Cetaphil Cleanser for All Skin Types Review

Gentle skin cleanser for all skin types

Mild, non-irritating formula

Softens as it cleans

And here I am, jumping into the bandwagon as always. There's a lot of good reviews about Cetaphil for being a mild cleanser. Even my best friend is curious of the product. So I bought this a month or months ago.

Cetaphil is not only for the face but all the skin throughout the body. It can be used even without the presence of water and claims fine for babies to use. It also has a variant for oily type of the skin.

Ingredients:
Water, cetyl alcohol, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, stearyl alcohol, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben.

• Soothing, non-irritating cleanser ideal for face, hands and body
• Helps skin retain needed moisture
• Rinses easily and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and healthy
• Mild enough to cleanse a baby's delicate skin

Non-comodogenic

Fragrance free

pH Balanced

Dermatologist Recommended

Some Irony

They say it's gentle when it actually consists of alcohols, parabens and even SLS. Correct me if I am wrong, I don't feel that it's natural or organic at all. Not that the brand claim it is. It's just so popular and widely recommended (even by dermatologists) for being mild. Maybe its just plainer than other commercial cleansers.

Smell/Texture

Are you familiar with gawgaw? Cornstarch can be used as a paste. Just add water and cornstarch and cook it in a low fire. The Cetaphil smells like that. The consistency is similar to a soup. It doesn't lather even in the presence of SLS. SLS is the ingredient that makes shampoo and other similar products to foam.

A Thought and Review

The whole bottle consumption didn't give my skin some spectacular improvements. My face is still the same and with pimples. For those endowed with baby-like and supple skin, this will do for cleansing purposes. For those who want to achieve something such as smooth, fair, pimple free and lighter face, they should opt for different product. And remember that if you use a set which consists of different brands, the ingredient might conflict with each other... too much alcohol... to much exfoliation... et cetera.

Under the Cetaphil is the Home Remedy book I used to read. This book is as old as I am and it recommends mild cleanser such as Cetaphil and Dove
