Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 I'm sure that this has been posted about many times - I apologize if this is redundant. I started to use Cetaphil cleansing bar for sensitive skin a couple of weeks ago when my skin could no longer tolerate my regular cleanser. I wonder if this is the cause of my dry, flaky skin? I thought it was supposed to be gentle, but perhaps it's drying out my skin? I don't have oily skin - perhaps the bar is too drying? Any current or past users of Cetaphil bar out there? --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 I have been using this Cetaphil bar for several months now and also noticed this drying effect after a couple of weeks of use. But I really liked the cleansing it provided and the fact that it did not irritate my overall redness. So I have found now that I can use it every other day, which seems to keep my skin from getting to dried out.

Kim, I have been using Cetaphil bar for almost 4 months now and can't complain. Normally, my skin needs a moisturizer, but I find the Cetaphil bar quite moisturizing. I am now able to completely skip a mosturizer in the morning, actually for the entire day, if I am staying indoors. Otherwise I would use sunscreen, but I don't put it on until later in the day, like before the lunch break or so. These days, so little goes on my skin - I wash with Cetaphil in the morning and at night, and during the day I use sunscreen (if any) and at night Herbacort (after I wash my face). So I am almost back to my old self - almost to the point of neglecting facial care. ;-) Alena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 I tried the Cetaphil bar for a while and found it very drying. My skin does much better with creamy cleansers (right now I'm using Aveeno Creamy Baby Cleanser, which I really like).
