Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Face & Body Wash

The main thing to know is that Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a low-lather cleanser, so it doesn’t foam like a soap or foaming wash, even though it still cleans your skin. It’s also a cleanser rather than a moisturiser, so if your skin is very dry you may want to moisturise after washing.

As with any skin product, check the ingredient list if you have allergies, keep it away from your eyes, and stop using it if it makes your skin sore or itchy.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a gentler choice than soap for dry, sensitive skin. It’s soap-free and fragrance-free, and the NHS says everyday soaps and shower gels usually dry out the skin, which can make dry or itchy skin worse. After washing, pat your skin dry and moisturise straight away.

If it makes your skin more itchy or sore, stop using it. If the itching doesn’t settle, a GP or pharmacist can help find the cause.

Yes, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser can suit older skin. It’s soap-free and fragrance-free, and it’s made for dry, sensitive skin. Skin often gets drier with age, which can make it itchier and easier to irritate, and soap can dry it out further, so a gentle cleanser is a kinder choice.

Pat your skin dry rather than rubbing, and moisturise straight afterwards. If your skin is very dry, itchy or cracked, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

Yes. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is made for use on both the face and body, and it can be used daily. Apply it to your skin, massage it in gently, then rinse with water and pat dry. You can also use it without water: massage it in gently and remove the excess with a soft cloth or cotton pad. Keep it away from your eyes.
