For those with very sensitive skin and allergies to perfumes and other common additives in facial cleansers, I would imagine that the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) would be a necessity. In my case, I don't suffer from any such sensitivity. I just like to use a variety of cleansers so that I'm not always bombarding my skin with the harsher ones.

I had a great experience with the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, 16.0 -Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2), which is a great product for daily cleansing of your skin. While the daily cleanser has more of a *cleansing* action, the gentle cleanser is more of a *moisturizing* cleanser. It is opaque and feels more like lotion. In fact it doesn't even really *foam up* at all but still cleans your skin gently without stripping away all the natural oils.

And yes it's true there are other uses:
1) Obviously it's an ideal makeup remover for women
2) Yes you can shave with it, but I actually like to use a soap that foams up a little for that
3) You may be able to use your moisturizer less because this really does moisturize your skin great

These packages from Amazon are a great value too. These 16 ounce bottles are BIG and very convenient due to the built in pump. I have found that one of these bottles will easily last me 6 months using it 3 or 4 days a week. I like to mix and match and not use the same cleanser every day. That makes these big two packs a GREAT deal, as these cleansers are normally expensive anyway, especially if you only buy 1 bottle at a time.

Specialized versions are also available such as the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin, 8-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3). I am pretty sure that these two will work for any type of skin though.

Some people need the gentle cleanser due to skin conditions. If you just want an all around cleanser, the daily cleanser is the way to go. So if you need a nice facial cleanser, choose between these two depending on your needs.

Enjoy!!!

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.

I have been using this stuff for years. It's expensive in the grocery store, but online and in various stores, you can get a pretty good deal.

I first tried it after becoming frustrated with Clinique's three step (and too many other products to count before that). My skin was very oily and acne prone. But with using this cleanser, I have found that much of the acne was from irritation. And much of the oil was due to removing too much oil with cleansers. Now I use just this, twice a day followed by a light moisturizer, and basically my skin is quite nice as long as I am consistent with my skin care regiment.

If you are frustrated with trying everything for your problematic skin, this product is really worth a shot.

My dermatologist recommended Cetaphil to me several years ago and I've been happy with it ever since.

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.
