Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating newness
See that word ‘gentle’? That’s a magic word, for those of us with sensitive skin. And there’s a delicate (in every way) balance with sensitive skin (which we know all about, personally): you want it to look bright, not dull – but you don’t want to strip away too many layers, through aggressive exfoliation.
These two new additions to the Cetaphil range – which as we’ve said before, is regularly ‘prescribed’ by us to those of touchy complexion – are just the ticket, we’ve found, after giving them a go. The blend of exfoliating acids in Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser and Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Lotion is carefully measured so as not to irritate – we’re talking salicylic, mandelic and poly-hydroxy acids – but does indeed leave skin that bit brighter. The cleanser is non-stripping, though, and both products contain lots of skin-friendly emolllients.
Where Cetaphil break all the rules is by telling customers: it’s fine to use this on face and body. TBH, that’s true of many products, but… the beauty industry actually wants us to have myriad, ‘targeted’ products, rather than ones which multi-task for face, body, hands, feet etc.
Fragrance-free, pleasantly textured, these can work for all the family – and while the prices aren’t absolutely bargain basement, the generously sized products will last and last.
Gently (but effectively) does it, then.
