CetaphilFace Wash, 236ml, PRO Cleansing Facial Wash, For Sensitive & Redness Prone Skin

Very nice. Soft and gentle. Expensive though

This is now my favourite face wash. I have rosacea and was looking for an alternative to trying to get a Dr appointment for a prescription. It reduces the redness and puffiness in my face really well. My skin looks the healthiest it has in years since using this and it's results were almost instant for me. I did get a couple of spots/zits when I first used it but read that this does happen as your skin adjusts so kept using it; I'm glad I did! It is a bit pricey for a face wash but if you have redness prone or rosacea skin, it is worth the investment. I also have really sensitive skin and eczema and I'm allergic to most things, but didn't react to this. I will say that it does have a very strong smell, (despite supposedly being perfume free) which I like but others may not. One thing I'm allergic to is perfumes and I don't react to this so I don't know how they scented it so strongly but kept it so gentle. I also find that it makes my face feel so clean and fresh after using it, which I love.

Feels really nice, Not sure it does much for reducing redness but doesn't aggravate my skin, so I'm happy with that.

I have just been diagnosed with rosacea on my face. Angry red lumpy cheeks when I get a flare up. This face wash has a soft foamy texture that smells lush, almost sweetie like. Washung my face now feels like I'm getting a thorough good clean without harsh chemicals stripping away the goodness. My partner has noticed a difference in the redness being reduced and the lumps less visible.

I've learnt that my skin is just very sensitive and I have to be careful in how I care for it just to maintain some semblance of presentability. Naturally I'm always looking for a better product and as it's marketed as being for sensitive skin and helping with redness, this seemed like a natural product. On the plus side, I liked the scent, it foamed nicely and there's no question it leaves my skin clean - the trouble is that I think it's just a bit too strong and it soon became clear that it wasn't agreeing with me. I reverted to my previous brand and things improved. I used this is in exactly the same way - the lightest possible touch etc, but it basically didn't help with the redness and arguably made my skin look worse, so I discontinued after a week. It's a very personal thing so who knows, someone with less sensitive skin may find it suits them better.

Purchased this October 2024, here in May 2025 still dealing with the after effects of using this product no more than a few times. This product gave me perioral dermatitis that took months to heal with the right treatment. Some of it entered my nostrils whilst washing my face and caused horrific dryness and infection, still dealing with this issue to this day. I have no idea what ingredient in this product caused this but I don't recommend.

I usually react to all face products but I didn't react to this. Very gentle on the skin.
