I'm updating my skincare regime at the moment, after a long period of hormone-related stress, breakouts, blotchiness and general Bad Face Days. Cleanser-wise, I've never really paid a lot of attention, trying various random things not including soap, and didn't want to spend a fortune- moisturiser, sunscreen, retinol and general disaster-relief are where the money needs to go. So I started with the obvious and got some Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It had good reviews and costs a lot less than beauty store products, nine or ten dollars for 16 fl oz, which is only slightly more than Jackie's Clean and Clear. And Walgreens had some with a free cleansing bar attached, which goes for $4.49- something else to try later. 

So is it any good? Basically, yes. I'm using it as a lotion, which suits me best but also makes for better cleansing than using it as a wash, perhaps because it is so gentle. You can do either, but it won't lather. Then I always rinse with water, and the Cetaphil leaves my skin feeling very comfortable, with no dryness, which is as it should be. And actually it has also been a lot calmer and clearer in the last few days since using it. This may be just a coincidence- as my previous cleansing choices were so haphazard any improvement would hardly be a miracle- but it is encouraging. So I am not committed to Cetaphil for life yet, but unless there is another non-wash cleanser that works this well, we could well end up staying together just from habit and laziness. One may as well be realistic.
