Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser, Foaming Gel Cleanser for All Skin Types, 8 Oz Pump Bottle, Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid & Gluconolactone, Gently Exfoliates, Dermatologist Recommended Brand

If you've been using Cetaphil's classic Gentle Skin Cleanser and feel like it just isn't doing enough for your skin, this Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser is the perfect next step. It maintains everything that makes Cetaphil a trusted brand — the mild, non-irritating formula, suitability for sensitive skin, and dermatologist backing — while adding the exfoliating power that many people need for a truly thorough cleanse. The Salicylic Acid (SA) in the formula provides gentle chemical exfoliation that helps clear out clogged pores, remove dead skin buildup, and smooth skin texture over time. Unlike physical scrubs that can be abrasive, this one works without any harsh gritty sensation. The foaming gel lathers nicely and rinses clean, leaving skin feeling fresh and noticeably smoother without any tightness or dryness afterward. I made the switch after feeling like my regular gentle cleanser wasn't addressing my skin texture and occasional breakouts effectively enough. The difference was noticeable within the first week of consistent use — my skin looked cleaner, felt smoother, and my pores appeared less congested. It's suitable for daily use and doesn't over-strip the skin, which was my concern when switching to a cleanser with an active ingredient. The 16 oz pump bottle is great value and very convenient for daily use at the sink. The pump dispenses a controlled amount so the product lasts a long time. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Cetaphil but wants more cleansing efficacy, or for anyone with oily, combination, or congestion-prone skin looking for a gentle but effective daily cleanser with exfoliating benefits.

I love cetaphil. It’s not harsh on the skin it could form a little better but it gets the job done. I’ve used and so does my 13yr old. It seems to be doing the job on the teenager. It’s not over or underpriced. It suits for the market unlike other skin products. Very simple and you see results. Its fragrance free which is a plus and it doesn’t leave the skin dry especially if you follow up with its lotion

UPDATE: It's been almost a month and between my husband and I both using it 2 times sometimes 3 times a week we've only used a quarter of the bottle! I'd say this could probably last up to three months depending how often and how much you use. I highly suggest! I just recently started using this and I love it!. It's super gentle on my face and it makes my face feel nice and refreshed. It doesn't really have a smell to it. At least I don't think so. I think it just smells like soap. I don't really see this foaming up in any way as I've rubbed it between my hands and on my face and I've never really seen any bubbles lather up. It's almost like a Milky color and you don't really need a lot to feel like it works. I had a lot of acne when I first bought this and after using it for a little bit I've noticed all of my acne is gone. It's really cleared up my face and I have super sensitive skin. Anything will break me out and make me oily. It doesn't dry out my face but I like to pair it with a rose water witch hazel toner to close off my pores and remove any leftover impurities in my skin. It leaves my skin feeling super soft and vibrant. It definitely exfoliates your face. I probably use it two times a week so I'm unsure how long a bottle will last me.

I've used 2% SA before and it burned my skin something awful. My skin is so sensitive from decades of sun damage and skin trauma. It is extremely sensitive. Luckily the other major brand was unavailable so I purchased the Cetaphil 8oz then realized the 16oz is a better deal. Tried to cancel but too late so I ordered the 16oz anyway because it said it would arrive next day also and I could refuse or return the 8oz. Well a few hours after purchasing the 16oz the delivery time changed to 2 days and I needed it next day so when the 8oz arrived early in the morning the next day I took the hand off from delivery because that's how much I need that extra kick from the SA before hyaluronic acid and then moisturizing right after use. No fragrance at all but that doesn't mean it has no smell to it. These are chemicals in a plastic container but it's hardly noticeable. This one did not burn or irritate my face whatsoever like the 2% but you can tell whatever the amount it's very effective. It's cost less then other like products and one drop from a perfectly functional pump bottle on wet hands foams right up. A little does go a long way. I also applied a little more than a drop to a wet face, head and neck. Immediately helped clean off any impurities from skin and it washes right off. I use it before shower just makes things so much easier. I will also keep the 16oz because I know it works great and it doesn't irritate. I took off 1 star because I paid like over 50% more for the 8oz and couldn't cancel because it was "in transit" and shipping date changed for the 16oz. Cetaphil has become my goto brand. The pump bottles work great compared to the squeeze because it's so much easier to control the amount you dispense. When it gets low I just mix in a little bottled water to get it all out.

I've been using this unscented, low foam face cleanser for a while now, and I’m really impressed. The salicylic acid formulation doesn't dry out my skin, which is a big plus. After each use, my face feels thoroughly clean and refreshed, not tight and dry. I use it twice a day, and so far, it’s been great! I only wear waterproof mascara and it comes right off w this SA cleanser. I’ll update my review in two months with more specifics. * I don't wear makeup so I can't comment on make up removal.

True to claim, gently exfoliates skin after one use. I have a sensitive skin and I was so scared to try exfoliating products because most exfoliating products contain ingredients that causes irritation to sensitive skin. This is the first ever exfoliating cleanser I've used and I am so happy to discover this. My sister is wondering because my acne have gone away, it's less than a week since we've seen each other. Thanks to this cleanser. I feel more confident. It's very effective, and very gentle to the skin. It has a mild scent which I don't mind at all. I use this every evening after I exercise, your skin will thank you the next day.

This has been the first cleanser I have use that has helped me with my darks spots between my legs. Yes it takes two full bottles to see results mine last me almost two months but this stuff works. Better than vitamin c serum or other products. No fragrance so you can use it any where in the body without irritation.

Easy to use and very gentle on the skin. It has a smooth, non-granular texture, which I really like. Works well as a daily nighttime face cleanser without feeling harsh or irritating.
