Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Review

To the Point

I have been using the Obagi System for close to three years. I decided to try something knew and was told to use a gentle skin cleanser. I bought Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for all skin types.

A Closer View

Cetaphil advertises itself as a cleaner for every age, every stage and for every day. It claims to be a mild, non-irritating formula which softens as it cleans.

It claims to address the dryness caused by topical medications used in the treatment of acne, fine lines and wrinkles thus the reason it was recommended by my new product. I paid about $14.00 for a 16- fluid ounce plastic pump jar. That may sound like a lot but I need very little of this clear thin lotion. It washes the makeup off my skin well and afterward my skin feels soft and smooth - there is no feeling of dryness.

Other Information

Cetaphil is made in Canada and tests on animals.

On the website we read "This cleanser is gentle on your skin and sensitive to your skin's needs. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser will not strip the skin of natural protective oils or emollients, or disturb the skin's natural pH balance.... Recommended for years by dermatologists, this facial cleanser is ideal for people with special skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema because of its gentleness. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is gentle enough for children, teens and adults...."

The ingredients are Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Stearyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, and Butylparaben.

My Viewpoint

I have no doubt that Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser might be the gentlest soap on the commercial market. If you have sensitive skin I would recommend it. I have sensitive skin and have had no problems with Cetaphil. I am recommending it though I would try a non-cruelty free soap if I don't go back to Obagi.
