Burns my skin ever since I started on Retin-A. Used to be able to use it now I can't. It's good and cleans well and doesn't leave a residue. It removes sunscreen too. I will either quit Retin-A and cu...Read more

So much for being oil free. This has castor oil in it! Why lie and say it's oil free? Does that make any sense the kind for oily skin would have oil in it? Castor oil is an irritant and isn't suppos...Read more

To be clear this is a review for the Daily Facial Cleanser from CETAPHIL, not the original 'Gentle' Skin Cleanser from CETAPHIL. This product has recently undergone a complete reformulation in the U.S...Read more

Strongly scented. Smells a little like the scent in Differin facewash, which I had a reaction to. And this is even more potent. So rather than chance skin trouble again, this is already a no. Otherwis...Read more

Way too drying. This left my face feeling tight. I don't mind fragrance in some cases but this was just too much. But what really sealed its fate was when it didn't even break down my concealer let...Read more

I always thought this product was gentle but it turns out it was drying out my skin and making my acne worse. My face was constantly red. Oily skin. I switched to Vanicream and I'm very happy.

Honestly, it's not that great. It has a very strong medicine smell, which fills my nose every time I use it. It barely foams and leaves a lot of makeup residue, which other cleansers usually don't. I ...Read more
