In the past, my face looked dull. However, I managed to achieve radiant skin, free from pimples and dark spots, by adopting these practices. -: 1. Ensuring I drink at least 3 to 4 liters of water every day. 2. Having carrots or carrot juice daily. 3. Using Littlextra Ricebery face wash daily, which is derived from black rice water known for its superior skin benefits compared to regular white rice water. 4. Engaging in intense workouts at the gym and sweating heavily. 5. Performing facial steam or full-body steaming sessions every 18 days.
Let me tell you , I needed a facewash that does not dry out my skin but at the same time cleans dirt from my face... You know what, this rice berry face wash is it.... It removes my dirt and doesn't dry out.... However, it does not create much foam while washing.
NOOOOOOOOOOO! Now that they've added Niacinimide to it, which irritates my skin... what do I do? Every company is putting it in their products including cerave, la roche posay etc.... it irritates my skin and I don't know what to even use anymore as a cleanser. help? :(
I have been using their gentle clear cleanser for about a month now and it has helped so much with my whiteheads and texture. My skin is noticeably less oily now and it doesn’t irritate or strip my sensitive skin.
It’s interesting that so many companies are reformulating their products due to the “clean” beauty movement (not sure that’s the right word but you get the gist.) in this case It seems like removing parabens and sulfates has lead to an overall improvement in the formulations at the drugstore. I’m pretty happy about it! Currently I’m using up a few Cerave cleansers but I’ll try these next time. Thanks for the great review!
@@KD-vq2wt free of parabens, sulfates & other chemicals deemed harmful by the Environmental working group as well as some health gurus. Usually “clean” also means cruelty free and sometimes vegan.
I think part of the reformulation has to do w/the supply chain issues going on. a lot of skincare prices are going up and reformulation may have prevented cetaphil from having to do that
@@rencher013 that is possible, but the supply chain problems and spike in inflation are fairly new. Having worked for a large consumer product company I think something as major as a reformulation of a classic and popular product would have to have taken years just to get past all the meetings. I think it probably has more to do with consumer trends. “Clean” beauty is a big trend with a quickly rising market share, whether dermatologists like it or not. These companies must adapt their products to consumer demands.
I was a fan of the old formula for the gentle skin cleanser so I was nervous about how much they would change it. So many times when companies do a "new and improved" formula it's not for the better and you're once again on the hunt for somthing to replace it with. But I've been using the new formula for a few weeks and I really like it.
I am 68 yrs. old and have Rosacea. I used Cetaphil products for many years, but as I aged, the gentle cleanser in the old formulation started to cause stinging. The new one does not! I am also using the new formulations in the moisturizers and sunscreens. Wonderful products! I am a registered nurse who works with older adults and I feel very comfortable recommending these products. I also recommend the Restoraderm products for skin on the body.
For some reason, my skin is very sensitive. I cannot even tolerate Cerave, Cetaphil, or Vanicream. Aveeno's oat cleanser works amazing on my skin for those that want a non-foaming cleanser, I recommend that one.
