I suffer from Eczema on different parts of my body at times and sometimes it flares up with oozing, red, cracked sore skin. I have had a terrible time trying to find products that don’t irritate the skin and make the condition worse than when I started.
Then I discovered Cetaphil Cleanser. What a relief! This cleanser is so gentle on the skin. It even can be used dry (without water) or with water. It can also be used all over the body and is really great for babies with irritation from diaper rash or eczema outbreaks. It is recommended that when using dry (without water), that you use a soft washcloth to remove it and it will leave a light layer on your skin to soften and smooth. If using with water, put a little in the palm of your hand and massage into the skin and rinse off. It still leaves your skin soft, and silky. It is a little strange to have a cleanser that is very gel-like and doesn’t lather like all the others, but boy does it feel good on the skin!
Cetaphil Cleanser comes in two sizes here in Canada - a 220 ml size with a flip top and a bigger, more economical 460 ml size with a pump.
Cetaphil is made by a Dermalogical company called Galderma. Dermatology is their only business. They market for both retail and the pharmaceutical industry with products to alleviate suffering for those afflicted with such conditions.
I can’t think of anybody that wouldn’t like Cetaphil Cleanser both those afflicted with irritating skin conditions or people who just want a simple cleansing product without the hype!
All I know is that Cetaphil worked for me and left my eczema ravaged areas soft, calm and soothed. Isn’t that all anybody wants...Soft, Clean Skin??
