The Guru Index verdict

Experts split on this one. Those who approve praise the formula for its cleansing power on oily skin, noting that the sodium lauryl sulfate effectively removes sebum without over-stripping thanks to glycerin and other barrier-supporting ingredients. However, a significant concern emerged: the product contains seven fragrance compounds despite Cetaphil's reputation for gentle, fragrance-free formulations. That means anyone with sensitive skin or a history of fragrance reactions may want to pass, and even those with oily skin should patch-test first given the fragrance load.
