    ok, I don't like this face wash. I don't hate it either but if I am wearing particularly heavy makeup or sunscreen I just feel this doesn't cut it. I think it also might be breaking me out not...

    Sure it works! But one would think that for the price they charge for the foaming cleanser they could manufacture a quality pump. Each bottle I’ve purchased malfunctions and sticks after a few days...

    To stop a rosacea flare, I put it on dry skin and wipe off with a tissue for instant relief. This is the only cleanser my hyper-sensitive combo skin with rosacea can tolerate. It's the ONLY...

    This is my daily facial cleanser. I am obsessed with all Cetaphil products and this one is just another reason why I am a faithful. So silky, gentle and leaves you feeling hydrated and clean.

    It is not drying at all. I do feel like something in it is irritating my skin/breaking me out sometimes....so I use it occasionally, alternating with only using water to wash. But it is still the...

    I had high hopes for this as many ladies on the board with dry, sensitive skin are big advocates. Sadly for me, it left my skin feeling tight, and I was drier across the chin and around the nose....

    It's a nice facial soap for the price. It didn't seem to dry out my skin. However, I never felt like my face was totally clean after using it - my skin still felt kind of oily. With Cetaphil being...

    I think I got a bad pump that was defective. The pump started to not really work properly after the bottle was half through. Good product. Soft and gentle on the skin. Not that pricy for what it is.

    I follow Dr. Youn on YouTube and he brought to my attention that this cleanser contains parabens. However the Cetaphil foaming cleanser does not. Therefore I will not repurchase.
