Rated 4 out of 5 by CDS0512 from Am really enjoying this I was looking for a very gentle way to introduce salicylic acid into my skin care routine and this wash off cleanser is it! I love how it contains a very minimalist ingredient list and the cleanser feels super hydrating on my skin. It does not have any drying effects and it really helps smooth your skin instantly. I cannot give feedback yet on its effects on acne (have only been using 1 week) but so far, no adverse reactions or irritation which is always a concern for my super sensitive, acne prone combination skin. I am really enjoying this product- I just wish it was a tad easer to lather up.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Randz57 from Good not foamy enough Right off the bat, I liked the cooling effect after washing off the cleanser and pat drying my skin. The only complaint is the product is hard to extract from the tube. It’s very thick and it doesn’t break up in the water to form a foam while gently washing the face. The scent is very medicinal even though it says it’s fragrance free. I’d reformulate the viscosity and add a fresh green scent just for us who like a little scent while washing our faces. I’d like to see a toner and acne mask, too!

Rated 4 out of 5 by jessicar15 from I need to start I need to start saying that my skin is relatively sensitive and it’s a mix between dry and oily. First time using this cleanser I felt my skin dry and flaky in some spots (around nose and forehead) but nothing too much, other than that I felt like my skin was very clean and fresh and paired with the moisturizer makes it 100% because it actually gets the moisture back! So I would say, both need to be used together - in my case. I’ve been using it 3 times a week so it doesn’t over dry my skin, plus moisturizer every night! I love results so far!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from love the texture of love the texture of this cleanser, it feels like a really high-end jelly cleanser. this would probably be a great product with someone who has very oily acne-prone skin. However, for me it was way too drying for my combination skin and with subsequent use, I started to break out because of that. If you have combination skin, you might be able to get the benefits by using this just once a week. I'd probably stay away from it if you have dry skin. It also smells kind of like paint primer, which isn't terrible but also not my favorite.

Rated 1 out of 5 by manda_allstars from Not for me. I Not for me. I used to use Cetaphil for years, stopped, and picked it back up again recently under doctor’s orders. I tried this out, and though I love the regular face wash from Cetaphil, this one wasn’t for me. The texture was quite odd and never really spread correctly, even when mixed with water. Think of it as the texture of boogers....being spread on your face. I also experienced significantly more zits while using this. Maybe I need to give it more time, but I’ve already stopped using it and don’t plan on risking it again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by jackieb26 from This cleanser did an This cleanser did an okay job at keeping my skin clear. I have been using a face wash with benzoyl peroxide in it before this and it was keeping my skin clear and feeling amazing; even worked wonders on my chest and shoulders. With this salicylic acid cleanser I noticed that some of my small irritation acne/white heads around my jaw line and chin came back, and my shoulders weren’t as clear. The consistency of the cleanser is also odd to me, I was trying to work it into my hands with water or even onto my face and it just kept sliding into the crevices of my fingers and not dissolving well. I also noticed that it made my skin feel dry even after I applied the rest of my skincare. I’m sure this would work great for others but it won’t be my go to face wash.

Rated 4 out of 5 by stacis8 from I was pretty impressed I was pretty impressed with this cleanser. You get a lot of product versus what you actually use on a daily basis. The consistency is very soft more like a gel then I’ll lotion consistency. It did not dry my skin out whatsoever even before putting lotion on and I did not have any redness or tightness of my face because it did not dry it out. I did not have any adverse reactions and overall I think this is a pretty great cleanser because I noticed that it also stripped extra make up that was left behind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from I am usually skeptical I am usually skeptical of cream cleansers, I like when cleansers foam more. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I did have a pretty significant breakout in the first two weeks after I started using this, but that just shows that it was working and clearing out my pores. I use this once in the morning when I wake up, and my skin has been fairly clear since the initial breakout cleared up. My skin hasn’t dried out at all either. I will likely continue to use this!
