Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Directions
Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser is a mild formula designed for those with sensitive skin but used by anyone who wants to avoid a harsh product, especially on the face 1. According to the Cetaphil website, the cleanser is non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog pores or cause breakouts. Use it each morning and night as part of your daily skincare regimen to remove makeup, dirt and oil. When used properly, the all-purpose cleanser can help you avoid irritating ingredients and chemicals, while leaving your skin moisturized.
Run the tap until the water is warm but comfortable for your face. Test the water with your elbow before splashing it on your face.
