Cetaphil Cleanser | Skincare #Review

The day I purchased this product, I could hear my skin shout “hallelujah” and it’s been thanking me ever since!!

Cetaphil is “Specially formulated to provide effective, gentle skincare to help your skin look and feel its best, Cetaphil is a clinically proven therapeutic skincare range for dry, sensitive or compromised skin. Fragrance free and non-comedogenic (doesn't block your pores).”

Due to my combination skin I never really know what cleanser is best for me to use all year round and it’s a bit of a faff having to buy different cleansers to use when my skin has a mind of its own. I used to love using facial scrubs on my skin, I loved the feeling to getting rid of all the dead skin and it left me feeling so fresh.. UNTIL my skin suddenly got very dry and I knew I had to end this love affair with harsh exfoliators and scrubs.

So after hearing about this product on YouTube I thought I’d give it a go, for £8.99 it wasn't the cheapest cleanser on the market but I was hoping the investment would help sort my skin out.

I use this product whilst I'm in the bath I'm a bath girl rather than showers, I apply it quite liberally all over my face and down my neck and using my Primark Cleansing Pad (I’ll do a review soon) I rub this into my skin. (Bear with me I am aiming to invest in a Clarisonic Mia 2 soon- but this will do for now). I then use a facial cloth to rinse out the product from my face.

Loves ♥ :

Gentle

This is the gentlest cleanser I have ever used. It feels almost cream like in texture and doesn't drag across my face. Even when I use it to remove my eye make up I am yet to feel any stinging sensation or irritation which is all good with me.

No fragrance

Which I LOVE. I'm really fussy when it comes to scented skincare products because who needs and asks for them extra chemicals?

Recommended for acne prone skin

I wouldn't say this directly applies to me but I would say for those like me who previously opted for harsh scrubs to get that fresh clean feeling, give this a go instead!

Little bit goes a long way 

You really don’t need a lot of this product for it to do the job which is why it’s great as an everyday cleanser.

No foam, No flakes 

It is a well-known fact that foaming facial washes or cleansers dry out your skin. So you’ll be happy to know this product does not foam which reduces the likelihood of dried out skin.

However:

Does not remove all make up 

Although the bottle does state it will remove “light make-up” I would have loved it to remove a bit more of my eye make-up. Sometimes I feel like when I've applied this product with my make-up still on my make-up is simply spread across my face so my facial cloth has to do all the hard work.

Overall, this has now become my Holy Grail facial cleanser! I can tell this will be repurchased time and time again until I find a different product to have a go at!

I can’t really fault it.

Have you tried the Cetaphil cleanser? What are your thoughts? Any cleanser recommendations?