i use tretinoin/retin-A 0.025% (a retinoid) every other night, which can make my skin more prone to dryness (i have combo skin that is oilier during the warmer months & dryer in the colder months). the Aveeno oat cleanser is the ONLY cleanser that doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or tight afterwards. i’ve tried so many different brands and cleanser and i always prefer Aveeno’s oat cleanser
wow thanks for the recommendation, the cetaphil old formula was the only one gentle enough to work for me. Ingredients like cetearyl alcohol, niacinamide irritate the hell out of my skin. I also cant use cerave or vanicream they over dry my skin. Definitely going to give that aveeno oat cleanser a go
I'm glad they changed the formula for the daily facial cleanser. I currently have a bottle of the old formula and I'm having trouble trying to finish it. It was nice at first but overtime I found it drying and stripping in comparison to others cleansers I've used. The strange thing is I don't even have dry skin. I have combination to oily skin and it was a little too much even for me. I'm debating whether to give them a second chance with this new formulation 🤔
My skin is very sensitive when I first was looking for a gentle cleanser I tried the Cetaphil many years ago. I didn't like it my skin didn't feel soft or hydrated enough. I then tried the Cerave products, I used these products for almost 10 years, until, they changed the packaging. My skin didn't like the new formula at all . I finally found my beloved cleanser that I do enjoy using :) The Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Creamy cleanser is my favorite ♥ The cleanser is paraben & fragrance free. I use this cleanser also to remove my eye makeup, love it :) Thanks for sharing this review :)
I’m exactly the same, the only cleanser my skin likes and that works for me is the neutrogena creamy ❤️. I also use to love the old cerave products, the daily moisturizing lotion was my holy grail moisturizer for years, but now it breaks me out, is too thick/sticky and less hydrating, I hate it. What moisturizer do you use? I’m still on the hunt for a good one and we seen to have similar skin and preferences lol. Thanks 😊
Yes, I divorced from cetaphil long time ago because it’s too drying for my kids who have eczema and switched to vanicrram. But will definitely try these new cetaphil. Thank you for the review!
I’m one who “divorced” myself from Cetaphil decades ago, when it aggravated my then-undiagnosed rosacea ~ but now I’m willing to give one of those cleansers a try!! 🤔🤗👍🎉
I’ve never bought any Cetaphil cleanser because I’ve heard that they can be a tad bit drying for drier skin types like mine, but the reformulations are quite intriguing. Also, hope you have a great day!
@@ms.jessica5910 Some chemicals have a smell so even if it says fragrance free, it may have a smell from other ingredients. This can affect certain people like me who get severe migraines from certain smells so I need something truly fragrance free where the product actually has no smell at all.
@Teacher Lady, She is talking about 2 different products. The Cetaphil daily facial cleanser is not fragrance free. The Cetaphil gentle cleanser is fragrance free.
I wish they could’ve kept the old formula and just added this new line of products :( also I don’t think that they do smell the same to me. I find the new formula scent to not be as pleasant. Very upset!!
This new formula for the gentle skin cleanser was absolutely terrible for my daughter and I. I didn’t realize it until I did a deep dive on Reddit and saw so many people commenting the same results. A burning stinging face with red blotches all over my face. I also had bumps all over my face. A trip to the dermatologist confirmed my findings. Maybe some will be ok with this but for me this was disastrous.
I’m in the same boat. I changed my birth control back in August and bought the “new and improved” Cetaphil around November. I started breaking out around December. I thought it was the birth control, but all this time I bet it’s this crappy new formula. I’m thinking of switching to La Roche Posay. Good luck to you, I hope you find something that works! 🤞🏻❤️
Oh my God, so shocked.. many people commenting this a new formulation is not worth on their skin, in the past i've used the old formulation this product comedogenic, clog pores on my skin... I think wanna to tried this new formulation but too afraid this new formulation same the old formulation irritated or clog pores on my skin
Me too! :( I picked up the new formula today and it INSTANTLY started stinging where my skin is driest around my nose and mouth! The addition of Niacinamide also means we can’t layer with Vitamin C anymore 🫠 Now I don’t know of a cleanser that keeps my sensitive skin from flaring up !
I feel like crying. I was wondering why my face has become so bumby and dull. I thought it was the hyaluronic acid, but was wondering why 2 months after cutting it out why my skin looks horrible.
Love these "1-Brand" reviews! I used to use the Gentle Skin cleanser but as you said, it doesn't remove eye makeup at all. It breaks it up somewhat but doesn't actually remove it. I am digging their new Healthy Radiance Exfoliating cleanser. Very gentle and leaves my skin very smooth. :)
The new gentle cleanser is not for me. It was kind of drying and by the fourth day it made me itch all over like a lunatic. I used the previous one for over a decade in winter for face and body. No active ingredients worked well. Now the search begins again with a dry, red, irritated face going into winter. Not happy. The original stuff never done me wrong like that.
