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.

    1. Yes Shilpa it will suit you! But you need to take more amount of face wash to wash face as it doesn’t lather well 🙂
      You can try other variant of Cetaphil which is “Daily Facial Cleanser” For normal to combination oily skin, that would be a better choice if you dont have sensitive skin!

    1. Hi Shru! I am not very sure about that! I think there are few supplements & professional medical treatments available in the market to cure Milia.

      Please Consult a dermatologist.
      Thanks.

  21. I used to have intermittent acne breakouts , pimples and it was uncontrolled. Tried many commercial brands Himalaya, Olay . but nothing was able to control the acne breakout and also left my skin dry . Hence I had to use moisturiser after a face wash which did not suit my skin. So I visited a dermatologist and she recommended Cetaphil. I could see the resukts immediately..

  25. I have some jhaiya on my face, though it’s starting phase. I have acne also and my skin is too dry that I can peel a thin layer every time I wash my face and leave it without moisturiser. Is this lotion good for me also ?? Please I am feeling helpless.

    1. Hi Pooja,Sorry to hear about your situation. Yes this lotion is sensitive and nice. You need a nice heavy moisturiser for your skin so that the skin stays hydrated.
      Why your skin is peeling you need to find an answer. Please see a dermatologist to find the reason.
      Good luck 🙂

    1. cetaphil is very mild so you can use it but it is always advised not to wash face for a couple of hours post bleaching with cleansers as it can cause rashes.

  35. I tried using cinnamon and honey mixture on my skin and it made my skin very red and burning. Can cetaphil lotion helps me to get back my normal skin? Pls suggest m very much worried

    Reply

    1. hi Amrita,
      Cinnamon actually burns the skin if used in excess, do not use more than a pinch in your mixture. Cetaphil will be a great option to use now as it is very mild and will not irritate your skin which is already sensitive. Apply sandalwood powder mixed in rose water, it will sooth your skin also spray avene thermal water 3 times a day.
