Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser

I have always been very particular when it comes to facial cleansers, mainly because my skin is very sensitive and prone to break outs. When your skin has special issues it can be very hard to find the cleanser that is right for you. After many of years searching for the "right one" I have finally settled into using the "Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser". I use the cleanser both morning and night with my Clarisonic Mia 2. This cleanser can be incorporated into your skincare routine regardless of your personal cleansing method. I tend to have an oily completion, and I feel that this cleanser does its job without over drying, and without leaving me still over oily. This particular brand of cleanser comes in "NORMAL TO OILY SKIN", "NORMAL TO DRY", and also a "GENTLE SKIN CLEANSER".

Just a tid bit of information from this products website(listed above):

Cetaphil® Daily Facial Cleanser is effective for normal, combination or oily skin. Its non-irritating formula is designed to remove surface oils, dirt and makeup without leaving skin feeling tight or overly dry. This non-comedogenic, low-foaming skin cleanser leaves skin with a fresh feeling and won't leave behind an irritating residue.

Product Ingredient List:

I would recommend anyone who is in the market for a great quality cleanser from the drugstore, to check this one out! Especially if you have oily sensitive skin, I would give this one a try! I'm totally in love with this one and plan to continue using it. You can purchase this product at most drugstores, and many places online such as www.walmart.com, www.walgreens.com, or www.ulta.com. This product is available in many different sizes. It has a very pleasant clean scent, but no type of fragrance that would be irritating to the skin. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my review. If you have any questions for me, leave them below.

My Opinions On These Products:

PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion:

I do realize that many of my reviews have begun with the statement of one of the many skin care beliefs that I have. Having said that, I must tell you that I firmly believe nighttime is a time for the skin to heal and replenish itself. So it is of the highest importance to me that I incorporate a very good quality nighttime moisturizer into my skin care routine. (FACT) But for the sake of this blog, "In my opinion" thoroughly cleansing and moisturizing your skin at night prepares it for the day ahead. Including overall appearance the following day, and assisting with application of any type of makeup you may wish to incorporate the following day. Now, away from my rant and on to the product itself. The consistency of this "Facial Moisturizing Lotion" is unlike any other I have tried in the past. Instead of the usual plain white cream, this nighttime moisturizer has a gel-like consistency. It is a somewhat transparent white color, and is less dense than your typical run of the mill nighttime moisturizer.When you apply the moisturizer to freshly cleaned skin, it goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. With my skin being naturally on the oily side, this moisturizer enables me to put moisture back into my skin without the whole oily factor a few hours after after application, or even in the morning after it has sat on my skin all night. I would also like to finally add that this moisturizer is fantastic if you are prone to dry patches.

AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion:

The first thing that I really love about this daytime moisturizer is that, like any daytime moisturizer should, it has an SPF. This particular product contains an SPF 30. It is so important to me to have an SPF incorporated into my daytime skincare routine. If there is one sure thing that I have learned (not from experience, but from others) can rapidly age the skin is SUN EXPOSURE! If you are someone like me, who spends most of their time indoors, then an SPF 30 should be more than enough. If you spend most of your time outside I would recommend another sunscreen on top of this moisturizer. Through the past I have had my share of daytime moisturizers that have went on and absorbed completely fine, only to result in an oily complexion a few hours later. This is the one drugstore daytime moisturizer that I have found that does not cause this. This is a factor in a daytime moisturizer that is very important to me! Unlike the nighttime moisturizer, this daytime moisturizer is very much like your "run of the mill" moisturizers. It is a plain white cream. Like the nighttime moisturizer, it absorbs into the skin quickly and evenly. 

PM & AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion 

It is my experience with both of these products (with my acne prone skin) that neither of them have aggravated or caused more acne spots. Both of these products have pleasant low odor smells. I have heard through others that both of these products come highly recommended by dermatologists. If you are in the market for a great drugstore nighttime and daytime facial lotion, then this is a duo worth checking out! 

These products are readily available at many drugstore chains, as well as on drugstore.com

Once again these are strictly my opinions only. Thanks so much for reading, and visiting my blog! :)
