the job! It is also great for any spot cleaning anywhere on the body without rinsing. It can just be wiped off without leaving any residue. It is very gentle, even for newborn's skin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent :->, June 27, 2006

This review is from: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
Cetaphil make a great line of products. Almost everyone can use them, because there is no fragrance, colour or anything else to irritate your skin. This cleanser is no exception.
It's actually got no real fragrance, but you can smell the natural smell from all the neutral ingrediants in it. It feels nice going on the skin, but if you have heavy make-up on, it's not the best remover. You should probably use this either only in the morning before applying make-up, or if you use a non-heavy make-up.
I use this often - I love how my skin doesn't feel tight or dry after using it and I lent it to a friend one time who has very sensitive skin, and she had no problems. Give it a try. It makes a cheap alternative to expensive cleansers that do either the same job or a less superior job. This is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for shaving., September 23, 2006
This review is from: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
Back in the early 90s I was going through a bad acne period. I finally visited a dermatologist, and he put me on an Accutane regimen. I had sensitive skin and a tough beard, so regular shaving cream was too harsh (especially while taking Accutane - the solid brush-on cream I was using at the time burned the edges of my lips). He recommended that I shave with Cetaphil. Years later, my skin and beard are still troublesome. Therefore, I've kept Cetaphil as a part of my shaving regimen.

Cetaphil goes on well and provides a nice lubrication for my shaver. It's not harsh or irritating, even on a freshly shaved face. However, it's kind of cold in the morning, which is a bit counter-productive after heating my face with hot water and shower steam to soften the whiskers. So I put the bottle on the tub floor while showering to heat it up with the runoff. By the time I'm done, it's warm enough for application after rubbing some around my hands for a second or two.

However, even though Cetaphil feels good and lubricates well, its consistency is a bit thin to use alone. I like a good lather, so I combine Cetaphil with Kiss My Face Moisture Shave, which was recommended to me by a woman working at GNC. They mix well together, and I get a good, non-irritating shave by using the Gillette Fusion Power razor. For post-shave comfort and to prevent breakouts, I apply a product that contains salicylic acid, such as Clean&Clear Dual-Action Oil-Free moisturizing lotion.

If you have a razor-challenging beard and skin combination like me, then make Cetaphil part of your shaving routine. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Gently effective - and NOT expensive!, January 15, 2008

This review is from: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I try to simplify my life. This product removes makeup and gently cleanses without ever feeling harsh. In a pinch, I have cleansed, removed with a warm wet washcloth, and fell into bed without further ado - and no morning repercussions! Skin is soft and smooth, but never causes irritation or breakouts. No fussing with caps: 2-3 pumps do the job.

This always makes beauty magazines "top products" lists because it's effective. No, it doesn't have extra ingredients or magical potions, but why would you wash that stuff down the drain anyway? Save your $ for treatments & proper protection! Absolutely gentle enough to use on a baby with any problem skin issues - bathing, etc. Fragrance free.

Works off everything but the MOST stubborn waterproof eye makeup. Even then, a little extra & you are fine. Great as an all purpose cleanser/makeup remover for travel.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best sensitive skin cleanser, May 17, 2008

This review is from: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I've tried so many over-the-counter products and products with bizarre ingredients. This is simply the best gentle cleanser on the market. Anytime there's a "best of" skin cleansing segment in the media, cetaphil is always included.

I have very dry skin and eczema outbreaks and this works so wonderfully. I've used proactive, clinique, kiels, and many more. This is highly recommended.
