Cetaphil

I like this cleanser, but only for morning use. I don't find that it removes oil based makeup very well, despite the claim it does on the packaging. It doesn't compete with my all time favorite cleanser - Cerave Foaming Cleanser. I'm just a sucker for that foamy feel. Overall I'd purchase it again, but only to use during the AM.

I love how simple this cleanser is! It feels gentle and after washing my face does not feel thight at all, but also very clean and comfortable. I know it contains sodium lauryl sulfate and that this is an harsh cleansing ingredient you should generally avoid. I've heard people say this is basically handsoup + fatty alcohols, but I don't care because it just workes so great. The SLS is low on the ingredient list so maybe something in the low amount of it and the combination of ingredients together makes the product gentle and effective. To be honest, I never had a very expensive cleanser to compare with, always drugstore brands (but I always did research on the ingredient list of a product before buying), so maybe I just don't know better. But still, I think a cleanser has one job and that's cleaning the skin, so why should it be expensive?

I bought this cream a while ago due to my dry hands and I believe that this one might be a new formula or it's a bit different from the US hand cream. The one I bought feels not greasy nor waxy and it has a light scent which I think smells good, the only problem I have is that I have to wait a bit until it soaks into the skin and leaves a very light moisturizing film over my hands which is a bit annoying as every time I touch something, it leaves marks on it... and I think that it's a bit slower in showing results than the Cerave hand cream. https://youtu.be/knQ9MpaFl6E
