The Guru Index verdict
Mixed
~Mixed · 64%What the gurus are saying
Gurus split sharply on this product. Some praise its surfactants and hydrating ingredients as effective for oily skin without stripping, and note the inclusion of glycerin as a plus. However, the recurring and major gripe is the addition of fragrance (seven fragrance compounds listed), which directly contradicts Cetaphil's fragrance-free reputation and poses an unnecessary sensitization risk. The consensus is that fragrance has no place in a cleanser, especially one marketed to sensitive or oily skin.
