Cream to Foam Face Wash, Hydrating Foaming Cream Cleanser, 16 oz, For Normal to Dry, Sensitive Skin, with Soothing Prebiotic Aloe, Hypoallergenic, Fragrance Free

I’ve been using this Cetaphil Hydrating Foaming Cream Cleanser for a while now, and I’m really impressed with how soft and smooth it leaves my skin. The texture feels creamy when applied and turns into a light foam as you massage it in, which makes it easy to spread without drying out the face. I have normal to dry, somewhat sensitive skin, and this cleanser has worked beautifully — no irritation, no tightness, and no redness after washing. It removes dirt, oil, and even light makeup without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier. My skin feels clean but still hydrated afterward, which is hard to find in most cleansers. The formula is fragrance-free and very gentle, so it’s great for anyone who’s sensitive to strong scents or harsh ingredients. I also love that it contains soothing prebiotic aloe, which gives a nice calming feel after a long day. A little goes a long way — one pump is enough for the whole face, so the 16 oz bottle should last quite a while. The pump dispenser is convenient and hygienic, too. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this cleanser if you’re looking for something mild, hydrating, and dermatologist-recommended. It’s perfect for daily use and keeps my skin feeling soft, refreshed, and healthy. I’ll be repurchasing for sure!

The Cetaphil Cream to Foam Face Wash is perfect for normal to dry, sensitive skin. It starts as a creamy texture and foams lightly, cleansing thoroughly without stripping or drying out my skin. My skin feels clean, soft, and hydrated after every use, with no tightness or irritation. I love that it’s fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and includes soothing prebiotic aloe, which really helps keep my skin calm and balanced. This is a reliable, everyday cleanser I keep coming back to. Great for anyone who wants gentle but effective cleansing.

I just learned I’ve been using the wrong type of cleanser for my skin for like 25 years and turning my face into a dry, tight, incredibly flaky mess. Switched to this, and along with a swap out of crap lotion to proper facial moisturizer, it has resulted in a complete transformation of my skin and my life. I went from my face constantly flaking around the nose and t-zone to perfectly happy skin in about a week.

feels good on face. soothing. moisturizing. Great value for money. def getting it again

I like that this cleanser comes in two sizes-the big 16 oz. size which lasts quite awhile and an 8 oz. size that is good for travel, like road trips and overnight stays (it is easier to pack than the large size). If you are new to this cleanser you might consider purchasing the 8 oz size until you know how your skin will respond, tolerate the cleanser or react. Should the cleanser work out you can always purchase a larger size later. This is a white creamy lotion type cleanser. It states foaming cream cleanser on the bottle but foaming is left to interpretation. It isn't a real sudsy type lather more like a creamy emulsion that covers the skin. It contains glycerin and aloe that are supposed to help hydrate. I still use some type of moisturizer after cleansing. Of course it is entirely up to you what to use after cleansing-different skin types have different needs or requirements. As for makeup removal I prefer to use micellar water or a makeup tissue to remove most of my makeup (when I wear it) prior to cleansing, so the cleanser doesn't have so much makeup to break down. By removing most of my makeup first the cleanser can get to my skin better and remove pore clogging debris better--plus I don't have a gunky layer of cleanser and dissolving makeup on my face. It doesn't remove long wearing transfer resistant lipstick that well-I use vaseline or cold cream and smear on my lips then remove with a tissue prior to cleansing. I have older, mature skin and this cleaner is suggested for dry to normal skin and I have had no difficulty using it, although rate of response, sensitivities and reactions can vary from person to person. You have to be the judge of that. It states it is fragrance-free and I am sensitive to smells as I have nasal allergies/rhinitis, it smells rather bland/neutral. I asked my husband for his take on the smell and he responded, "not much." For me it is an economical way to keep my face clean and is paraben and dye-free.
