Cetaphil, marvellous stuff

[Zanzibaragain]

This simple, cheap cleanser has revolutionised my skin.
What was once, dry and oily, flaky, sore, rosacea, thread veins, lines, wrinkles, dull, is NOW soft, Dewey, supple, glowing and velvet to touch.

Can't believe it has taken me 40 years to find out about Cetaphil.
I have spent a fortune on eve lom, dermalogica,Estée Lauder etc etc etc what a waste of money when all My skin needed was a cheap bottle of basic cleanser.

Just had to share.

Is this the correct thing? It says it's a hand wash?

Thanks Deux and Coumarin, only just seen this thread again myself! I have been using the hibiscrub for a few days now, I've been putting it on wet skin so will try it on dry.

Behoove that's the one, it says it is for hands but that's in a hospital setting. I got it in Boots and was warned that the label instructs you to not let it get in contact with the brain

Love Cetaphil cleanser. My local asda was selling the big bottles of the cleanser and moisturiser off for £1 each! Got about 10 years worth I always use the cleanser but only use the moisturiser if I have the odd breakout as I still swear by astral for everyday.

I like CeraVe too MooMinCow. It lasts forever. I can't use sodium lauryl sulphate, which Cetaphil contains. I also use plain old Baby wash occasionally. It's very mild.

Also a hibiscrub fan, changed my skin so dramatically I don't have to wear foundation anymore.

I use mine day and night straight from the bottle wait 5 or so mins after rinsing off then apply moisturiser.

You can use Hibiscrub on pets too! My vet gave me a bottle to treat my cat's bite wounds after he got into a fight and a scab on his face became infected. I've used it several times (diluted) on bite wounds now and it really helps speed up the healing.

Hi everyone. I have recently started working on Cetaphil through my work and it’s great to see so many positive comments. I have sensitive skin and use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It really does miracles for dry sensitive skin.

Just to let you know, there will be a big stand at Westfield shopping centre, East London, this weekend (from 11am on Sat 11th and Sunday 12th) where you can collect free sample bottles of the cleanser and moisturiser and have a free skin consultation. There’ll also be a similar stand set up at Leicester High Cross shopping centre on the 18th and 19th October. Hope you find this useful! x

Hibiscrub is what they give you in hospital to shower in if you are MRSA positive!

[VenusRising]

I so dear what using the solution to treat MRSA everyday will do if you have a real bug you can't shift? I hope we don't build up resistance, like overuse of antibiotics taken orally.

I found Cetaphil gave me blocked pores, and I ended up looking like I'd been people dashed. Took months for my skin to clear out, and I still have a lumpy bump on my forehead still from it.
I used the Cetaphil for oily combination skin when I lived in the US, and it worked much better, but it's not available in the UK.

Acne.org website and regimen was my saviour, with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide applied every night after washing and moisturising. I use a salicylic acid toner also- Clinique 3 or 4.

I so hope autocorrect gorn mad!

Omg, pebble dashed people dashed would be very bad news indeed

I've been using cetaphil for some months now and highly recommend .
I use it to remove face/eye make up. Smooth on, wipe off then repeat
only this time I rinse off with water. Think I'm the only 58 year old to be
battling the signs of ageing AND breakouts.
I have used expensive cleansers in the past, but for my sensitive/troubled
skin this one's a keeper.
