[Review] Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

Hola Some readers asked me why my skin getting better everyday even I stay up very late almost everyday. Well, beside of the drink a lot of water, cleansing is essential in order to achieve smooth and healthy glowing skin. =)

You girls know the daily skin care routine right? CLEANSE > LOTION > MOISTURIZER > SUNSCREEN. It means that cleansing is the most important steps in the daily routine because if you didn't cleanse your skin well then how your skin will absorb the essence of the skin care later? Just imagine after you makeup and you didn't cleanse your skin 100%, this also explained why your acne are getting bigger and worse.

Ta-da! This is what I received from Cetaphil. The Gentle skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Cream. I will review the moisturizer in other post so remember to stay tuned. =)

Cetaphil's latest cleansers and moisturizers combat skin irritation and keep skin silky smooth. Its gentle formula is ideal for newborns and young children who have delicate skin.

Well, we all know a baby's skin may be smooth and soft, but it is also very sensitive and prone to irritation as it is thinner and more fragile. Thus, using a proper cleanser for bathing neonatal and infant skin is of prime importance considering the anatomical differences with adult skin. In addition, the cleansing of neonate and infant skin requires careful attention as paediatric skin differs from adult skin in several important ways. For instance, the thickness of infant skin is 40-60% that of adult skin, underlying the need to choose a gentle skin cleansing and moisturizing regime to protect and improve the skin barrier function in infants and young children.

The texture for the cleanser was transparent and something like gel but not sticky at all. Cetaphil's range of cleansers meet all of the above requirements and are well-tolerated in infants with diaper dermatitis and effective in removing debris without drying or irritating the skin. Moreover, the cleansing bar and cleansing lotion have physiologic lipid emollients and the correct pH level to help facilitate barrier repair for even highly irritated and acutely inflamed skin. This helps to improve significantly the dryness of the atopic skin to improve the itching.

Method of Cleansing

To ensure optimal results, Cetaphil recommends the following regime when cleansing paediatric skin :

✦ Pre-term neonates :
Wash in bath containing cool boiled water or physiological saline. Avoid cleansing during the first 4-6 weeks.
✦ Full-term neonates :
Can be cleaned in water using a gentle cleanser eg. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser with a neutral or slightly acidic pH and moisturizers or emollients.

After cleanse, my skin feel fresh and clean. I found it quite unique because compare to other brands of cleanser it doesn't have many foams. but that's okay, because as long as it bringing good result I won't actually care about how much foams it can create. =)

Overall I feel satisfied with the result. Although this is not the first time I used Cetaphil's skin care products but I still amazed with the final outcome.
