Daily routine product

I use this cleanser daily on my face. Just one pump is all it takes to have my face feeling soft, clean and moisturized. The pump makes it easy to use and mess free. I really love this product because it makes my morning routine much faster and prepares my skin for the day.

This stuff is the best!

I have tried so many creams, astringents, cleansers, and oils for acne. This is the only thing that has ever worked to keep my skin 100% clear. It is quick and doesn't take a lot of time. I highly recommend this!

This stuff is Great for all skin types. My family has dry itchy skin and we use this for all of our needs. The fragrance free is what I like the most. It cleanses well without over drying or leaving the skin feeling worse than before.

Great for my acne

In the dry winter and sometimes after using an acne treatment my skin needs extra moisture. Many non-pricey face cleansers strip my skin a bit and make it feel tight and dry, which only aggravates my acne. Cetaphil skin cleanser doesn't do that. It gently cleanses my face and leaves it feeling soft and fresh.

Very gentle on my skin!

I had extremely severe acne as a teenager, and Cetaphil Gentle Skin cleanser was one of the very few cleansers that actually worked for me. After using Cetaphil for a couple of weeks, I started to notice a difference in my skin. My irritated skin was slowly starting to calm down, and my acne was not as noticeable or severe at all. I used this product on my face for several months until it suddenly stopped working for me. I would assume that Cetaphil had changed their formula or ingredients they used. I did enjoy it while it worked though. I would probably recommend this to someone to try out if they are experiencing issues with acne. Effectiveness It was very effective for months until it stopped working for me. Ease of Application Cetaphil is very simple to use. You just wet your face with warm water, scrub the product on, and rinse. Scent Cetaphil does not really have any scent to it at all. I liked this aspect of it.

not gentle for me

I have bought this Cetaphil gentle facial cleanser before and was SO disappointed . It smelled very medicinal and was very irritating to my skin which is not particularly sensitive to other products . it actually left my face red and sore and tender to the touch. It felt like I had a sunburn after using this product ! I would say to avoid this product if you have sensitive skin as it was very harsh and detergent like - I am not sure which ingredient caused this reaction but I would certainly never recommend it or buy it again . Sadly , I wasted my money because it ended up in the trash can and it was fairly expensive . It'd odd because it claims to be fragrance free , PH balanced and recommended by dermatologists but my experience was far from favorable . I have had similar issues with other skin care line products that say they are PH balanced so not sure what the problem is but it may not work for you

What the name says...gentle

Unlike even the most gentle bars of soap like Dove, this really, truly leaves your skin soft and not tight after using it. I'm not entirely sure how clean my skin is after I use it, though. I'm not suggesting it's not clean, but this cleanser is so gentle that I wonder if it's cleaning all that good. I guess you sort of get used to that tight-after-soap feel and sort of think that something this gentle can't really be cleaning. So to trick myself into being sure, my skin is clean, is I use it as the cleanser with my skin buffer. That way it gets scrubbed in really good and I still get that soft skin after. But, during the summer, this cleanser is great, because it's light. Effectiveness As mentioned above, not sure how clean my skin is after. What it does do very well, is leave it soft and refreshed. Ease of Application Easy to use since you don't have to lather up anything. Just pump and use. Scent It has virtually no scent, which is great in my opinion. If it had a scent then it'd have extra stuff in there that I don't need to clean my skin. I don't need my face perfumed.
