Cetaphil is a global, multi award winning skincare brand which has been providing their products and helping people care for their skin for over 70 years now. Cetaphil offers a gentle and simple skincare routine with their specifically designed range for sensitive skin, including both cleansers and moisturisers. When I first got into skincare, I kept looking for a good cleanser that would work well with my sensitive skin. Lately, I have been obsessed with my Kylie Skin foaming cleanser, however I used Cetaphil before I discovered Kylie's and I did really enjoy it.
Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser is said to be specially formulated to provide effective, gentle skincare to help your skin look and feel its best. It is fragrance free and non-comedogenic meaning it won't block your pores. Cetaphil's Cleanser cleanses, moisturises and gently removes what your skin doesn't need, without disturbing the skin's natural pH balance. It's recommended for all skin types including sensitive skin and to use not only on your face but also on your hands and entire body.
After not having the best luck with my No7 foaming cleanser, I was desperate of a good cleanser that wouldn't irritate my skin. I read a lot about Cetaphil and finally decided to give it a go. I found this cleanser to do exactly what it claims - it's super gentle especially if you have sensitive skin like me. It fully removes all of your makeup and doesn't leave your skin feeling dry at all. My face always felt soft and super clean after each use. The only reason I stopped using this is because I really enjoy my Kylie Skin foaming cleanser, however this is definitely way more affordable and it's the next best cleanser I would personally recommend.
I always appreciate a good moisturiser with the highest SPF possible because I am very pale and therefore need as much protection from the sun as possible. Cetaphil's Daily Defence Moisturiser claims to be light-weight and easily absorbed. It hydrates skin and provides very high, broad-spectrum UVA/B photoprotection to help defend skin against the effects of daily exposure to the sunlight and help skin maintain its natural protective barrier. It's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Similarly to the cleanser, the moisturiser is also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic as well as dermatologist tested.
I really like the fact that this moisturiser is SPF50 because that's the high protection I always look for in my moisturisers. I found this sunscreen to be very light and just as it's described, it absorbs really quickly. I had no problem wearing it under my makeup or alone - it spreads easily on your face and you can apply makeup on top of it without any issues. My skin is very sensitive and I had no bad reactions to it. The only thing I could complain about is the size of this product. It comes in 50ml which is quite small comparing to my other sunscreens that are much more affordable. However, if your skin is really sensitive and you want a moisturiser that won't break you out, definitely check out Cetaphil's products!
Final Thoughts
My experience with Cetaphil's products has been very positive, my skin had no bad reactions to their products and it's something I would consider repurchasing. I'm not sure in which countries except the UK you can purchase Cetaphil's products from but if you do come across them I would definitely recommend you to try them out.
