## Overview

Cetaphil SA Gentle Exfoliating Face Wash is a dermatologist-recommended, fragrance-free foaming gel that combines a unique triple acid blend with hydrating ingredients to gently exfoliate, improve skin texture, and defend sensitive skin against dryness, irritation, and roughness. Suitable for daily use, it reveals smoother, radiant skin after just one wash while maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier.

## Description

Now there is a gentle exfoliating cleanser that can be used every day on sensitive skin. CETAPHIL Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser reveals softer, smoother skin and a more even skin tone in just 1 week thanks to a unique blend of Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid and Gluconolactone. This gentle chemical exfoliator promotes surface skin cell renewal for a more refined texture and radiant-looking skin after just 1 use, without the same abrasiveness as a physical exfoliator. In fact, daily use can help improve the resilience of sensitive skin over time. Plus a blend of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and Glycerin hydrates and moisturizes skin to help soothe and preserve the skin barrier. This foaming gel cleanser is hypoallergenic, fragrance free, paraben free and won’t clog pores, specifically developed to be gentle on sensitive skin. CETAPHIL Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser defends against 5 signs of skin sensitivity - dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness and a weakened skin barrier.

Review: The best upgrade from Cetaphil's gentle cleanser – exfoliates without irritation - If you've been using Cetaphil's classic Gentle Skin Cleanser and feel like it just isn't doing enough for your skin, this Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser is the perfect next step. It maintains everything that makes Cetaphil a trusted brand — the mild, non-irritating formula, suitability for sensitive skin, and dermatologist backing — while adding the exfoliating power that many people need for a truly thorough cleanse. The Salicylic Acid (SA) in the formula provides gentle chemical exfoliation that helps clear out clogged pores, remove dead skin buildup, and smooth skin texture over time. Unlike physical scrubs that can be abrasive, this one works without any harsh gritty sensation. The foaming gel lathers nicely and rinses clean, leaving skin feeling fresh and noticeably smoother without any tightness or dryness afterward. I made the switch after feeling like my regular gentle cleanser wasn't addressing my skin texture and occasional breakouts effectively enough. The difference was noticeable within the first week of consistent use — my skin looked cleaner, felt smoother, and my pores appeared less congested. It's suitable for daily use and doesn't over-strip the skin, which was my concern when switching to a cleanser with an active ingredient. The 16 oz pump bottle is great value and very convenient for daily use at the sink. The pump dispenses a controlled amount so the product lasts a long time. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Cetaphil but wants more cleansing efficacy, or for anyone with oily, combination, or congestion-prone skin looking for a gentle but effective daily cleanser with exfoliating benefits.
Review: No issues with my sensitive skin - I have sensitive skin and I’m satisfied with gentle foam and freshness after wash. It doesn’t have a scent which is great to me.