Me too and the same with my mom. I’ve been using the original for 28 years. My then 1 year old had some skin issues and her dermatologist prescribed it to her. I tried it and loved it. Told my daughter’s doctor and she said her whole family used it and she increased my refills. My whole family had used it. With the new formulation, we all were affected with terrible itchy skin. I feel like they did not test this enough.
Cetaphil has two new urea moisturizers that appear to be dupes of Galderma’a discontinued Excipial line. I hope you can review their new moisturizers as well.
This new formula smells like flowers to me. I can tell a big difference between the new and old one. I used the old one for several years and am finding that the fragrance is irritating for me and I'm seriously disappointed. I think I'm switching to cera ve!
I used to use the gentle cleanser in the past and it was wonderful soft gentle with no irritation. I see it says improved now and I tried it and I got irritated!! :(
I used to love the gentle hydrating cleanser and the moisturizing cream but the reformulation gave me such a horrible breakout 😭 I think it was the niacinamide, my skin doesn’t always get along with that ingredient but it’s sad because these were some of the few products my extra sensitive and ultra dry skin could handle. Unfortunately vanicream isn’t moisturizing enough.
It made my face burn with the new formula. And if my significant other used it, it would also make my skin burn if he touched me. I loved the product and used it for many years since it’s advertised for sensitive skin, but now I can’t anymore.
@@Berkimelon cetaphil daily facial wash was the only one that didnt mess my skin up and my skin hates Niacinamide. Now I have no idea what facial wash to use now
Yup! The old formula always gave me a sting feeling, after. I really thought I was the only one who was feeling it, but thank goodness I'm not crazy lol
I’ve been using the Daily Facial Cleanser for years now. My cheeks start tingling, like a pins & needles sensation near my nose. Not sure if this is the same as the “stinging” people experience. It was the Daily Facial cleanser. New formulation, same thing. Switched to Cerave Cream to Foam. Better cleaning experience & no more tingling. Have to use less. Better for oily skin in my case. Fragrance free. switching to fragrance free then going back to ceta daily and it just smells so bad & strong. Tried the new Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, and hated it. Bad cleaning experience and feels like it numbs your lips. Just a bad experience.
I am now considering Cetaphil the new formulation seems good Dr dray Please make a video of Cerave new formulation as well so we can decide especially their Hydrating cleanser 🙏
Nooope. Their new gentle cleanser formula gave me contact dermatitis. My skin was so irritated after using it for 2 days. They shouldnt have changed it
Same here, niacinamide doesn’t go well with my skin. I’ve tried their new formulation and my skin broke out real bad after 4 days of usage. I had to buy 10 250ml bottles of their old formulation just so I have stock until the end of the year. I really hope Galderma would still make the old formulation just for the sake of their loyal consumers who are used to the old one.
Off to Walmart to buy some new Cetaphil! What wonderful changes they’ve made! I can’t wait til you do a review on the new and improved moisturizers. If they’re as good as the cleansers I’ll pick one of those up as well. Happy Friday Andrea and thank you for everything you do for us😘💐
You must be the only person on earth not to complain about the new formula because I know dozens of people that broke out because of it and even more all over the internet
The Cetaphil Gentle Clear Cleanser will forever be a mainstay in my regimen. It was the first cleanser I tried after switching over from "natural beauty". Im on my 5th month of using it with the matching moisturizer and my face looks amazing!! I'm also really glad its a cream based cleanser as other acne cleansers are super drying.
@@lism2164 Im using the Cetaphil Gentle Clear Acne Mattifying moisturizer. Its from the same line as the cleanser. My skin is super oily, acne prone, and I have hyperpigmentation but this has been really helping me. Oh and sunscreen! Lol
I used to use the old gentle face cleanser religiously in the winter. Bought the new stuff and broke out in hives and my skin was hot to the touch 🥴. I use the daily facial one in the summer. Haven’t tried the new one of that cleanser but a little nervous. I’ve gone through the ingredients and have no idea what caused such irritation but I’m so bummed!
