PLEASE READ. HONEST REVIEW.
Do you have extremely sensitive skin? Like the type of sensitive where you can’t even wash your face EVERY single day because products are too harsh type-sensitive? Or the type of sensitive where facial moisturizers will quite literally break you out? As someone who has deeply struggled with acne and my skin overall since middle school, this is the ONLY product that I completely trust (which pairs beautifully with the JunoSkin Melting Balm) You guys… I NEVER write any reviews simply because there has never been a product where I felt like it needed my energy/time to write a review for. However, this product is a complete game changer.*The picture I uploaded is the most problematic side of skin (my left cheek) post workout and HAVEN’T washed my skin yet, no filter, no makeup, nothing.A little backstory on me, I originally started using Cetaphil’s Gentle Daily Cleanser but even THAT was extremely harsh on my skin and would cause me to break out/not clear up any acne or dry my skin out completely. However it was the only product my skin would tolerate whenever I needed to clean my skin. I resorted to even making homemade natural treatments like rice water masks, honey masks, and things of that nature and those still did not help my skin at all. Until this! This product is absolutely insane. AS SOON as you use it, you will literally feel any irregularities/acne minimize instantly on your face and it STAYS like that even if you decide not to wash your skin the next day. I like to put it on in the shower and use it as a “mask” while I wash the rest of my body and then rinse off. I will add it can sometimes be drying if you use it frequently (I have oily dominant- combination skin).I will ride hard for this product as long as they don’t change a single thing about it because my skin is that sensitive. This is the clearest my skin has ever been, i know its not perfect but comparing to where I started my inner child is truly so happy ð¥¹, so I will leave my nighttime routine down below for anyone else who may be able to relate (a little goes a long way for me):- Junoskin no. 10 Cleansing Balm (only when I have makeup on or when my pores are clogged)- Cetaphil Clarifying Acne Cream Cleanser (I personally like to let my skin air dry after use)- Good molecules Discoloration Correcting Face Serum (I honestly have no clue how this product doesn’t break me out but it is absolutely amazing)- Good molecules Hyaluronic Acid- Slug with Aquaphor (only when skin is in desperate need of moisture)Supplements:- Biotin and collagen gummies (GREAATTTT for hair skin and nails)- Chlorophyll water (Gives such a distinct glow/color to skin it’s insane, it will help with digestion/deodorization too)I hope this review helps someone because like I said, I TRULY never leave reviews lol.

Best face wash I ever used.
Been using this face wash on my face for the last 3 years, but recently been getting this on Amazon. And this facewash works great. I feel like I haven’t been getting pimples as often, since I started using this. Obviously my face get oil alloy alittle bit after a couple hours. But, other wise this works great with my face.

Best Iâve found
Works great! Leave on for about 60Seconds or more. Takes about a week but, it works really well.

Feels like nothing
I’ve had a dermatologist in the past recommend cetaphil, and I feel like it didn’t work then and it doesn’t work now. It honestly just feels like wiping thick water on your face and the it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference on your skin. I don’t think it actually does much to remove the dirt from your face, but that’s probably just because it doesn’t have suds. I don’t think I’d use this product again. I guess it could be good for other people though.

New holy grail!
I cannot believe how much I love this cleanser! Let me start off and say Iâve tried many different cetaphil products in the past and nothing ever stood out to me. I was previously using the youth to the people cleanser which I love but I donât love spending $30 plus dollars on a face wash. I have oily acne prone skin and Iâm currently using tretinoin as my main and only active. Since the tretinoin is so strong and often disturbs my skin barrier I canât use any other leave on acids without irritating my skin which is where this product comes in. I feel like this is the product my skin was missing. It gives the tret that little boost that my skin was needing without aggravating my face and causing more breakouts. Iâve been using this alongside the tret since may and this is the clearest my skin has been for years! Even when my period rolls around I’m not getting any angry hormonal breakouts. I will say the texture is a little strange getting used to. I usually just emulsify the cleanser up in my hands with water and continue washing my face as normal. It washes off clean but not stripped and never leaves any residue behind. I also like use this almost like a mask when I shower by washing my face & leaving it on while I wash the rest of my body/shave etc. it gives the salicylic acid a little more time on my face to work itâs magic. I will definitely keep buying and using this Iâm praying they never discontinue! Good luck to all the others struggling with oily acne prone skin!

Aunque es raro que tenga una sensación y textura de crema o pomada, limpia bien y se retira fácil de la barba deja buena sensación en la piel
