Best praise vs top criticism for Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
“I think you have some great advice regarding your nose in the other comments, my other two cents is instead of running through packs of wipes like crazy, maybe washing your face with micellar water and a cotton round to remove grime and then going in with a basic cleanser like cetaphil would be a little more efficient in washing your face? Or even just a double cleanse of the cetaphil in general. Just a suggestion!!”
“I’ve had terrible luck with cetaphil and vanicream products - you could be sensitive to ingredients in them? Even supposedly acne-safe, non-comedogenic products have really aggravated my skin”
