Cetaphil Daily Exfoliating Face Cleanser For All Skin Types Review

Hey, it's me again! I'm bored so here I am lol. Today, I will be doing another review about a skincare product from one of the brands I truly trust: Cetaphil. This is the first time I've tried Cetaphil Daily Exfoliating Cleanser (₱‌521/178ml) and I've stumbled upon it when I was browsing through their official shop online.

This isn't exactly like the newest from Cetaphil, but I don't think people are talking about it as much as with the Gentle Skin Cleanser one. That's basically the reason why I decided to try it out in the first place. And you know that each time I try something new, whether it's a pleasant experience or not, I'm just happy to share my thoughts with everyone.

 

This product right here is infused with skin conditioners and vitamins that gently cleanses and combats dirt, oil, and impurities with the exfoliating micro-fine beads. It promotes a faster skin cell turnover, buffing away dullness and dryness while leaving the skin soft, smooth, and radiant after every wash.

Cetaphil Daily Exfoliating Cleanser claims to be a non-irritating, hypoallergenic and is a gentle facial wash that is suitable for all skin types and is safe for everyday use.

Claims

The ingredient list is a bit long with tons of tongue-twister words for me (LOL!). I've noticed a few ingredients which always work great for my skin type such as Glycerin, Panthenol and Vitamin E. There's something that sounds herbal (and alien) to me such as the Bambusa Arundinacea, which I found out later on as the scientific name of Bamboo Extract.

Google says that it is a great natural moisturiser which soothes and smoothes skin while helping it hydrate. It supports and assists the healing of skin and has antibacterial properties to cleanse, purify and detoxify. Forgive me if I have to google them, for I am not very good with ingredients. Hahaha!

Ingredients

The product has a minimalist design just like most Cetaphil products. The only thing I dislike about the packaging is that it comes in this tube type bottle, which I think isn't the best option given that the formula is a bit runny. Sometimes when I open it in haste, the product slid down the opening and spilled. I think a pump would be better. 

Manufacturing and Expiration Dates

The formula has thin, gel-type consistency. It's close to clear in opacity, only with very tiny microbeads you'll barely see unless you look closely. I don't know why but the scent reminds me of Lactacyd Baby Bath I've used before when I had skin rashes. It's possible that my mind is playing tricks on me right now, but I really think that they smell so similar.

This cleanser doesn't create a foamy lather which I don't mind. I am used to cleansers that doesn't lather much and I like them better because they don't feel drying at all. I like using it together with the Gentle Skin Cleanser as my primary cleanser then follow it up with the exfoliating one. I don't know if anyone else do this, but I like using both because I felt like my skin is not just cleaner, but also softer.

First thing I noticed when I tried Cetaphil Daily Exfoliating Cleanser for the first time, was the burning sensation on my skin. It was intense and after only a few seconds, I had to wash it off already. It felt like I applied Maxipeel while my skin is already peeling (LOL!). But maybe that was my skin in the process of getting used to the product - which actually turned out to be true. The next few uses felt better. I have been using this product for about a month now (only once a day) and every time I use this cleanser, I still feel some warmness on my skin but it became much more tolerable.

The microbeads on it are non-abrasive - you'll barely feel them, to be honest. Cleanser rinses easily without leaving any residue. I also like how it soften and smoothen my skin every wash. It's an exfoliating cleanser, but it's surprisingly non-drying.

For only ₱‌521, you get a good amount of product that will last for a while. I recommend this product if you are looking for a substitute cleanser that will gently remove oil and dirt from your skin, as well as scrub away dead skin cells for that clearer-looking complexion.

Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance Brightness Reveal Creamy Cleanser Review

So I am doing yet another review of a product I have used some time from last year to February of this year. This review is long overdue since I stopped blogging for a while and so there might be more of these coming soon. I think that my experience while using them would be a waste if I don't share it.

