Galderma’s Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion For Sensitive Skin

I was at a nearby medical store, had a long list of medicines which I had to buy. I know that taking a lot of medicines is bad for health but I just can’t help it. It’s like I am always suffering from fever, throat infection, cough or cold. Anyways, so as I was busy narrating the funny names of various medicines to add in my first aid box, I saw this cute white bottle of “CETAPHIL”.

Now I think we all are aware of this lotion! A lot of people have used this and singing its praises! So I too though to give it a try…..read more to know more!

MY EXPERIENCE WITH CETAPHIL CLEANSING LOTION FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

The cetaphil cleansing lotion which is available at any medical store easily is packed in a white short bottle. The lotion is pure white in colour and is has a runny consistency.

I have to take a big dollop of the lotion to wash my face. It doesn’t lather well or I should say it doesn’t lather at all. But somehow it was able to clean my face well. I wash my face once in a day with it (just don’t want to use it too much) the dirt was gone the oil was gone and I got a clear face. It was able to keep the oil at bay for quite some hours!

I feel that regular usage is helping my face to be acne free but I cannot claim that it is removing the acne on my face 100% as I am using a lot of other products at this moment to help reduce bumps and acne. But this is definitely helping in solving the pimple curse to some extent!

SWATCHES OF THE CLEANSING LOTION

TURN ON: CETAPHIL CLEANSING LOTION FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

1)    It’s very gentle on skin. It’s great for sensitive skin.

2)    Non-comedogenic.

3)    Helps retain the moisture in the skin. It didn’t dry out my oily skin.

4)    It’s soap free solution (which is great for sensitive skin) which removes oil & dirt from face.

5)    Its fragrance free which all skin types would love!

6)    The skin feels soft after washing face from it.

7)    No skin reactions.

TURN OFF: CETAPHIL CLEANSING LOTION FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

1)    It doesn’t lather at all 🙁  I miss the foaming thing ( hehe).

2)    It’s not able to remove my rigid makeup nicely.

3)    I don’t like the medicinal smell it has!

4)    This variant gave a little slippery feeling on my face after washing my face…i have oily skin and I am sure it’s because this variant  is for normal to dry skin people. (not a con really but thought to mention )

COSMOCHICS RATING: 4.5/5

“INFO ON A SILVER PALTTER”- I like it and it did justice to my skin, apart from the not lathers well thing I am perfectly fine with this one. I was a little unsure about whether it would be good for my skin or not as it’s a medicated thing, but my skin rejoiced and I had no skin irritation or reaction after using this. Still I would suggest please don’t use this cleansing lotion without a doctor’s permission if you have hypersensitive skin or facing any skin issues.
