Question 1

i have oily skin, blackheads, & minor pimples. is cetaphil good for my skin type?

Accepted Answer

Wont fix it: Cetaphil will not hurt your skin however it will not resolve the acne.  If it is truly acne (and not pregnant) should try an over the counter benzoyl peroxide product from any pharmancy (anywhere from 2.5% to 5%, start with 5% to make life simple). Try 1x/day and if your skin does not dry out you can use it twice. Will dry the skin and help acne. If it doesnt help, you may need a prescription.

Question 2

is cetaphil a good cleanser for oily skin?

Accepted Answer

Try This: Cetaphil has a new product on the market called "cetaphil dermacontrol oil control foam wash" that I have had excellent results with patients. I do not like to endorse one brand over another but this product has shown great results thus far. It is worth a try.

Question 3

hi doctors. i have a question? is cetaphil facial wash good for all skin type? im asking this coz i have an oily face. what soap can u recommend?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Cetaphil is a good choice for multiple skin types. I've used it myself. Right from their website, for example, it says: cetaphil dermacontrol oil control foam wash specifically designed for oily and acne-prone skin. Get more info at cetaphil.Com. Neutrogena face washes are another good option.

Question 4

currently using cetaphil as my facial wash. it makes my skin soft but i need something that cleans my pores better. what's a good facial scrub ?

Accepted Answer

Scrub carefully: You want to be careful using harsh or abrasive scrubs on your facial skin. The facial skin is gentle and does not often need abrasive scrubs. I would reccomend continuing with the cetaphil as your cleanser and once or twice a week using a product specifically designed as a scrub (there are so many to choose from).

Question 5

is cetaphil good for people with acne prone skin?

Accepted Answer

There are Better: Cetaphil is a soap free non-ionic cleanser.  It does not adequately remove surface epidermal lipids.  Detergent cleansers are preferred.

Question 6

is this product vaseline emollient cream" good for sensitive skin or is cetaphil better?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: Everyone's skin reacts a bit differently to various things that are applied to it. Both products are very good, in my experience - but you might prefer one over the other, depending on your individual preferences. The only way to find out is to try both. Some pharmacies keep "demonstrator" bottles of popular lotions on the counter, so that you can try before you buy.

Question 7

which moisturiser is good for dry skin. lacto calamine or cetaphil? i rarely get acne (due to heat).

Accepted Answer

Dry skin creams: Look form moisturizers that contain ceramides. Cerave is a brand. The best time to moisturze is right after a bath or shower.

Question 8

what is a good facial moisturizer to use if my skin is prone to acne? cetaphil moisturizer burns my skin probably because i use epiduo.

Accepted Answer

Non-allergic: I suggest hypoallergenic creams such as Nivea or coconut oil products. Mild hypoallergenic products should be checked with your pharmacist.

Question 9

i have oil skin with pimples. my friend suggested "cetaphil cleansing lotion" but the lotion  contain parabens, may be causing the skin problems. so is it good to use that lotion are any lotion is there which will not affect the skin? i am male and 25year

Accepted Answer

Cetaphil: Is one of the mildest lotions there is.  It is not oil based so would not aggravate your acne.  If you are ALLERGIC to parabens, perhaps could cause a rash but not acne.
Neutrogena is also a good cleanser but it contains glycerine, that COULD increase oiliness.  Try a mild salicylic acid based cleanser instead, and tretinoin for the pimples.

Question 10

1 of my problems was messing around with different products?cetaphil is the only thing that doesn't break me out/irritate 2 repair my skin do i continu

Accepted Answer

Cetaphil : Continuation will not repair your skin. If this is working for you as in its non-irritating and seems to controlling your acne, no down side in continuing its use. Excellent product.
