Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
I can’t say enough good things about this product. I try many facial products and there have been many cleansers that I love, but I always seem to come back to old faithful… Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Especially when the weather gets colder and my skin seems to go berserk – dry, patchy, red and enflamed. Gentle Skin Cleanser removes my make-up and cleanses my skin whilst soothing it. It is so incredibly gently and it doesn’t dry out skin at all. I also use it to wash Cara’s face. Cara has to wear sunscreen every day (we all do actually!) as she is very fair and this cleanser is great to remove it in the evenings whilst still caring for her delicate and sensitive skin. I often use it with great success on her body too when her eczema flares up.
Cetaphil® Gentle Cleansing Lotion is the ideal choice for all skin types, all ages, all seasons.
250ml retails for R205, 125ml for R123 and the new 400ml for R267! And as evident in my image above… I always stock up when Clicks has a 3 for 2.
Cetaphil DermaControl Oil Control Foam Wash
I sometimes forget about Cetaphil when it comes to cleansing my face in summer. My skin tends to get a bit oily when the weather is warmer and then I prefer a foaming cleanser. The DermaControl™ Oil Control Foam Wash has blown me away. This gentle foaming cleanser effectively removes excess oil, impurities and make-up. The foam is super light and gentle, yet powerful enough to get rid of the dirt and grime that can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Gentle enough for everyday use. 236ml retails for R189
Cetaphil Moisturising Cream
This moisturising cream has been formulated for sensitive and/or dry skin. It’s non-greasy, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. It is brilliant in its simplicity – it soothes, softens and hydrates. If you want a cream that does what it’s designed to do and does it well… this is the one! And it’s perfect for the whole family. It is also recommended to re-hydrate damaged skin associated with common skin conditions and following dermatological treatments. 50ml retails for R213.
Cetaphil RestoraDerm Skin Restoring Body Wash & Moisturiser
RestoraDerm™ is hypoallergenic and fragrance free skin care for the whole family. This gentle foaming body wash can be used daily and leaves dry, itchy skin feeling cleansed and soothed. It is perfect for the whole family. If you don’t suffer from dry skin and hate the feeling of lotions and creams, this may be the only body product you need. 295ml retails for R325

Cetaphil Body Moisturising Cream
Cetaphil’s Body Moisturising Cream is my favourite of all the body creams. It glides onto the skins, absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling and looking great – not a dry patch in sight. It also works beautifully at soothing Cara’s skin. Especially when in the midst of an eczema flare-up. No wonder it is recommended to re-hydrate damaged skin associated with common skin conditions and following dermatological treatments. It is an absolute beaut. 500g retails for R333.
