The side of the box that " Cetaphil gentle cleansing bar " comes in mentions that it contains, " no harsh detergents that might dry or irritate the skin " . Whereas we have noted that many at this support group and others have mentioned dryness after " Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion with two alcohols " , whereas Cetaphil gentle cleansing bar is " moisturizing and unscented " . And that is what we mentioned above from many of our ROSACEA-LTD CUSTOMERS who have reported to us that they are very happy with it over many other things that they have used for cleansers. Whereas Cetaphil lotion has always been a NO NO for them. We just wish to help those that somehow have accidentally located the Cetaphil lotion with two alcohols and are drying out to find Cetaphil gentle cleansing bar that is very noticably better for most. As we have learned, " EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT " , but there are many generalities. >> >> >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> NextCard - the First, True Internet VISA: Get online account info, >> transfer balances and rates as low as 2.9% APR with no annual fee! >> Learn more at: http://offers./click/203/0 >> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry What's really strange is that my derm had the antibiotic put in cetaphil lotion (the mosturizer) for my initial topical medication. I remember that I alway turned red after applying it, but was so new to the game that I wouldn't have known better. I am now using Noritate.
