If you have been reading my post in quite some time now, you must be familiar with this product, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser as I’ve mentioned it at least twice in between on my beauty posts.



I have a combination of oily-dry skin type; tend to get mild break-outs occasionally.
I've been so tired on searching the perfect cleanser for my face, since I'm in my teen years, I get break-outs quite often and trust me, I've tried a lot. Blemishes seem like something that I can't get rid of, but ever since I started using Cetaphil, my skin has cleared up A LOT. Accompanying with my face routine, this is a life-saver! I'm on my third bottle now and my skin has never feel better as it is now.


Cetaphil?
A gentle – mild soap-free cleanser that soothes and cleanses the skin, leaving it smooth and clean without irritation and it is suitable for all skin types. “It won’t strip skin of its natural protective oils or emollients,” the website described. True! It did not do any harm on my skin (yet, and hopefully never), supporting the fact that I’m on my third bottle now!

It is very gentle that it’s also safe to be used on baby’s skin and for those who are rosacea-prone skin. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t block pores. It leaves skin feeling moisturised.




How I use it?
I wash my face with this morning and evening, daily. Sometimes during midday. What’s great about this cleanser is that, it does not leave my skin feel tight. I would wet my hand with water and rub gently on my face, circular motions, massage my skin upwards around my cheeks, downwards on my nose and  horizontally on my forehead. Trust me, this helps to reduce fine lines and something about aging. I saw a YouTuber did this once, and I’ve been following ever since!

As you can see here, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser has a milk consistency. It gives no bubble, it has an equal amount of water and oil based in it.

How is it so far?
First of all, I was an acne-prone for years, I would have pimples everywhere, not to mention the ridiculous amount of white and blackheads I had. Ever since I started using this, around December last year, 2015, my acne scars slowly fade, not gone – just fade. I do not - have not reached to the point where I have a crystal clear skin, but at least it is WAY BETTER than before.

My Clinique toner gave a big role in this process too! Missed my post about that? Click here to read!

Not forgetting my oily skin, my skin tends to be oily during the day and dry at night. Odd? Or is it normal? HAHAHA. But ever since this, my skin gradually gets more in control of its excessive production of oil.

Did you know that we actually need the oils?
cr: owner
Facial oils protect the skin by strengthening and maintaining its lipid barrier, blocking external influences such as extreme temperatures, over-cleansing, low humidity, sickness and travel. Strengthening this lipid layer also accelerates the skin’s natural healing and repairing process!


 I would love to try out facial oils to next time and see how it does on my skin. Expect something guys, hahaha, well not anytime soon, that’s for sure.

Where did I hear of this?
To be honest, I’ve been wanting to try this out for years now, around 2 years, I’ve seen it in my drugstore and I kept telling myself, “next time” “maybe soon” but I never really get the chance to grab it. Not until I had the worst break-out last year, probably stressed because of my big exam, HAHAHA, and trust me, Ive tried a LOT of facial cleansers before, some are good but it didn’t last long, soon after the first bottle, I wouldn’t consider to buy another bottle of the same product. Some, are just awful to my skin, this developed my fear on harsh cleansers – full-on chemical products. Not until last year, I suddenly had the interest on doing research of products and I’m loving the activity so far, something I do during my spare time, until now! That is why I’ve decide to do reviews. HEHEHE.

GDiipa, (https://www.youtube.com/user/GDiipa) actually gets me off my seat and seeing her skin, really pulled me closer onto this Cetaphil. I mean, have you seen her skin? TO DIE FOR.
Thanks Diipa, much love! x

Personally,
Skin-care products > Make-ups

Speaking of make-ups, this cleanser actually removes traces of light make-ups! But I really recommend to just using a proper make-up remover to remove everything before cleansing.

I think I’ve made my comments clear enough, hands down the best so far! I would love to use this consistently and hopefully in the next 10 years, I will still have no problem with this one! Dear Cetaphil, don’t stop producing this. Sincerely, me. xD

Product rate?
5 donuts out of 5.

Lots of love,

NFS. x

    1. Aw thankyou for reading! Glad that it does work for you, I'm sure you have a better skin routine with Cetaphil in hand. I heard about Aiken, but never thought of trying them but since you've used it, I'll consider. Hehe c:
