    A Featured Shower Regular!

May 18, 2008, 10:09 pm My sensitive skin will let me know when a product is not being kind to it and because this actually left my skin soft and smooth, it was a good sign. First of all, this bar is pretty creamy for a solid soap so it applies almost like a body wash because it also lathers richly. When I rinse it off my skin, I feel the difference of cleanliness and moisture when my skin has dried because I see no ashiness. This also cleanses the face better than their cream or liquid cleansers. Now here's the catch, it's about three dollars a bar. It doesn't seem much but when you compare it to the prices of multiple pack shower soaps and find that this product melts and disappears easily with a few rinses of water on the bar, you'll find that you're shelling out more to have it. I still find it a benefit to have because it's gentle and effective so in the end, pulling out a couple more dollars seems worth it to hypersensitive skinned people like myself and my younger sister who has eczema. She and I have complete opposite skin types as I am oily and she's very dry yet this product works for either of us. May 18, 2008, 10:09 pm

It was leaving horrible scars. My dermatologist highly recommended this soap and I am so thankful. My skin is completely clear. I use this soap for face and body. I also have psoriasis and eczema and it seems to clear that up as well.I have not experienced any problems with drying as I have with many other soaps and acne treatments. As with any soap you should follow up with a moisturizer. May 1, 2008, 7:37 am

    great for dry or sensitive skin, but doesn't wash clean

    by Debra_Elyse (14 reviews)
    My dermatologist has recommended this product to me in the past. I keep it on hand for when my skin gets very dry and sensitive. It also seems to take off my eye makeup which is a plus. But, i have combination skin and cannot use it as my daily wash because it doesn't seem to wash completely clean or give a deap clean. December 11, 2007, 9:43 am

    I have acne prone skin and I have been using this product for years. It can be drying but you should be using a moisturizer in the morning and evening anyway. This will avoid any flakiness. June 11, 2008, 1:56 pm

    Nothing works better

    by patrixi (7 reviews)
    During my first pregnancy my hormones went crazy and it caused a lot of acne. I never had a skin problem before then. My dermatologist recommended Cetaphil, and I love it! I had tried a lot of other products before I found this one and NOTHING else worked. It's extremely gentle and works great! November 29, 2007, 4:02 pm
