4.1

Cetaphil earns largely positive reviews as a gentle, effective staple for sensitive skin, with standouts like the Gentle Skin Cleanser, Moisturizing Cream, and hydrating serums that soothe without irritation. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some cleansers feel too mild to deeply cleanse or remove makeup, sunscreen and moisturizer can underwhelm, results vary by skin type, and one reviewer avoids the brand due to animal testing concerns.

  • It’s a classic face wash that my entire family has used at least for a phase of their lives. It’s always around because it’s reliable. However, with Cetaphil you really have to take into measure your skin type because my dryer patches of skin don’t react well to this cleanser even though I’m combination skin.

  • This is definitely an oldie but a goodie. It has always been so reliable, and I know I can reach for it anytime and trust that it will get the job done. It is gentle on my skin and never leaves it feeling irritated or dry, which I really appreciate. I also love the travel-size version because it is so convenient to throw in my bag and take with me wherever I go.

  • I love that this product has simple ingredients and not a laundry list of additives. I feel that this product may not be cleaning my skin as well as it could be. It does not foam or feel like other face washes.

  • I have been using the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for a couple of days and it seems to work well enough. It doesn't burn or anything like that. It goes on smooth. It is easy to rinse off. I don't know how much it is actually cleaning my face though.
