Review : Cetaphil Daily Gentle Skin Cleanser

Product Description
Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser is great for daily makeup removal. Originally formulated for dermatologists, this cleanser is gentle on your skin and sensitive to your skin’s needs. Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser will not strip the skin of natural protective oils or emollients, or disturb the skin’s natural pH balance. This dermatologist-recommended cleanser is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser is gentle enough for children, teens and adults.

When I learnt that the dermatologist I visited for eczema also has one by the basin, I was keen to try it out. I owned a trial sized sample from here and have been using it as a daily cleanser.

This is a mild and gentle cleanser which does its job. It does not remove make-up well, as far as I am concerned, and I used it as a cleanser, not a make-up remover.

White in colour and gel in texture, it does not lather but I quite like the comfortable and moisturised feeling on the skin. There is no greasy or taut feeling. It is also scentless.

But I was dismayed with the ingredients. SLS! A surfactant. Parabens! A preservative! Not something I would repurchase in the full size even though the concentration may be low. Still, it has many reviews on Makeupalley, scoring 3.5 from 4419 users with 63% of people willing to buy it again. It also scored 8.3 on Total Beauty from 584 users.

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