    I'm in my 60's and still occasionally have blemishes. I tried using the Cetaphil with 2% Salicylic Acid but it left my face red and feeling slightly burnt. This one does not do that at all and makes my face feel smooth, soft and refreshed without any redness or burning. It also does a fantastic job clearing up any complexion issues as well. High recommend for sensitive skin!

    This face wash has helped my oiliness and definitely has stopped incoming breakouts. Mind you, I have been on medication in the past for severe hormonal acne. I stopped using the medication, it completely changed my skin so it hasn’t been nearly as bad but I do get breakouts at times. I can’t say if this will help severe acne but if you have oily skin I would definitely use this. If you have combination skin like me, I would use this every other day or so because it can be a bit too drying. This would be a perfect face wash for summer if you get more greasy during those months like I do. I tend to get more dry in the winter so this isn’t an everyday thing for me. If you need something for every day that isn’t drying, this may not be for you. The smell is super chemically and texture is more watery than I’m used to but besides that, it has helped. I was questioning this purchase and im not disappointed, hope you find this helpful 🤎

    Scent: UnscentedSize: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    For years I’ve been using a 10% micronized benzoyl peroxide treatment cream (different brand) for contact treatment— meaning I leave on a few minutes before rinsing /washing off) and it’s been going well but I thought this would be even gentler as well as easier and cheaper. Wasn’t the case.

    Foremost it made my skin look kinda reddish and unhappy, and my skin texture looked worse in a weird way. I also only need to use BP in the particular areas where I get whiteheads, but found it messy to try to limit this cleanser to those areas while using my regular cleanser for the rest. It’s surprising to me that my 10% treatment cream irritates my skin less than this 2.5% cleanser, but I assume something else in the ingredients doesn’t suit me.

    I used to use and love many Cetaphil products but in the past 5 or so years it seems Cetaphil has made some changes and sadly now no product I try of theirs sits well with me for some reason. I hope they do another revision and go back to their older formulations

    If you find other benzoyl peroxide washes too drying, make your skin sensitive after you wash, etc this is the one for you. It's a bit small size but you only need like a nickel size amount. I would use a makeup remover first if you are using this at the end of the day, it is not really a all in one wash. As I guy, I don't really wear makeup so this is perfect for me. Good size to take traveling (in checked luggage), never had it spill out of the packaging, skin feels soft and calm afterwards! I use before differin and a moisturizer at night. Never discontinue this Cetaphil!
