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.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is one of my favorite cleansers. I love it because when I wash my face with it, my eye make-up comes off without irritating my eyes. I also like the fact that it's unscented.

My fiancée is fastidious about personal grooming and takes particular care with her facial and upper body skin. At times in the past she experienced minor blemishes and a dermatologist recommended using the Cetaphil cleansing bar. She claims that it does an excellent job and she wouldn't be without it. Not too long ago, we were shopping in our local warehouse club and ran into a display of "Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser" (for all skin types) in a lotion form in 20-ounce bottles. We picked up a couple after determining that it was the same product as the bar. We both prefer the liquid cleansers to the solid bars, if available. She has been very satisfied with this product.

It wasn't long before her eagle eyes focused in on my facial and neck skin. I've never had major skin problems, even as a teenager, but I experience a zit now and then and careful inspection will reveal a few blackheads here and there and a somewhat oily skin. Well, this simply wouldn't do. It wasn't long before I was washing my face and neck/shoulders with the liquid Cetaphil Cleanser. Has it improved my condition? To be honest, I can't really tell. She claims I'm looking better so I continue applying it when she's around. I'm somewhat skeptical, and I don't particularly care for using it. It doesn't lather well, for example. I greatly prefer a few other products in this regard. Also, it looks somewhat like mucus. It's not, of course, but they could surely come up with a better-looking product. It has no particular odor, and I'll give it credit here. I've had no negative reactions to it of any kind, but I've never reacted to any cleaner. So, this is a product that is difficult for me to rate. I'd say it was marginally effective and give it three stars, whereas she would unquestionably praise it and give five stars. Perhaps we might both be correct in that we may be reacting differently as individuals. Let's go with four stars.

If you are looking for a gentle cleanser for sensitive skin - this is it. We use this on our little girl for her arms (they get a dry sometimes - i think from crawling around the floor).

Nice and gentle on the skin, smooth with practically no sent. I bought this product because of it's scarce paraban composition. My skin is extremely sensitive and if I put any fancy product on it I get rashes. Today unfortunately creams being over the counter or expensive creams, are loaded with chemical products inside, especially parabans, which cause the skin and your blood to over load with harmfull chemicals, which is not the case for CETAPHIL products. They are not 100% natural but they're close to it.

This product is so gentle there is no need to rinse your face after washing. It gets the job done too. Highly recommended by dermatologists.

Cetaphil's Gentle Skin cleanser won't remove makeup, but I love the Gentle Skin Cleanser to wash my face with in the morning in the shower. In the morning, there's no makeup to wash off, but it freshens up my face after being pressed into a pillow all night long. I don't notice a film on my face after using it, it rinses clean. This cleanser doesn't take the place of a moisturizer and isn't meant to (after all, it just gets rinsed off down the drain)..... it's a gentle, non-irritating facial cleanser, and a very good one at that.

If you need a facial cleanser to remove makeup, try Cetaphil's Daily Facial Cleanser for Normal To Oily Skin.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, 16-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2) This product was recommended to me by my Dermatologist. I have found it to be an excellent all body cleanser. With the added bonus of producing a very smooth shave on my face and neck when I shave with it.

I try to simplify my life. This product removes makeup and gently cleanses without ever feeling harsh. In a pinch, I have cleansed, removed with a warm wet washcloth, and fell into bed without further ado - and no morning repercussions! Skin is soft and smooth, but never causes irritation or breakouts. No fussing with caps: 2-3 pumps do the job.

This always makes beauty magazines "top products" lists because it's effective. No, it doesn't have extra ingredients or magical potions, but why would you wash that stuff down the drain anyway? Save your $ for treatments & proper protection! Absolutely gentle enough to use on a baby with any problem skin issues - bathing, etc. Fragrance free.

Works off everything but the MOST stubborn waterproof eye makeup. Even then, a little extra & you are fine. Great as an all purpose cleanser/makeup remover for travel.

I HAVE NOT HAD TO USE THE PRODUCT FOR LICE, AS I GOT THEM UNDER CONTROL. I HOPE I WILLNOT HAVE TO USE IT FOR THAT CONDITION, BUT WILL TRY TO USE IT FOR CLEANSING

I have been using this cleanser for over 15 years and it still is the best, gentle, never harsh, and non-drying. I admit this not for everybody, I was blessed enough by genetics(my maternal grandmother) to not have acne problems, but for people with normal to oily skin, that do not get breakouts; this is one of the best cleansers to use.

My dermatologist recommended this for my sensitive, somewhat oily skin. It cleans without being harsh.

