Cetaphil: An Eczema Sufferer's Treasure

Among the many products, brands, and organic treatments my mom tried to soothe my flaring eczema skin when I was little, Cetaphil was one of them. I still float around brands and products for my skin care, but I always wander back to Cetaphil. My mom used to use the liquid cleanser on me, but when I began to make my own decisions, I constantly choose the bar soap, unless I'm travelling (and then I'll pick up a bottle of Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser, which can be used without water), because the bar soap lasts longer than the liquid form (which just easily runs out onto your hands or washcloth).

Cetaphil is, by far, the best and, most importantly gentlest cleanser available, especially good for those who suffer from eczema. For an adult, it's like baby treatment, but in my opinion better (I tried various baby cleansers for my skin, but almost always broke out and itched as a result).

Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar's non-soap formulation is as mild as the mildest bar cleanser, and is designed for cleansing dry, sensitive skin. Ideal for bath or shower use. Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar is non-comedogenic and contains no harsh ingredients that might dry or irritate the skin.

Cetaphil cleansers and moisturizers are dermatologist recommended for a good reason. The Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar is "ideal for full body cleansing" and "non-irritating."

Non-soap formulation
If you use the liquid form of the Cetaphil cleanser, you'll notice that it doesn't lather. The amount of lather a cleanser makes doesn't amount to the quality of cleaning you're getting. The bar form of Cetaphil does, lather, however, but not to the point where you're overwhelmed by bubbles and foam. I think that's good. You can either use it alone or in a washcloth as I sometimes do -- wrapping it in a washcloth may help you keep a better grip on the bar. You can either lather it on your body with the washcloth acting as a "barrier" between the bar and your body, or if your body is extremely sensitive, just have the bar to your body.
