Product reviews of Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (16 oz)

Review: Doesn't work for me, but maybe I'm just the anomaly
Beauty product: 2 Stars

Wow, this cleanser has gotten so many positive reviews across many boards and forums. I have very sensitive skin and unfortunately, the very bad habit of being a facial skincare products junkie. I was hooked on using a cream cleanser by Estee Lauder but my pockets were going empty so I decided to try out the drugstore options. For my first forray, I decided, thanks to all teh glowing reviews, to try out Cetaphil. At the time, I was also experiencing mild acne, and yes, many reviewers also pointed out Cetaphil helped "cure" them of acne problems (though there's no acne-fighting ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide in it). So I figured to give it a shot, and at $10 for a BIG bottle, I thought it was a good investment.

Gave it a go that night. The stuff did not foam, which is ok with me, but what was not ok was the smell. I hesitated to rub it on my face, then took the plunge. Felt immediate stinging, which was a bit of a shock. Washed it off, still continued to feel the stinging so I went over my face more thoroughly with my washcloth. My skin felt really irritated, and I was preplexed since Cetaphil is supposed to be so mild and gentle. Alas, the next mornign I woke up with two fresh, new lovely pimples on my cheeks (which incidentally was where I first applied the cleanser). Wasn't thinking and again washed with Cetaphil. The whole day, my coworkers kept asking if I was sick because my face was really red and flushed. That night I just washed with water, no soaps at all, and dabbed medication on my pimples.

Guess what? My skin has improved since I stopped using Cetaphil. I am now using Purpose cleanser and my skin is ok. Just to check, I did try Cetaphil once again and woke up with a new pimple and flushed skin. So now that huge bottle of Cetaphil is just languishing away and taking up space in the medicine cabinet.

I honestly do not know why it did not work for me. I've read rumors that Cetaphil contains SLS which is known to irritate some people's skin. That could very well be my case, but I know I use shampoos with SLS and they havent bothered me (then again I do not rub shampoo on my face...). Guess I am the one dissenter who does not like Cetaphil.
