Hello lovelies!
Before I get started with today's post, I just want to remind you of the series I started yesterday on my Life with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. If you want to check that out, click here. Now, on to what you came here for!
Today, we're going to be talking about the skin care brand Cetaphil. If you've never heard of them, they have a large range of various skincare products, from facial washes to moisturizers. I first heard about them from various Youtuber's, and naturally, I was swayed and decided to purchase the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Since then, I've tested more of their products and have come up with my loves and let downs.
As always, we'll start with the let downs and get those out of the way. I've not tested too many Cetaphil products, so there is only one let down today.
Let Down:
1. Cetaphil Lotion for All Skin Types
I was looking for a moisturizer to use in the evening - one that didn't contain any SPF. At the time, I was using only a moisturizer with SPF in it. I decided since I was using the gentle skin cleanser, I would try this lotion. After testing it out for two days in a row, I came to the conclusion that I hated it. It didn't sink into the skin on my face, leaving a sticky residue. And that's the WORST part about using lotion on your face, in my opinion: The possibility of it being sticky and gross. In addition, it didn't moisturize my skin well since it didn't sink into the skin. And considering, I have combo to oily skin - with some dry patches - it was awful.
Loves:
1. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for All Skin Types
Out of all the cleansers I've tried in my life, this one has to be my favorite. It's such a unique cleanser as well, because there are multiple ways to use it. I use the "Water Method", but you can also use the "Dry Method." The Water Method simply means you rub it on your face and wash it off, just like any other cleanser1. The Dry method entails rubbing the product on your face, and wiping it off with a soft, dry cloth1. No water is used. This cleanser gets my skin clean, and leaves it feeling soft and not overly dry. Of course, I still moisturize after I wash my face, as you always should. But if I wanted or needed to skip moisturization, I could. Overall, a fantastic cleanser and currently, my holy grail.
2. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths
These are my go-to makeup remover cloths. I have tried quite a few cleansing cloths, and out of all of them, these are my favorite. First off, they are super soft! Softest I've ever felt. You know how some cloths are rough or scratchy; these are not. Second, they remove the makeup quite well. However, I always cleanse with the Gentle Skin Cleanser afterward, because no makeup remover wipe gets all the makeup off your face. The only con I have to these wipes is that they can be a bit drying. That doesn't bother me too much though, because I can just moisturize and be good to go.
As you can see, this list of Cetaphil products is small, but overall, this brand is a wonderful skin care brand. I would recommend it to anyone, regardless of skin type, because there are so many products - there is bound to be something for everyone.
If you'd like me to do an in-depth review of any of these products, shoot me a comment and I would be happy to do that for you. In addition, if there are any other brands you'd like me to talk about in this Loves and Let Downs series, comment down below and I'll look into it.
Hope you all are having a fantastic Saturday!
God bless,
