Gentle Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin

I used this for about a year. I had continual whiteheads on my chin during that time. A dermatologist looked at my skin and said that my skincare was too rich.

I stopped using this, and switched it for a La Roche Posay cleanser.

My skin cleared up and the breakouts have not returned.

I took this on vacation with me. Brought a cetaphil bar as backup. I used it one morning & noticed bumps on my cheeks. Theat weren’t there before I washed my face. At the beach my skin usually looks flawless too. So I went back to cetaphil & had to extract the bumps. Just clogged pores. Didn’t turn red or anything. Been gone since I stopped using. So turns out nothing is …Read more

Love this cleanser, so simple and non-irritating with very simple surfectants. I don't hate the smell as much as others do, it's definitely medicinal but I find it really mild honestly! It's nice that it lathers too, but I don't consider that a must since I've learned to appreciate the moisturising effects of non-foaming cleansers like Cerave hydrating and Cetaphil …Read more

I was hoping for the best but I'm pretty sure that weirdly enough, I'm allergic to something in this cleanser. Rinsed it off and got a huge red itchy spot right above my lip. Love the moisturizer though!

I have severe combo, sensitive skin and this has been amazing. Washes away make up easily and leaves my skin feeling soft/clean. I ordered on Amazon as this is not sold in Canada as was very sceptical. Very happy I took a leap of faith on this.

I couldn't handle this....or any foaming cleanser for that matter. Too drying for me. Back to Cetaphil gentle.

I'm saying I'd buy it again, but only because "maybe" isn't an option. I'm finishing up my bottle and totally on the fence. This would probably be great for someone with oily, sensitive skin. My skin is very middle-of-the-road oil-wise, and right now I find this really drying. Maybe I'd like it more if the weather were hotter and my skin felt oilier before I …Read more

I normally change my cleansers seasonally. During the winter - when my skin is dryer - I rely a lot of cream cleansers, but sometimes you just need a good foaming cleanser, you know? That's where this Vanicream cleanser comes in. You see, as much as I love CeraVe Foaming Cleanser and S:um37 MRCS they're just too drying for my winter skin. I can use them, sure, but I better be slathering …Read more

Edit 4/14/2018: I reviewed this cleanser too early. I should have known better. Like most foaming cleansers, it ultimately made me break out in little flesh colored bumps. It also started to dry me out. Too bad ):

I'm a cleanser junkie. I'm always trying something new. I have a whole slew of different cleansers I use and like. So, I really didn't need this cleanser, but …Read more

This is the opposite of gentle. It made my face tight, dry, red and gave me dry patches to boot. I've used soap-based cleansers which are gentler than this. I'll stick to my micellar water.
