Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser is the oily-skin counterpart to the brand's famous gentle cleanser — it removes surface oil and makeup properly, without the tight, squeaky finish that pushes oily skin into producing even more sebum.

The formula is soap-free and fragrance-free with a light lather. That combination is unusual: most cleansers made for oily skin rely on harsh surfactants, which is exactly what causes the rebound oiliness people complain about.

How to use: massage a small amount into damp skin, then rinse with lukewarm water. Morning and evening. In the evening, use after an oil cleanser if you wear makeup or sunscreen.

Frequently asked questions

Will it dry out my skin?
No. It is formulated to clean oily skin without stripping it — that balance is what it is known for.

Does it treat acne?
It cleans without aggravating breakouts, but it contains no active acne ingredient. Pair it with a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide treatment for that.

How is it different from the Gentle Skin Cleanser?
This one lathers lightly and is made for normal to oily skin. The Gentle Skin Cleanser does not foam and is for normal to dry skin.
