Cetaphil Cleansers & Moisturizers for the Face and Body

While I neither have Rosacea nor Eczema, I do understand why many who do use Cetaphil products. They are super gentle on even the most irritated skin, they are soothing, and they are fragrance free. Years ago, my sister and I simultaneously were having issues with sensitive and irritated skin, with the added frustration of some breakouts, and we pulled the plug on all of our high-end department store skincare products and started using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Lotion, and both did wonders for our irritated skin. In fact, these products were instrumental in healing our skin, and since that time I have almost always had a bottle of their cleanser and lotion on hand. Additionally, since I began blogging I have sought refuge in these products when I have had a negative reaction to products that I am testing. 

Here are five ultra gentle Cetaphil products that I have been using lately:

1) Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (Suggested Retail: $13.99 for 16 oz. from Amazon, Drugstore.com,  ULTA, Walgreens and Target): This is the very cleanser that I began using years ago, and it remains a staple when my skin needs a break after a product skin reaction. It is a lightweight, non-foaming, gel that effortlessly sweeps away dirt, cleans thoroughly and never strips the skin. It feels soothing, and my skin always feels hydrated and balanced afterward.

According to Cetaphil,

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a mild, non-irritating formulation that soothes skin as it cleans. In fact, it's gentle enough for a baby's delicate skin. Designed specifically to work for all skin types, it is a simple, yet highly effective way to care for your skin.

Features:
• As gentle as it gets — soothes and cleanses, leaving skin smooth and soft.
• Mild, soap-free formula cleanses without irritation — it won’t strip skin of its natural protective oils or emollients.
• Moisturizes without leaving residue that can clog pores.
• Good for special skin needs including those of rosacea-prone skin.

Directions for use without water: Apply a liberal amount of cleanser to the skin and rub gently. Remove excess with a soft cloth, leaving a thin film on the skin.

Directions for use with water: Apply cleanser to the skin and rub gently. Rinse.

Ingredients: Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Stearyl Alcohol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben.

2) Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 (Suggested Retail: $16.99 for 4 oz. from Amazon, Drugstore.com, ULTA, Walgreens and Target): This is an ultra lightweight and fast absorbing lotion that leaves my skin soft, supple and moisturized. The fragrance-free formula is non-irritating, and has never caused my combination skin to breakout. I do, however, use an additional sunscreen since I prefer using a higher SPF on a daily basis.

According to Cetaphil,

Under your makeup or after shaving, Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15 is a gentle moisturizer suitable for all skin types. Daily use improves your skin's ability to retain vital moisture.

Features:
• Light, silky-smooth facial moisturizer leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated
• Protects against damaging UVA and UVB rays that can cause premature lines and wrinkles
• Improves skin’s ability to retain vital moisture without clogging pores
• Non-irritating, fragrance-free

Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Children under 6 months: ask a doctor.

3) Cetaphil Cleansing Cloths (Suggested Retail: $7.49 for 25 cloths from Amazon, Drugstore.com, ULTA, Walgreens and Target): I absolutely love cleansing cloths to remove makeup, and these are probably the most gentle that I have tried. Each cloth is ultra soft and gentle against the skin, and they don't irritate my sensitive eyes in the least bit. Not only do they remove all of my makeup effortlessly, but they also leave my skin soft and moisturized– rather than stripped.

According to Cetaphil,

4) Cetaphil RestoraDerm Eczema Calming Body Wash (Suggested Retail: $17.79 for 10 oz. from Amazon, Drugstore.com, ULTA, Walgreens and Target): I absolutely love this body wash! It is an ultra-gentle soap-free cleanser that has a satisfying lather. It neither strips the skin, nor does it leave behind a residue, but instead it gently and thoroughly cleanses the skin. My skin is left soft, supple and moisturized.