I actually emptied two bottles of Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance Brightness Reveal Creamy Cleanser before I went back to my old Cetaphil Gentle Clean Cleanser. I wanted to keep using the former but the latter went on sale so then plans changed and that's what I repurchased. Talk about a silly excuse, right? I am on a budget so I gotta keep being practical. LOL.

PRODUCT INFORMATION, CLAIMS, DIRECTIONS FOR USE, INGREDIENTS

The cleanser we have right here is part of Cetaphil's Bright Healthy Radiance skincare line. Apart from this, I have also tried the body wash, day cream and night cream which is a cult-favorite. I emptied three jars of the night cream as that was a favorite of mine too. I didn't like the day cream though because the formula is too thick and heavy for my liking. It's unfortunate because I wasn't able to keep photos of them. I didn't know that I would be writing again. I might repurchase next time for blog purposes but for the meantime, I'm happy with the products I substituted them with.

Product is sealed with an aluminum foil. I didn't really like the cap very much because it tends to get loose and wouldn't close. I probably have gotten a defective container but whatever lol. Design looks clean and simple, nothing special. I like that it comes in a squeeze-type tube container so product is pretty easy to dispense.

I really love the formula. It lives up to its name because it has an opaque white color and has a very creamy consistency. I am not very particular with product scents, but this one barely has any fragrance to it which I prefer. Also, a little of it goes a long way. I think half a pea-size is enough for my whole face and neck. It suds to a creamy lather and is easy to rinse without leaving any residue.

This is a cleanser that isn't over-drying and is hypoallergenic so it's suitable for all skin types. It also feels nice to apply in circular motions because of the creamy suds. The "comforting cocooning lather" is true. I like how gentle it feels on my skin and doesn't aggravate breakouts. For a brightening cleanser, this is surprisingly non-drying. My skin indeed looks clearer and more radiant after every use. It's great in removing light, non-waterproof makeups and other impurities too.

Priced at only 462php for a 100g tube, I think that this is a great value for money from a trusted skincare brand. It's worth a repurchase, if you are looking for an affordable cleanser that does more than just the usual cleansing.

Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser for Acne Prone Skin Review

Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser

Bought for: P350 | SRP: 599 (in Lazada)

Bought from: an online shop

And since I consider Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser one of my greatest loves, I've been so enthusiastic about trying other products from their skin care line. I've long emptied my 590ml cleanser so I was looking for another bottle while I was doing my online shopping and there I spotted this cleanser meant for oily and acne-prone skin. It seemed like it was specifically calling me! Even though I try not to buy a lot of cleansers 'cause to be honest, I still have tons untouched, I still gave in. I am currently bombarded with both pesky white and black heads and painful pus-filled bumps--I never wanted a proper skincare so badly! Thinking how Cetaphil healed and soothed my skin before, I never had second thoughts about this this Oily Skin Cleanser for Acne Prone Skin.

Claims

Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser provides effective cleanisng foaming action removes surface oils, dirt and makeup without leaving your skin dry. It rinses clean and does not leave any irritating residue. It claims to be gentle enough for every day use, non-comedogenic, pH-balanced and non-irritating.

Cetaphil's tagline plays in my head: Every age. Every Stage. Every Day. It makes me believe that what I'm putting on my skin is gentle and will not do me any harm. Even though this is mainly intended for acne-prone skin, the ingredients are so gentle that it would fit just almost anyone's skin type. I'm not saying indiscreetly that it's gentle based on nothing or because it claims to be. I have been trying this for weeks already and just like the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, this one is just as mild on the skin. Keep on reading for more information!

Ingredients

Packaging

First thing first, well, packaging first! Just like all Cetaphil Products, the packaging is very minimalist yet clean and loaded with information. It comes with a pump that easily dispenses product and you can lock it by twisting to the right if you are bringing it for travels which I don't think I'd prefer because I got the biggest size. Don't need to fret though 'cause it's available in smaller bottles--the ones you can easily tuck away to pouches.