I just bought the new cetaphil gentle cleanser not realising the formula had changed... it totally broke me out! :( i finally found a cleanser that was sutiable for my skin and got rid of ALL my acne... now it's all coming back :( i am so upset.
I have the same experience. I’m pretty sure it’s because of the niacinamide they added. Heartbroken and on the hunt for a new cleanser that won’t break me out again 🥲💔
I just had that same experience, and it is weird because I’ve been using the new formula for around 4 weeks, and didn’t suffered any side effects, until today, my face got really red and it was hot. Is sad and upsetting because we as costumers expect to receive a product as better as the old formula
The new Gentle Cetaphil Cleanser formula is NO LONGER "FUNGAL ACNE SAFE." If you loved the older formulations, my friend just bought the Equate generic at Walmart that is still based on the old formula.
On this channel, Dr Dray has said multiple times there's nothing such as 'fungal acne safe'. It's a bogus term plus a Cleanser that makes contact with the skin for such little time won't improve or aggravate fungal acne.
@@taiyabazaheer9492 I am not a cult follower, and I have personally gone through malassezia folliculitis. There are certain ingredients that feed the yeast. When you put the wrong product on, your skin gets worse. If you aren't speaking from personal experience and are just parroting Dr Dray like a cult follower, it is unnecessary. I have heard Dr Dray's opinion on this before, and it goes against my personal experience. Also, the previous Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser was recommended to me last year by MY DERMATOLOGIST. It is best to have more than one source and to still expand your own knowledge. Otherwise you are just a mindless cult follower. Best of luck with that.
So upset that they’ve changed it :( it used to work so well for me and instantly would make my skin feel so much better. Now with this new formula, it genuinely feels like it’s doing absolutely nothing
I’m not happy about these changes. Too many products have too much of that stuff and it irritates my skin. Niacinamide and hyaloronic acid irritates my skin and everything has these ingredients. I’ve had to stop using CeraVe, and most neutrogena, also most of oil of Olay. A couple of months ago I bought a small of cedaphil face and body cream, I was liking that. Now I can’t get it anymore. I’ve done an exhaustive search for products that I can actually use without irritating and burning. 😡
I used the new formula for the dry sensitive skin cleanser this evening and my face started burning after massaging it into my skin for about 30 secs and I looked up at the mirror and my face was extremely red, it looked like I had just had microneedling. I panicked and immediately started rinsing it off and the burning was so intense so I took an antihistamine and it took over an hour for my skin to calm down. I've never reacted to a skincare product like this before. Definitely won't be using it ever again as clearly i'm very allergic to it
I came here looking for this comment, I’ve been using the new formula for around tree weeks and didn’t notice any difference comparing it to the old one (beside the new obnoxious smell). I noticed some redness on my skin (not that alarming) only when I wash it with the new cetaphin formula after shaving with razor blade, so I started using a electric one, and didn’t notice any redness ever since, until about 20 minutes ago, my sking got really really red, and it felt super hot. Of course I got really stressed out
I remembered trying out the old formulations (cause that's what's alot of people recommend me when I used to use have bad acne). I thought it never work and also it did gave me bad breakouts. Now really interested with the new formulations! I bought the travel gentle cleanser size and so far loving it for the colder seasons!
I find the new formula to be very drying. I’m not a fan at all and think I’ll need to find a new face wash unfortunately. So bummed because I’ve used this for years! It also smells different to me than the previous version.
I am one of those who are sensitive to phenoxyethanol. When I use a product that has it on my face, my eyes burn (even when I apply well away from my eyes), and I get small raised itchy bumps on my face. And if I use a mascara with it, it burns my eyes like crazy even more. So hard to find products without it now, since there's pressure to go paraben-free, and phenoxyethanol seems to be the default substitute. I'm happy to see these reformulations that don't use it.
Thank you for today's video. I will try the new Cetaphil cleanser. I did get the new Cetaphil Moisturizing cream for dry skin, and like it. Will you be doing a video on their new moisturizers and creams?
