2.0 out of 5 stars Beware of "masking fragrance", March 20, 2007

Music lover "PJD" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar, 4.5-Ounce Bar (Pack of 6) (Health and Beauty)

I have mild rosacea, and have used this product for about 6 years. One bar lasts me about 2 years because I only use it once a day. It had been recommended by all the rosacea websites as the mildest one and until my current bar, I'd have rated it 5 stars.

However, after one week of using my new bar, my skin is itchy and irritated. Somewhere along the line they have started adding "masking fragrance." I contacted the company and they claim they have not changed the formula, but there's no way I could have been using it all these years and never noticed the perfume... it's the first thing I smell when I walk into the bathroom.

Anyway, I'm going to try the GENTLE SKIN CLEANSER which is truly fragrance free...for now. And I thought this information from the Cetaphil FAQ at their website is rather revealing:

Q. Is the Cetaphil® bar as mild as your liquid cleanser?
A. No, our bar was formulated to be milder than other bar cleansers, but it is not as mild as our liquid cleanser.

Q. What is the scent I smell in some of your lotions and creams?

A. What you smell in our lotions and creams is the normal scent of the chemicals in the formula without any masking fragrance. We are unable to mask this odor without making the formula harsher to your skin.

5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A BLESSING!!, July 10, 2006

SUFFERING FROM SEVERE DERMATITIS I WAS INSTRUCTED TO USE AB UNSCENTED SOAP AND CETAPHIL WAS RECOMMENDED BY MY DOCTOR.
I HAD BEEN USING UNSCENTED DOVE SOAP WHICH DID NOT REALLY HELP AND LEFT A FILMY EFFECT WHEN ONE STEPPED OUT OF THE SHOWER.

I TRIED A COUPLE OF SAMPLES AND IT DOES SEEM TO HELP AND APPEARS TO DININISH THE SEVERE ITCHING.

QUITE EXPENSIVE IN LOCAL STORES BUT BUYING 6-12 BARS FROM AMAZON.COM REDUCES THE PRICE, WICH IS NOT HARD TO TAKE.

SO FAR, I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT AND PLANNING TO TRY THEIR SKIN LOTION.

THIS CONDITION IS INCURABLE AND AN ITCHING MAN HAS TO REACH FOR ANY STRAWS, SO TO SPEAK.

I RECOMMEND AT LEAST GIVING THIS PRODUCT A TRY. THERE IS NOTHING
TO LOSE AND MORE TO GAIN.
