Its deep cleansing, gentle formula includes a new blend of key ingredients such as hydrating glycerin, panthenol (vitamin B5) and niacinamide (vitamin B3), which all work together to help to minimize the appearance of pores and reinforce your skin’s moisture barrier.
To use Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, follow these steps:
- Wet your face with warm water.

- Gently massage the cleanser onto your face in a circular motion, avoiding the eye area.

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser comes in two versions. One is formulated with added fragrances. However, if you love the clinically proven deep clean of Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, but don't want the fragrance, try Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser Fragrance Free, which is a good choice for people who are sensitive to scents in skincare. Both cleansers are paraben free, hypoallergenic, and won't clog pores.
Cetaphil Facial Cleansers are not specifically formulated for acne-prone skin. However, their non-irritating, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic formula, which is free of any parabens or fragrance, makes them suitable for acne-prone skin. It's formulated to remove excess oil and dirt without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier. In addition, it can help to alleviate dryness, a common skin concern associated with some acne treatments.
However, if you have acne, it's better to use products that are specifically formulated for acne-prone skin. You may prefer using one of the Cetaphil products that have been directly tailored to managing acne-prone skin, such as Cetaphil Gentle Clear Complexion - Clearing BPO Acne Cleanser or Cetaphil Gentle Clear Clarifying Acne Cream Cleanser.
Yes, you can use Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser on your body, but it may not be the most cost-effective option if you're using it solely for that purpose. This gentle cleanser is specifically formulated for the face, but it can be used on other areas of the body that are prone to dryness or irritation, such as the chest or back.
If you're looking for a body wash that's specifically formulated for the skin on your body, you may want to explore the Cetaphil range of gentle bars and body washes.
Yes, you can use Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser once or twice a day, as this gentle cleanser is designed for daily use and is suitable for most skin types - even the most sensitive skin. It's gentle enough to use every day for deep cleaning and won't strip your skin of its natural oils while effectively removing dirt, excess oils and makeup
However, it’s important to not over-wash your face, as natural oils are essential for healthy-looking skin. As with any skincare product, it's important to pay attention to how your skin reacts and adjust your routine as needed.
"When it comes to cleansers, I look for a formula that effectively cleanses the skin of all dirt, oil, and debris without stripping its skin of its natural oils. Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Cleanser is that perfect balance. It provides a deep cleanse while adding hydration to the skin with nourishing ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, and glycerin."
