Cetaphil Antibacterial Gentle Cleansing Bar Review
I used to use this soap during the winter when the effects of heating and cold air made for tender, easily chafed skin. But time and needs change and I now use this product year-round. First of all, let me say this soap basically made my eczema go away. No more steroid creams or break out rashes. I’ve been using harsher soaps (dial, ivory) my whole life, and when a dermatologist diagnosed me with eczema in my late 20s, I thought that I’d be applying steroid creams on and off the rest of my life for this “controllable disease.” Not so. After controlling the first few rashes, I started using cetaphil bar soap in the shower and the liquid facial cleanser at night, and 6 months later, I have yet to have a recurrence.
This soap is gentle to the skin and does not leave much residue as those commercial dry-skin cleansers. The other products I tried irritated my skin, made my skin too dry or it was too loaded with moisturizers. They also didn’t give me the antibacterial protection that I wanted which translates to odor protection. I tried Cetaphil Antibacterial Cleansing Bar and it kept my skin healthy and provided all-day odor protection. This is the anti-bacterial version although there is a ‘plain’ version. It’s expensive as soap goes, but I have found that the six-pack by-subscription set up Amazon provides brings the per bar cost way below what you’ll find on the pharmacy shelves.
There’s little fragrance [unlike most commerical soaps] to irritate either the skin or the olfactory. Using a wash cloth, it makes rich suds and it rinses clean. Beware placing it in on a soap holder in the direct stream of your shower. Because it is a super-fatted soap it will wash away before your eyes if you aren’t careful about placement.
I have been using it for years now. I use a different kind of soap for my face but for the rest of me, this is the only soap I’ll use. My husband and my son both use it now too. Amazon has the best price around. I wish I had checked it out sooner. I have a subscription for this product and I love the savings!
