What the gurus are saying

This gel cleanser transforms into a light foam when you add water, and dermatologists praise it as a solid pick for oily and combination skin, especially in warmer months. The formula includes glycerin, panthenol, and niacinamide, which work together to cleanse without stripping. One thing to note: Cetaphil now offers both a fragrance-free version and the original scented formula, so if you have fragrance sensitivities, check the label to make sure you're grabbing the right one for your needs.

"This is a gel cleanser that turns into a low lather when activated by water. It has the three essential ingredients glycerin, vitamin B5, and niacinamide, and it's just great for those with oily skin. I like to use this in the summertime. I just used this the other day to cleanse my face in the morning before shaving, and you can end your day with this as well. They noted fragrance free. The original Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser had masking fragrance in the ingredients, so it wasn't truly fragrance-free but you could say maybe it was unscented. Some people like that smell, and if they want to stay with the original regular Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, from my understanding Galderma is not pulling that off the shelves. They're going to keep it going with the original fragrance or scented version of this, but they'll also have the fragrance-free version for those who have a known sensitivity to fragrance or don't want the smell."

Dermatologist Reviews: Drugstore Acne Roundup
"The Daily Facial Cleanser by Cetaphil is a nice one where it becomes a gel to foam texture when you cleanse. It has glycerin, vitamin B5 or panthenol, and it also has niacinamide, so big thumbs up for the Cetaphil if you're feeling kind of oily skin in the morning. It's good for oily sensitive skin."

Dermatologist Reviews: Target Skincare Routine for Teenagers
"Cetaphil is a great brand. The Daily Facial Cleanser is more for combination to oily skin and this is a gel to foaming cleanser. They have niacinamide, glycerin, and panthenol. These are tried and true products, just 12 to 13 dollars each."

"Cetaphil got a new look on their Daily Facial Cleanser. I kind of like this font, it's easier to read in comparison to the older font. This kind of looks like a table in a textbook whereas this is a little bit more easy on the eyes."
