Give your skin a gentle, moisture-conscious cleanse with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, a dermatologist-tested facial and body cleanser designed for dry to normal, sensitive skin. Its creamy, non-foaming formula helps remove everyday dirt, makeup, and impurities while preserving the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Enriched with hydrating glycerin, niacinamide (Vitamin B3), and panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), this gentle cleanser helps keep skin feeling soft, comfortable, and hydrated after cleansing.

Key Ingredients
1. Glycerin
A powerful humectant that attracts water and helps maintain skin hydration, leaving skin feeling softer and more comfortable after cleansing.
2. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Helps support the skin's natural moisture barrier and improve the appearance of uneven skin texture. It can also help maintain a healthier-looking complexion.
3. Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
Helps condition the skin and support moisture retention, making it a useful ingredient in gentle skincare products for dry or sensitive skin.
4. Cetearyl Alcohol
A fatty alcohol that helps soften and condition the skin while contributing to the cleanser's creamy texture. It is different from drying alcohols such as ethanol.
5. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
A mild cleansing ingredient that helps remove everyday impurities while supporting a comfortable skin feel.
Suitable For
- Dry skin
- Normal skin
- Sensitive skin
- Skin that feels tight or uncomfortable after washing
- Skin prone to dryness from harsh cleansers
- People looking for a simple, gentle daily cleanser
- Those who prefer fragrance-free skincare
Note for oily or acne-prone skin: This cleanser focuses on gentle cleansing and moisture retention rather than intensive oil control or acne treatment. If you wear heavy makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, you may need an additional suitable cleanser to remove residue effectively.
Ideal for Bangladesh's Climate
Bangladesh's hot, humid weather can make skincare feel uncomfortable, but air conditioning, frequent washing, and harsh cleansers may also contribute to dryness and tightness.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser offers a mild cleansing option for people who want to maintain skin comfort without using an aggressive foaming face wash.
For the best results in Bangladesh:
- Use a small amount and rinse thoroughly if you prefer a fresh, clean finish.
- Follow with a lightweight moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
- After morning cleansing, apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
- Avoid repeatedly washing your face throughout the day, as excessive cleansing can contribute to dryness and irritation.
Texture & Finish
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser has a creamy, smooth, non-foaming texture that spreads easily across the skin. After cleansing, skin should feel clean and comfortable rather than excessively tight or stripped.
It can be used with water for a traditional rinse-off cleanse. The no-water method may leave a thin layer of product on the skin, so follow the directions on your specific UK or Canadian package.
