Cetaphil Skincare Review | Finding Non-Irritant Skincare For Eczema Prone Skin

Cetaphil is a brand which caters for sensitive skin. It’s main selling point is how gentle the products are. I got these samples from my parents who had picked them up somewhere. As I have sensitive and eczema prone skin I was excited to try these out.

The first product is the Gentle Skin Cleanser. This is another foaming in water cleanser but a lot more affordable than the Clinique one I tried. It comes as a thick gel substance which doesn’t lather up too much when washing. When I used the cleanser I didn’t really feel anything which is good for my sensitive skin. My skin also did feel clean without feeling oily or dry which can sometimes happen with cleansers.

Next we have the Moisturising Cream. This is meant for your body rather than face according to the website. I tried it on both, because it’s a handy sample size for me to pop in my bag. It works well to moisturise without making my skin feel greasy or oily. It’s formula is similar to most handcreams and it soaks into the skin quite fast. I also tried it on a patch of eczema on my elbow, which has completely gone down now.

Then we have the Moisturising Lotion. This is for your face and comes as a very thick substance, similar to the cleanser but white. Similar to the cream it worked really well to moisturise without making my skin too oily. It also soaked in fast, but I did find it sat on my skin for longer than the cream. So I accidentally put my foundation on over it a bit early a couple of times.

Overall Cetaphil is a wonderful brand for my sensitive skin. The one thing of note is that there’s no ingredient which is solely to target acne, which is something I need a lot. Therefore I probably wouldn’t use the cleanser but I would definitely buy the Moisturing Cream for my face and body.
