Face and body cleanser for dry to normal, sensitive skin
Description
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser 500ml is an iconic, award-winning, soap-free cleanser with a mild, non-irritating formulation that soothes the skin as it cleanses. Designed for dry to normal, sensitive skin, its creamy, fragrance-free formula uses micellar technology and a dermatologist-backed blend of niacinamide (vitamin B3), panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) and hydrating glycerin to gently remove dirt, oil and makeup while helping to maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier. pH-balanced and non-comedogenic, it can be used on face and body, with or without water, and is gentle enough for babies’ delicate skin.
