Review: Great moisturiser - Cetaphil has become my lifeline woking in healthcare with the harsh soaps the NHS uses. These protect my hands, stop dryness and stop flaking. It applies light, not heavy or greasy like a lot of other moisturisers. It can be used as a moisturiser or cleanser. It doesnt foam, but gently washes. It doesn't have much of a smell, which is great for sensitive skin. Easy to use, fast delivery. Great value for money if you go through it as much as I do!
Review: lovely cleanser - love this, covers my one full year of daily wash. no dryness on face, very gentle on my skin

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What percentage alcohol is there in this product**
A: This product contains 0% ethanol (alcohol).  However, there are various types of compounds all known as "alcohols" that have different properties. Usually when we are asked about 'alcohol' content, ipeople are asking about the type of alcohol that is in hand santizers or that is drying or astringent on the skin. There is none of that kind of alcohol (ethanol) in this product. If the question is specifically related to whether this product can be used as a hand sanitizer: this is a skin cleanser that is suitable for washing dry, senstitive skin on any part of the body. It is not the same as a hand sanitizing gel that kills bacteria. hope that helps, Cetaphil UK Customer Services

**Q: Gentle enough to use on and around eye area?**
A: Hi! Cetaphil Gentle skin cleanser may be used on (but not in) and around the eyes. It can help to gently remove some light (not waterproof) makeup too. As with all products not specifically intended for in-eye use, you should try to avoid getting the product directly in the eyes, though. Hope this helps. Cetaphil UK customer services.

**Q: Can this be used as a substitute to shower gel/soap?**
A: It does not foam like hand wash or shower gel because it is not a detergent but I use it all the time.  My hands used to get sore with cracked tips all the time, particularly in the winter but this does not happen now.  I first used it for my husband who had dementia and had to be washed in bed; that is when I first used it; his skin was kept in perfect condition.

**Q: Is this good for itchy dry face and body**
A: Yes, this product is suitable for daily cleansing of dry skin and very sensitive skin. If your skin itchiness is something new or is bothering you, you may wish to discuss your symptoms with a Health Care Professional.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ lovely cleanser
*by M***Q on 20 May 2026*

love this, covers my one full year of daily wash. no dryness on face, very gentle on my skin

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gentle and reliable for daily use
*by B***A on 1 January 2026*

This cleanser is mild, soothing and great for sensitive or dry skin. It cleans without irritation and the niacinamide and glycerin help keep skin calm and hydrated. The large pump bottle is convenient and lasts a long time. It’s a simple, dependable cleanser just not the best choice if you prefer a deep, foaming wash.
