CETAPHIL GENTLE EXFOLIATING CLEANSER 178 ml

Description

The CETAPHIL GENTLE EXFOLIATING CLEANSER 178 ml is a facial cleanser designed for daily use across all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its primary function is to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and impurities, to reveal a smoother and more radiant complexion.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

• Gentle Exfoliation: It uses micro-fine particles (often bamboo extract) to physically buff away dead surface skin cells. Unlike harsher scrubs, it’s formulated to be gentle enough for daily use without causing irritation or over-drying.
• Cleansing Action: Effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities, contributing to clearer skin.
• Skin-Nourishing Ingredients: Often enriched with ingredients like:
  • Pro-vitamin B5 (Panthenol): Known for its moisturizing and soothing properties, helping to maintain skin hydration and reduce irritation.
  • Vitamin E (Tocopherol): An antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage.
  • Glycerin: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated.
• Maintains Skin pH: It’s formulated to respect the skin’s natural pH balance, which is crucial for a healthy skin barrier.
• Non-Comedogenic: Designed not to clog pores, making it suitable for those prone to breakouts.
• Defends Against 5 Signs of Skin Sensitivity: Cetaphil products are generally formulated to address dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier.
• Dermatologist-Tested: Clinically tested for gentleness and effectiveness.
• Fragrance-Free (often) and Paraben-Free: Reduces the risk of irritation for sensitive skin.

Benefits:

• Smoother Skin Texture: Helps to refine the skin’s surface by removing dull, dead cells.
• Increased Radiance: Reveals brighter, healthier-looking skin.
• Improved Skin Tone: Can contribute to a more even complexion over time.
• Gentle Enough for Daily Use: Offers the benefits of exfoliation without the harshness that can sometimes accompany it.

How to Use:

1. Wet your face with lukewarm water.
2. Apply a small amount of the cleanser to your damp skin.
3. Gently massage in circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
5. Pat your face dry with a soft towel.
6. It can typically be used once or twice daily, but if you experience any dryness or irritation, reduce the frequency of use.

Important Note: While marketed as “gentle” and suitable for sensitive skin, some individuals with extremely reactive or sensitized skin might still find any form of physical exfoliation (even gentle micro-fine beads) too stimulating. If you have very sensitive skin, it’s always wise to patch test first or consult with a dermatologist. Cetaphil also offers chemical exfoliating cleansers with AHA/BHA/PHA if physical exfoliation is not suitable for you.
