Is Cetaphil Pro Redness Prone Face Wash Right for You?

The texture and color are pure heaven. Foam is thin and airy, slightly runny, Such a delicate texture makes it easy to spread, lather on the skin and rinse it off. It doesn’t feel too soapy or thick on the skin, it is just perfect for a quick, gentle routine.

Cetaphil’s Redness Relieving Foaming Face Wash is unscented, therefore it doesn’t cause any unwanted irritation on sensitive skin.

Now let’s check out the ingredients. This is my favorite part of skincare research. So, the foam face wash is filled with those chilling, soothing ingredients. First of all, it is Glycerin. You won’t find any better and any more affordable ingredient, than glycerin, It is like honey for a sore throat, glycerin helps the skin to retain moisture: makes it heal faster, and repairs the skin’s natural barrier. It is always a great idea to have glycerin in your first-aid skincare kit.

Another magic ingredient for sensitive, red skin – allantoin. Just like hyaluronic acid, it is a naturally occurring compound produced by our own skin, so nothing foreign here! Allantoin is a powerful humectant that not only retains water but also helps to “resurface” it from the depths.

Finally, the formula contains caffeine.  This ingredient not only soothes and moisturizes the skin but also refreshes it and provides antioxidant benefits.

How to Use:

To use Cetaphil Pro Face Wash for Sensitive & Redness Prone Skin, begin by wetting your face with lukewarm water. Dispense a small amount of the face wash into your hand or onto a soft washcloth. Gently massage the cleanser onto your face in a circular motion, avoiding the delicate eye area.  Continue massaging for about 20-30 seconds to ensure thorough cleansing.

Rinse the skin with water to remove all traces of the foam. Pat your skin with a paper towel and follow with a gentle, yet effective moisturizer. I like using rosehip oil or shea butter on the days when my skin can’t handle active ingredients.

My Experience with Cetaphil Pro Face Wash

And Cetaphil was the answer. I now use it on those in-between days when I don’t want to subject my skin to harsh AHA and BHA exfoliants but still want a refreshed and hydrated feeling. It does the job well without causing breakouts. However, if you are prone to blackheads and sebaceous filaments, this cleanser may not be sufficient for their removal.

The con for me is the overly gentle formula, which doesn’t effectively address my prominent sebaceous filaments. However, those problem areas can be treated separately.

Final Verdict…

The best advice on how to deal with damaged skin barrier was given by dermatologist Andrea Suarez: “Set aside the vast majority of your skincare product, and just keep the thing super simple! Mild cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen.” Simplicity is the secret. So, that`s what I do, when my skin feels under the weather. The Cetaphil`s Pro Face Wash is my number one thing for days like this.
