Title: CETAPHIL Daily Gel Cleanser
Post by: Noodles on February 12, 2011, 10:34:21 AM: Has anyone ever tried a daily gel-like cleanser called CETAPHIL?

This brand line of products has been around since the discovery of dirt, but more than likely, it's superior cleansing power to get your skin/scalp extremely clean has been probably overlooked by many - more than likely, simply because of the length of time it has been around!!

I saw a big pump bottle of this cleanser in my teenage son's bathroom and when I asked him how he liked the stuff, he said he started using this stuff a few months ago and it was some of the best stuff he had ever used for eliminating excess oil build-up on his skin. (No-he's NOT sly).
(I have noticed his skin's appearance has GREATLY IMPROVED over the last few weeks, but I was unaware of what he was using)

So, when taking a shower that night, I thought I'd experiment on the 'ol melon.

Isn't science wonderful?

RESULTS:

CETAPHIL STRIPS the skin of EXCESS OIL, WILL NOT IRRITATE or DRY OUT YOUR SKIN (EXTREMELY GENTLE, Yet VERY POWERFUL Cleanser!!

I was soooooooooooo impressed with the way it cleansed the skin, I then added a bit into my shave gel, applied the mixture to my scalp, then proceded to srcape away.

AMAZING, LOVEABLE, IRRESISTABLE RESULTS!!

Noodles what are you using after your shave ?

Currently, I finish my routine off with a splash of WITCH HAZEL, bite my tongue until the initial sting wears off, then I'm good to go!!

I've been using cetaphil for years and never found a huge problem. My wife bought this Sebamed kit from Costco half a year ago, let me tell you, it feels completely different (in a good way)
I started doing a little research and here's a little summary about Sebamed...
Our skin/scalp has a natural protective layer called acid mantle, which is a little acidic (pH 5.5). most shampoo/wash/lotion out there have a much higher pH (yes, Cetaphil included, as mild as it seems) , so when you use products with the wrong pH, it strips away this layer and makes your skin/scalp dry, and then very oily to make up for the dryness :-X
Sebamed was originally for people with sensitive skin, so their wash/shampoo/lotion are all pH 5.5, keeps your skin and scalp healthy.
Not irritating at all. After I use the shampoo, I never feel that tightness and dryness on my scalp. I also use their face and body wash, which is great because I get lazy, but this wash is good for both face and body. O0