It's a good cleanser if you are not wearing makeup, it doesn't really completely remove makeup or dirt. Great for morning cleansing though.

This product contains paraben, which can clog pores and cause breakout. But if you wash off the cleanser, instead of just wiping it on your face like the instructions say, I think it will be fine.

I like this product just fine, but it cannot hold a candle compare to my goat's milk soap.

cetaphil is extremely easy to use. it was reccommended by my dermatologist and i already see results after only 2 weeks. ive tried MANY acne cleansing products and this is by far the best.

_it washes off easily
_does not irritate skin
_gets rid of acne
_makes your face softer and smoother

Molly, daughter or Richard- I usually write positive reviews on this site but not this time. Why on earth do dermatologists recommend this s***? Last year my hormones were all out of wack and I had a period for a whole month. I broke out severely as one would expect. Dermatologists (including mine) swear by this aweful chetaphil. I HATE IT! It wasnt strong enough for my skin. It made my acne even worse if you can imagine! I'd been using it for four months when I finally decided enough was enough and I started using Neutrogena Frangrance Free Facial Cleanser. That change made all the difference in the world! I still do have acne but now it is mild acne instead of severe acne. Now its mostly just old, light scarring and the occasional breakouts around my chin and lips the week before my period. One of my friends is a dietition and she also has used Cetaphil and didnt like it at all. Please do not buy Cetaphil even if your dermatologist recommends it. You will totally regret it!

Back in the early 90s I was going through a bad acne period. I finally visited a dermatologist, and he put me on an Accutane regimen. I had sensitive skin and a tough beard, so regular shaving cream was too harsh (especially while taking Accutane - the solid brush-on cream I was using at the time burned the edges of my lips). He recommended that I shave with Cetaphil. Years later, my skin and beard are still troublesome. Therefore, I've kept Cetaphil as a part of my shaving regimen.

Cetaphil goes on well and provides a nice lubrication for my shaver. It's not harsh or irritating, even on a freshly shaved face. However, it's kind of cold in the morning, which is a bit counter-productive after heating my face with hot water and shower steam to soften the whiskers. So I put the bottle on the tub floor while showering to heat it up with the runoff. By the time I'm done, it's warm enough for application after rubbing some around my hands for a second or two.

However, even though Cetaphil feels good and lubricates well, its consistency is a bit thin to use alone. I like a good lather, so I combine Cetaphil with Kiss My Face Moisture Shave, which was recommended to me by a woman working at GNC. They mix well together, and I get a good, non-irritating shave by using the Gillette Fusion Power razor. For post-shave comfort and to prevent breakouts, I apply a product that contains salicylic acid, such as Clean&Clear Dual-Action Oil-Free moisturizing lotion.

If you have a razor-challenging beard and skin combination like me, then make Cetaphil part of your shaving routine. Recommended.

I have been using this for my face for over 10 years. It is very inexpensive (especially compared to other cosmetic brands) and cleans well without irritating or drying the skin. I also used it on my 3 kids. It comes in handy on the changing table, especially when the wipes were not quite "wet" enough to do the job! It is also great for any spot cleaning anywhere on the body without rinsing. It can just be wiped off without leaving any residue. It is very gentle, even for newborn's skin.

If you have sensitive skin this is a great product. I use it twice a day, every day. It is great in the morning to get a nice clean "canvass" upon which to apply your makeup. It also does a nice job removing makeup in the evening.

I love the way this product cleans my face without leaving it feeling tight and too dry they way some products can. I have naturally oily skin and this product removes the surface oil and makeup and leaves my skin feeling natural yet clean.

This product has little, to no scent. As with the entire Cetaphil line this product is designed for sensitive skin and is non-comedogenic.

I would recommend this product to anyone that wants to clean their skin without removing all the protective oils from their skin. My dermatologist recommended this years ago, and I am still a happy consumer of the product.

Cetaphil make a great line of products. Almost everyone can use them, because there is no fragrance, colour or anything else to irritate your skin. This cleanser is no exception.
It's actually got no real fragrance, but you can smell the natural smell from all the neutral ingrediants in it. It feels nice going on the skin, but if you have heavy make-up on, it's not the best remover. You should probably use this either only in the morning before applying make-up, or if you use a non-heavy make-up.
I use this often - I love how my skin doesn't feel tight or dry after using it and I lent it to a friend one time who has very sensitive skin, and she had no problems. Give it a try. It makes a cheap alternative to expensive cleansers that do either the same job or a less superior job. This is great.
