Q: How does this product differ from Cetaphil Gentle Facial Wash? Which do you recommend for Rosacea?

  • A: Hi there! This is our Gentle Skin Cleanser. It is a creamy formula that is clinically proven to provide continuous hydration to protect against dryness.

It gently cleanses to remove dirt, impurities and excess oil without over-drying or irritating redness prone, sensitive skin. Hope this helps!

    Rehydrates skin and makes soft

    I Have dry skin around my lower back and my gf has super sensitive skin so we use this to rehydrate us and lather it on after bed, this is so worth the price especially being that it works better than most I’ve used

    Overall really nice products though the lotion is too runny for my taste. But it smells nice and clean and works really well at maintaining hydration.

    Perfect for sensitive eyes

    Been using this for years! Love this after cleansing to remove left over makeup. It’s extremely gentle for my sensitive eyes. Works like a charm to help keep my skin and eyes clean without a harsh tight or squeaky clean feeling.

    Gentle on my sensitive skin.

    Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is my go-to face wash. It’s gentle on my sensitive skin. This skin cleanser also works really well to wash away my make up. It rinses well. This cleanser absorbs nicely into my skin helping with dryness. I would 100% recommend this cleanser!

    Gentle

    This cleanser is so gentle and I applied it to my face and it lathers well and doesn't have a harsh scent. It's gentle enough for the face but it might not be able to remove makeup. It's good for my morning routine.

    Cleanses effectively but leaves the face dry

    I've been using this unscented cleanser for years. Its consistency is not too thick and cleanses well. The only minus point is that it leaves my face feeling dry after cleansing.

    Highly recommend- my #1 completely cleared and sto

    Cetaphil has been around for a very, very long time and it's because their products keep your skin barrier healthy. I have struggled with acne for the past twenty years and this brand is truly the only one that completely cleared my acne. Keeping my facial routine simple with these two products, my skin is left feeling clean and moisturized. The pump bottle is an added bonus that dispenses the perfect amount of product every time. The brand prices all of their products at an extremely affordable price. The ingredient list contains only the best things for your face. I highly recommend this product and Cetaphil is my number one pick for facial skincare.

    Favorite gentle cleanser and moisturizer

    I love all Cetaphil products but these two in particular are great. I love how gentle the cleanser is and it makes my skin feel really clean without making it feel dried out. I prefer a cleanser without active ingredients so this is a perfect option for that. The lotion is super moisturizing and I use it on face and body. Never causes any issues with clogging my pores and helps keep my skin barrier healthy so my other active ingredient products like Vitamin C and tretinoin can do their jobs.

    A no brainer for sensitive skin!

    This has always been one of my staples for my sensitive skin! No harsh ingredients at all! I only wish it removed my eye makeup a little better (why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5) but I just have to use a makeup remover wipe first, which is fine. Plus the bottle of it lasts forever and has a pump which is always a bonus. Also, you can buy this pretty much ANYWHERE.

    Too gentle?

    Very gentle on skin to point where I’m not sure if it’s really cleaning much off. It feels really calming on the skin but might be better used as a second cleanser. No scent and simple straight forward texture.
