How to use the Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser:
While the Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser is suitable for all skin types, it is optimal for dry-to-normal and sensitive skin. Oily skin produces excess sebum and benefits from cleansers designed to remove oil without disrupting the skin barrier. For oily skin, you might want to try DermaControl Oil Removing Foam Wash. This gentle foam wash provides a deep cleanse, helping reduce excess sebum and improve the appearance of pores.
The Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser is dermatologist-tested and suited for use on all skin types. While it features a gentle, cleansing formula for sensitive skin, acne-prone skin has different needs.
The Cetaphil Gentle Clear range is specially designed for acne-prone skin. Like all Cetaphil products, it is dermatologist-tested and it also helps visibly improve the look of blemish-prone skin, supporting a calm, healthy-looking complexion. Try the Cetaphil Gentle Clear Pore Clearing Acne Cleanser, formulated with an Advanced Moisture Blend and 2% salicylic acid to help visibly improve skin texture and support a healthy-looking complexion as part of your skincare routine.
Both the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and the Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser are products designed for everyday use on normal to dry and sensitive skin. However, they differ in texture, ingredients, and the experience they offer. The Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a creamy, non-foaming formula ideal for those who prefer a minimal, no-lather cleanse. In contrast, the Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser creates a light, airy foam that some people find more refreshing or satisfying to use.
The Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser features glycerin, panthenol(vitamin B5), and niacinamide (vitamin B3). Niacinamide is a popular skincare ingredient that helps support smoother- and clearer-looking skin, making it a great choice for maintaining smooth, balanced skin.
While the Gentle Foaming Cleanser also includes glycerin and panthenol to hydrate and soothe, it features tocopherol (vitamin E) instead of niacinamide. Tocopherol provides antioxidant benefits, helping reinforce your skin’s natural barrier, while it helps nourish and hydrate it - all while the light foam effectively removes excess oil and impurities without stripping your skin.
Ultimately, the choice comes down to your skin's needs and your personal preference - whether you enjoy the smooth glide of a gentle gel or the lightness of a foam.