As we all know, Cetaphil products, being so sought-after and all, imitations are something to battle with. I know I got mine for more than half of it's retail price, but I know it's genuine. One indicator is the packaging. If you are buying online, ask for more pictures especially the batch codes and other possible trademarks of Cetaphil. I was able to find the batch code of this product so I know it's genuine. Cetaphil products don't lather much as well which is also the case with this cleanser.

Scent and Texture

Compared to Cetaphil Gentle  Skin Cleanser, this cleanser comes in a clear white liquid with a runny formula. The former was cloudy and shimmery. I'm sorry to compare but the scent is way too different as well. I love the subtle scent of Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and was a bit taken aback after I catch a whiff of Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser. It was way too strong (like old fragrances) and to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of heavily-scented products. If you are quite sensitive to classic scents, then this one may not be for you. Since I'm not particular with this factor very much, it's something I was forgiving about. I'd let it pass for now.

This cleanser does not lather very much which is favorable for me because it's non-drying. I know my skin's oily but it has been reacting lately so it can get dry and tight too. I wouldn't want something that will strip the skin it's natural moisture and the fact that this cleanser cleanses enough is but fine with me.

Performance

This product lives up to its claims. I still get oily every now and then but my skin gets more balanced and it takes a while before I notice a layer of oil in my skin. I know it fought breakouts too because I've been getting noticeably smaller bumps now compared to previously when I was using Mario Badescu Skin Care Acne Facial Cleanser. It does not totally get rid of makeup residue so I would suggest that you use a tough makeup remover prior to cleansing the face or use a toner that might be able to deep-cleanse the skin without drying it out if you don't use too much makeup. When used daily, this will soften the skin and gives a clearer complexion.

Overall Thoughts

This product could have been a really nice one had it been able to get rid of my most pimples just like how Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser did. This would have been a cleanser that works for me had I not tried the other variant before. It's different now because I already set my expectations and have something to compare it with, you know what I mean? This product didn't dry out my skin nor it gives an extra layer of hydration so it's like an okay product for me. I would still say that I prefer Gentle Skin Cleanser over this because the effect is quite more significant--clearer, more hydrated and polished skin with minimal to no breakouts. Nevertheless, I would still continue using this for its gentleness and will try to use different products in conjunction to see if it complements other skin care.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion Review

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion, 591ml

Bought for: P400/each only | SRP: P1000+/each

Bought from: a fellow blogger seller

Last month, I scored some goodies at such steal prices when a fellow seller of mine did some decluttering. These products were just ones among all super discounted items so I had to purchase. After all, I have been meaning to buy myself the gentle cleanser when the soap which I bought from a favorite brand suddenly did not work on me. I seemed to lose my hiyang factor after a few weeks so I decided to change my skin care routine, including the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion to it. And I will be talking about them today so here's a review about my experience. I know there are lots of reviews available online but I just want to share my thoughts about them anyway. These deserve one as they became a staple to me these days.

CETAPHIL GENTLE SKIN CLEANSER

Claims: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a mild, non-irritating formulation that soothes skin as it cleans. In fact, it's gentle enough for a baby's delicate skin. Designed specifically to work for all skin types, it is a simple, yet highly effective way to care for your skin.

• Our best-seller and fan favorite

• As gentle as it gets — soothes and cleanses, leaving skin smooth and soft

• Mild, soap-free formula cleanses without irritation — it won’t strip skin of its natural protective oils or emollients

• Moisturizes without leaving residue that can clog pores

• Good for special skin needs including those of rosacea-prone skin

• Available sizes: 2oz, 4oz, 8oz, 16oz

The pump I got here is the largest one so it is not convenient to bring when travelling. What I do is transfer a small amount of this to a clean travel-sized bottle and in that way, I don't have any excuse to not use this every single day. The pump is functional as you can open or stop it from dispensing the product.

