Summary: Dr. recomended
Comment: I have very dry skin resulting a lot of itching and redness. My dermatologist recomended this product and I have used it for several years. It is very mild and doesn't leave my skin dryed out. Glad to find it at amazon as it is hard to find in our local stores. The price is right too.

Summary: Only a Cleanser; not a Moisturizer
Comment: Cetaphil creates wonderful skin care products which do exactly what they claim to do; no more. The gentle cleansing bar gently cleanses; however the clean skin may need a moisturizer if it is normally dry. I have sensitive combination skin with mild rosacea, and I use this on my face once daily. After rinsing, while my skin is still moist, I use a drop of the Cetaphil Fragrance Free Moisturizing Lotion. My skin is soft and clear.

Summary: What can I say? It's great "soap"
Comment: I've been using Dove for years, as I've needed a non-abrasive soap, but this is much better than Dove (it's also not considered soap). It was strongly recommended by my dermatologist and works great. It's smooth, and leaves the skin healthy.

Summary: Beware of "masking fragrance"
Comment: I have mild rosacea, and have used this product for about 6 years. One bar lasts me about 2 years because I only use it once a day. It had been recommended by all the rosacea websites as the mildest one and until my current bar, I'd have rated it 5 stars.

However, after one week of using my new bar, my skin is itchy and irritated. Somewhere along the line they have started adding "masking fragrance." I contacted the company and they claim they have not changed the formula, but there's no way I could have been using it all these years and never noticed the perfume... it's the first thing I smell when I walk into the bathroom.

Anyway, I'm going to try the GENTLE SKIN CLEANSER which is truly fragrance free...for now. And I thought this information from the Cetaphil FAQ at their website is rather revealing:

Q. Is the Cetaphil® bar as mild as your liquid cleanser?
A. No, our bar was formulated to be milder than other bar cleansers, but it is not as mild as our liquid cleanser.

Q. What is the scent I smell in some of your lotions and creams?

A. What you smell in our lotions and creams is the normal scent of the chemicals in the formula without any masking fragrance. We are unable to mask this odor without making the formula harsher to your skin.
