What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently recommend this cleanser for oily and combination skin, praising its ability to cleanse thoroughly without over-stripping. The recurring strength is that it cleans effectively while protecting the skin barrier through ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides, leaving skin feeling soft rather than tight. It's also cited as a safe, reliable choice during acne phases.

"If you have combination skin or oily prone skin, you can use a product like the Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser because this not only adequately cleans the surface of the skin so you get that nice clean look, but also what it does is it supplements your skin barrier so it gives things like humectants to the skin so it doesn't over strip your skin. When I use this because I've got that sort of combination oily, sensitive skin, my skin feels kind of nice and soft, really clean afterwards, and it also controls the oil production as well, which is fantastic."
