Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)

I discovered this product years ago after my dermatologist diagnosed me with a rare kind of dermatitis that is caused by stress. The only way to cure it, he said, was to rotate off and on antibiotics and steroids for months at a time or have no stress. I did not like either of these options. I thought I could just put up with it, but it was on my chin. It was painful and looked very unhealthy. He also told me that our skin is our biggest organ and if it is not in shape, you can be predisposed to other infections. I had always just washed my face with some kind of facial soap. Usually what was on sale at the time. I had always had good skin before this and it was hard to realize that I had a big problem. I scoured the internet for a home remedy or anything that could help me. I found a chat room that was discussing the same dermatitis I had. Several people said that Cetaphil skin cleanser is the only thing that helps them. Not Cetaphil daily facial cleanser, but skin cleanser. I tried it because I was ready to be free of this painful dermatitis. After the second wash, my skin felt less painful. They also recommend a zero tolerance policy during this time. Meaning - no make up, moisturizers, etc. Only the Cetaphil. That may have been the hardest part because I need moisturizer every day. I did this for two weeks and the dermatitis was gone!!! And it has never come back as long as I use the Cetaphil every day. It returns your skin to the proper ph making it hard for your skin to develop any kind of infection. So for me, this is medicine. My new doctor did not believe me that I cured the dermatitis with skin cleanser! He just kept asking me if that was all I use. I told him what I did and to tell his other patients so they could get off the antibiotics if they wished to. Meanwhile, my skin is blemish free and pain free. And I don't worry about the rash ever coming back. Amazon has the best price too!!!

My skin on my face is better

Lovely product-the most frustrating ever dispenser!

I had extremely dry and flaky skin due to aging and tretinoin use, until this product! I’ve tried countless other face washes that claim to be hydrating, but this is the only one that truly delivers. It has a gentle foam so you know it’s really cleaning, but it’s nondrying. It’s odor free and very gentle on sensitive skin. After rinsing and drying, your skin is refreshed and hydrated with no tightness. The simple ingredients make me feel good about using it, and it’s a great value! This face wash has amazing performance: Foaming AND non drying. Give it a try and it’ll become a holy grail in your skin routine!

Friends, please don’t misjudge this product by expecting it to be Cetaphil’s regular cleanser, known as “Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser.” This product, namely “Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser,” sold by this seller is completely legit. They are two completely different products. This cleanser is meant to be opaque, whitish in color.My dermatologist recommended it to me two years ago when I unexpectedly developed rosacea on my cheeks. Prior to that, I always had normal, unproblematic, acne-free skin. I’ve been using it ever since. It is indeed gentle and soothing. I don’t use it to remove makeup. I don’t think it was made to effectively remove my makeup or my spf 50 sunscreen. That’s okay, as I use another tried and true one-step facial cleanser at night. I use this, Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, first thing in the morning, followed by a gentle exfoliator or a holy-grail toner I’m wedded to. This cleans my skin, and sets a calm clean canvas for me to then use the rest of my skincare regimen (toner, serums, moisturizer & spf). I no longer suffer from rosacea now, thanks to this (and without any Rx). I also can count on this gentle cleanser to calm my skin when I try a new product that unexpectedly irritates me.So, please don’t hate this if you expected it to be another, completely different product by Cetaphil. As this is just my experience, my opinion, I understand if this product didn’t work for you, or if it unexpectedly irritated your skin. Finally, if you’re concerned about parabens, I get it. I steer away from parabens normally. But check out how it’s listed last on this product. That’s a good thing. More importantly, look up what seasoned consumer advocate turned beauty guru and manufacturer, Paula Begoun (of Paula’s Choice), opines about parabens in skincare. See beautypedia.com.

I’ve been using this for a few years. I have adult acne and this facial wash doesn’t break me out. I have oily and dry skin. I like that’s its foam.
