Very gentle. I usually use is as a cleanser in the morning and make-up remover at night.

I purchased cetaphil, and stopped using it when I realized there were lots of chemicals. I would highly recommend Dr. Bronner's Extra Mild Castile soap. I have rosacea, and it does not bother it. Everyone in the family uses it, it cleans well but does not dry the skin.

I think the dermatologist recommended because of its mildness.but i saw it contains alcohol,it made me can not open my eyes because of its irritative smell. I think i will never buy it again....

I think Aquanil Cleanser is a better choice for oil skin.Because of SLS,it's clean ability is much better.

I used it. It is gentle and sutiable for me. but there are too many brands to choose. Thanks for the topic, It reminds me to use it again.

I do not like this cleanser....
I purchased a 500ml bottle from HK. The price was impressive-about 13 USD. But this cleanser is too gentle to remove my makeup.
But it's really very very easy to be washed off.
Besides, each time I should use a large amount, because it do not generate any bubble.


Cetaphil is gentle for makeup removal so I use Cetaphil and Clarisonic together. Also the Clarisonic Cleanser is expensive than Cetaphil so I replaced itwith Cetaphil. They work great together.

I love Cetaphil also.

When I want to really deep clean my pores, I just add a tsp of white cornmeal to a squirt of Cetaphil, apply to nice warm/moist face, and use a face brush for a few minutes. (Not for those with very dry skin.)

For occassional toning, nothing beats a few drops of apple cider vinegar in a bit of water..


Love the cornmeal idea! Anything added to Cetaphil is a bonus IMO. It's as boring as they come. I like my cleansers to be a mild form of entertainment.

Good ol' Cetaphil! Haven't heard about it in a long time. I used to use it when I was a teen (nice and gentle on my pimply skin!), but I remembered it smelled like white paste glue!

It also looks like glue and has the consistency of liquidy glue. Really gross...

I used to use the oil free version and it was fine. Not amazing, but it got the job done, and did not bother my sensitive skin.

Sorry, it's crap! It doesn't remove sunscreen or makeup; prove it to yourself by running a Salux cloth over your face after you have used it. But the Cetaphil bar soap is just fine, if a little drying.

I am one of those who don't like (hate) it (I mean the gentle one). In my opinion, it doesn't do its job (which is cleansing) but left my skin very dry. I don't think it is gentle at all.

This cleanser is so cheap and was supposed to could remove light makeup. But I tried it for almost 500ml, and eventually found that it can not even clean my face deeply, not to say remove the makeup!
