Perfect size for keeping in the shower, as can use on face and body too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my dry skin

I still suffer from acne flareups and really dry skin on my face, so I thought I'd give this a try.You do get quite a lot of product in a handy pump bottle. 1 pump does my entire face which is perfect.The consistency is a thin gel which turns to a thick white cream when massaging into the skin.It's really easy to rinse off and leaves my skin really soft and not dried out.I feel as thought this has helped my dry patches and doesn't break me out when using (which is very important for me)I have been using this daily and noticed a difference from the first use which I was surprised with.Overall, I would recommend this face wash.

This cleanser is absolutely amazing. The bottle is huge, there is so much product and so little is needed every wash so I feel like this will last me ages! I have been using it primarily as a face wash but occasionally as a full body wash and my skin has never felt so soft and smooth before! Especially areas where I am prone to acne, like my back and my cheeks, it has worked wonders. My skin hasn't felt dry at all since I started using this, the quality of the product is really good and it feels really good value for money. Overall, I am really pleased with this cleanser!

I love cetaphil products and this cleanser does not disappoint at all. It's really quite hydrating, which I didn't expect from a cleanser with Salicylic Acid. This will work for dry, normal and oily skin. I have normal skin and it's great for keeping my skin refreshed and exfoliated without drying it out and I imagine for those with oily skin, it'll have the added benefit of keeping oil at bay. Fantastic value for a huge bottle that will last me the good part of a year with twice daily use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Generously sized bottle of dual face and body cleanser

C.R. · 19 April 2025

This Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser with salicylic acid comes in a generous 473ml bottle - huge so it will definitely last for ages. It is also a dual cleanser in that it can be used on the face and the body. The formula is fragrance free and has a creamy gel consistency that spreads easily and lathers lightly. It contains salicylic acid along with mandelic acid and gluconolactone, so it exfoliates gently without the need for any rough scrubbing. It’s especially good if you have sensitive skin, as it doesn’t sting or leave my skin feeling tight after use. In fact, my skin actually feels more hydrated and refreshed afterwards, though I still have to follow up with a moisturiser out of habit.I use it mostly in the shower, and whilst I do not have too many bumps, I do have a patch on my upper arms. At the moment, it hasn't cleared up yet but I will need to give it time to see proper results. The pump bottle is very convenient to use. You only need a small amount per use, so it’s lasting me well despite using it every day. I did notice a slight scent when I first used it, but it’s very mild and doesn’t linger, so it hasn’t been a problem for anyone that could be sensitive to scents.

I combined this product with a pair of exfoliating gloves and have been really pleased with the results. Usually when I exfoliate my face, it seems to trigger a breakout rather than preventing it, but using the Cetaphil cleanser as the cleaning product to exfoliate, the salicylic acid must have done its work, and my face didn't break out the next day!After a couple of uses, my skin surface feels smoother and it looks brighter and less rough.After use, my skin actually feels more hydrated, without that tight, stretched feeling, and having removed all of the dead skin, I feel like my other face products have a chance to work better on my skin.This product seems expensive, but you only need a couple of small pumps as it lathers up and goes a long way, so a single bottle is going to last for months so it works out as great value.Definitely a convert to this product.

Really impressed with this product when I wasn’t expecting to be.Considering how big the tub is in comparison to the price, I think it’s reasonably good value. You don’t need much of the product for each application and I reckon I will get over 100 uses.It is fragrance free, so although it doesn’t have a scent, it does smell slightly waxy, but not too strong to really notice. It foams up really easy with wet hands, and is easy to apply and wash off.So far, I’ve used it on my upper arms and as a face wash. On my arms, my skin is less red and rough, and my face is less oily between uses. Importantly, it doesn’t dry or tighten my skin at all, so I can enjoy better skin without realizing.

I have always struggled with dry and bumpy skin, especially on my arms and legs. I tried many products before finding this one. The texture is a creamy gel, not harsh at all. It lathers nicely and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or stripped after rinsing. I use it every other day, as directed. The salicylic acid is gentle enough for daily use but I prefer to give my skin a break in between. I've noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my skin since I started using it. The bumps are less noticeable and my skin feels smoother overall. It's not a miracle cure, but it's made a real difference. It smells clean and fresh, which is a plus. The large bottle is also economical. I've only used a small portion after many weeks.