This product claims to be mild on skin so expect that this is non-drying due to loads of emollients that you can find on the product's ingredient list. This is even mild enough to use for babies' skin. A lot of consumers use this as well and it's widely popular as a product that is for those with sensitive skin. I have super oily skin (you might know it already if you have been reading my blog for quite a while) but I still decide to give this a try because a lot of people recommend this cleanser to soothe my acne-prone skin because of its gentle formulation. Sometimes, those with harsher and tougher ingredients may harm us even more and I a living testimony how my skin reacts worse to them and you know what is even worse? My skin became even oilier than before so I am choosing gentle cleansers from now on and be more mindful of the products that I will use.

Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser has a very mild scent and is almost transparent in color with hints of shimmer on it. I have read somewhere that Cetaphil Cleansers vary depends on the location where it was produced (eg. Cetaphil Gentle Cleansers from the Middle East looks like the one I have, while those that are sold in Watsons are slightly blurry in texture but also as creamy). There are lots of counterfeit Cetaphil products being sold in the market today for such cheap prices. Just keep in mind that authentic Cetaphil Gentle Cleansers do not lather much on the skin, moisturizing and is fragranced-free and no matter how different they look, the effect is just the same. Fake ones lathers richly and is heavily-fragranced.

Since this product does not lather much on the skin, it tends to not be able to remove heavy or deep traces of makeups on the skin so you might want to use a separate makeup remover prior to cleansing your face. When you apply it on your skin, you can either rinse the product with water or just wipe it off with a wet tissue or clean towel if your skin needs more moisture.

This product really lives up to its word. This is definitely gentle and is non-irritating. I like letting the product stay on my skin for a few more minutes before rinsing off so oils and dirt and even dead skin cells may loose up and eventually be removed. To date, this is the best gentle cleanser for me. By the way, according to today.com, you may also find this product multi-tasking for it can be used as an additional ingredient if you are making a scrub, wash color-treated hair, used as an alternative to killing lice, moisturizing alternative to shaving creams, alternatives to eye makeup remover and brush-cleaner!

CETAPHIL MOISTURIZING LOTION

Claims: Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion is specifically formulated to soothe your chronically dry skin. Once applied, your skin feels soft and smooth. It is non-greasy, non–irritating and non–comedogenic (won't clog pores), leaving you feeling more comfortable in your own skin.

• Lightweight hydration to replenish sensitive and normal skin

• Fast-acting, long-lasting, light-weight formula helps maintain healthy skin

• Special ingredients are proven to bind water to skin and help prevent moisture loss

• Protects and enhances skin’s natural moisture

• Available sizes: 2oz, 4oz, 8oz, 16oz

Just like the cleanser, the counterpart lotion that I have also come in the biggest size you know so it's hard to bring this wherever I want. I would still have to transfer some creams to small jars so I can use it anytime.

This lotion is suitable for face and body use and since I bought the cleanser, why not buy this lotion as well, right? So I can have at least a low-maintenance skin care if I want to. Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion smells mild as well and I see this as a water-based moisturizer that effectively soothes any skin problem even with only a little amount. The cream itself is very lightweight but not too runny and comes in an opaque white texture. It gets absorbed to skin easily as well without any sticky or greasy feel. Since I have oily skin, its moisturizing and hydrating factor is sufficient already to get rid of the tight feeling I am having after cleansing the face. However, if you have dry skin, you might want to use a heavy-duty moisturizer to hydrate your skin.

This lotion does not break me out or cause any tingling sensation or even irritation so it must really be that holy grail moisturizer I am looking for all this time. If you are getting away from moisturizers which leaves some white greasy film on the skin, you might want to switch to Cetaphil Lotion now. Indeed, it's non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) so it suits whatever skin type you have. One thing I find off about it though is the fact that it does not have built-in sun protection. so I still need to apply a separate sunscreen on top of it.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

I am personally loving my Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion! I notice that after using both for quite some time, breakouts were kept at bay and I am not having any cystic acnes. Though I am still breaking out (red days), my pimples looks relatively smaller than before and less severe, itchy and even fewer in number. I plan on including this on my skin care routine (like ever) and if I changed my mind, I'm sure I will be coming back for these.

Have you tried Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion already? Any thoughts? Share it here with me! Happy blogging!
