Excellente!
I absolutely love this cleanser! It’s gentle enough for daily use but still powerful at keeping breakouts under control. Unlike other salicylic acid cleansers that leave my skin feeling tight or stripped, this one keeps my skin soft, smooth, and hydrated. I noticed fewer breakouts and my pores look much clearer after consistent use.
It’s fragrance-free, doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, and leaves me with that clean, refreshed feeling without over-drying. Honestly, it’s become a staple in my routine and I can’t imagine switching it out anytime soon. Highly recommend for anyone who wants clear, calm, and balanced skin!

Clean and fresh feeling
I’ve been using the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser and I’m really happy with it! The texture is light and it lathers well without being harsh. Since it has salicylic acid, it helps keep my skin smooth and clear, but it’s still gentle enough for daily use. My skin feels fresh, clean, and not stripped after washing.
I also like that it doesn’t have a strong scent and works well even on sensitive skin. After a few days of use, my face already feels softer and looks healthier. Definitely a great everyday cleanser for anyone who wants gentle exfoliation without irritation.

Amazing cleanser
I tried Cetaphil Salicylic acid cleanser and was very surprised with the results even after the first use. It's really easy to use , just pump the required amount of liqued/ gel and add a bit of water so that it's creamy on your face. Give it a good lathering and rinse off ( I used cold water) and pat skin dry. My skin looked and felt amazing even after the first use. It felt soft and smooth and looked glowing. I have used it for 2 weeks, and my skin looms amazing, attracting a few comments from friends. I have to be honest and say the fragrance is a bit clinical, but I didn't even notice it after a while. It's nuw my new go-to cleanser.

Better than I imagined
I suffer from small white spots and lines on my forehead and wanted to specifically test this product to see if it makes a difference. It's fairly expensive if you use it twice a day, however it was worth it. The texture is quite unusual to me, it has a very mild grainy feel and feels moisturising when applied and then washed off. I was worried my face wouldn't feel clean and would have a breakout. I was wrong, it has improved my forehead and my chin, which can get greasy at certain times of the month, seems clearer. I'm going to carry on using it and see the longer term results, however after just two weeks I can definitely see a difference.

Gently exfoliate skin
I’ve noticed a subtle but significant improvement in the smoothness of my skin since using this product. My skin feels noticeably softer and smoother, and I no longer need to rely on a face scrub to exfoliate. This has been a huge time-saver, especially when getting ready in the morning. I also don’t have to worry about my skin feeling rough or uneven, which is fantastic for applying makeup. In fact, I’ve been able to skip using a makeup base altogether, as my skin's texture is now smooth enough to apply foundation directly. Overall, I’m really impressed with how this product has improved my skin’s texture and made my makeup routine simpler.

Okay but expected something more
Okay, but expected more.
Catephil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser - after first use I felt freshness on my face. I felt my skin is really clean. I thought it will be great for my skin. Not greasy, does not leave a noticeable greasy film on the skin. Refreshing skin. I don't see any visual difference in the appearance of my skin after 2 weeks use. Cleanser has strange chemical smell but it doesn't bother me that much. The skin is smoother to the touch and is not tightened.
It is very efficient and lasts for a long time. I used maybe 1/3 of the 236 ml bottle for over 2 weeks. I don't think I will buy it again but it was worth trying something different.

Cleanser that lathers well
I’ve used this cleanser for over a week now and really love it. Just one pump is needed each time. I like to wet my face and pump the cleanser into my hands then lather up the cleanser into foam before massaging my face with the foam and cleaning in circular motions for 1 minute before rinsing. The cleanser foams really well and the lather is a creamy foam with small bubbles that is the perfect consistency for me. I use this on my face and neck and also on my back where there are acne spots. The cleansing has salicylic acid which is great at cleansing and exfoliating. My skin feels softer and brighter and even the skin on my back is improving

Another great Cetaphil product!
I have used the OG Cetaphil face wash for a few years now and was excited to try their Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser Face and Body wash! The product comes in an easy to use pump bottle similar to their other products, very easy to use. It contains Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid and PHA, these help encourage a smooth exfoliating experience. It does what it says on the tin, it left my face body feeling smooth and healthy. The product is also fragrance free (we don’t need fragrance in face and body washes!) Another plus is that you only need a small amount so it will last. I would recommend Cetaphil products and I’m very happy with this product.