The old Cetaphil moisturizing lotion formula kept my skin clean and moist. The new formula burns my skin and feels like I’m rubbing a slice of lemon on my face. Time to shop for a different brand.
I really like the new formulas! I can't stand the masking fragrance personally. The gentle skin cleanser I find friends way better used on dry skin first! Try it!
I have normal to combo skin and love using the gentle cleansing versus the daily cleansing. Even though my T-zone can get oily I loved the gentle cleansing because it would help remove makeup, leave my face clean and soft. I just picked up the new formulation and haven’t had any issues, just don’t really like the smell….not too terrible but weird like plastic. I used to love their antibacterial bar soap but after a while it was too harsh. Other than the cleanser I don’t use many of their products
Update***** I definitely do not like the new formulation as it dries me out/broke out in rash like patches on my forehead. Had to run out to a mom and pop store/beauty supply to find the original
Thanks so much for the review. The new formulas sound great! I recently bought the gentle clear cleanser and love the thick , creamy texture. Not drying for my skin at all. Happy Friday. I hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a wonderful weekend! 💖
I love the new Cetaphil moisturizing cleanser! I have always preferred Cetaphil cleansers over Cerave’s. They are gentler on the eyes and I love their textures.
Thank you for sharing info on the change in ingredients. I’ve used the gentle skin cleanser for years; unfortunately the new formulation has been leaving my skin burning and bright red similar to a fresh sunburn for the first 5 minutes after use. Thinking it may be sensitive to the niacinimide
Yes, I was hoping for the review as well. I don't want to purchase the cream to find out the reformulation isn't good. Have you tried it yet compared to the original formula
New formula is more harsh to skin imo. I saw at Walmart the new formula was being sold so I bought 5 packs of the original gentle skin cleanser for all skin type at Costco in bulk last month. Went today and sure enough all the old formulas were gone there as well.
I like the new formula to gentle skin cleanser. I want to go purchase daily cleanser next. I will give a review after I use the daily cleanser. The important step is to clean vigorously when using this cleanser and use a towel afterwards.
i just got my new formulation cetaphil gentle skin cleanser for all skin types , and when i just used it for the first time and it stung my skin which never happened before with the older formulation. i dont think niacinamide irritates my skin(?) since i’ve been using the ordinary’s 10%niacinamide+ 1%zinc and nothing wrong happened with it so far (abt 5months?)
I’ve used the old gentle skin cleanser for a very long time, almost 6 years. I thought it would be very nice with the new formula (I tried the dry sensitive one) but it caused me a very big break out while using it and I’m stil facing its consequences :(. The new one burned my face like 30s after applied, especially when I used it for the eyes-surrounding zone, my eyes was really hurt. And the worse part is, my face started to have oil even I’m a dry-normal skin :((.
Hi dr dray hope you're having a great day, I'd really appreciate if you can make a video Sharing ur thoughts and feelings about: the new reformulation of Missha first treatment essence, new drunk elephant C firma vitamin C powder, cerave doubling the amount of niacinamide in their products, Cetaphil using phenoxyethanol instead of parabens, latest FAB sudden reformulations, Paula's choice getting acquired by Unilever!???...... Hope you can cover some of these points in future videos❤️
I reach out to FAB about their sneaky formula change, especially the FAB ultra repair cream changing the extract to an essential oil and still taunting it for eczema and sensitive skin? While it’s ok to have a formula change, what isn’t ok is not informing their customers . Oh I wasn’t aware that Cerave double the amount of niacinamide interesting , great request Elias I hope Dr Dray makes a video too as we love her thoughts and feelings on such topics 😊
You know she's not a vit c fan? I know some other channels have reviewed it though. A lot of brands have gone to phenoxyethanol instead of parabens due to the fear of parabens. It's also not unusual for brands to reformulate products after being acquired by other companies (FAB and DE come to mind). k-beauty brands seem to be notorious for reformulating their stuff (No BS Beauty has a recent video about the Missha essence; she wasn't happy about it).
@@db-gb5xi I know dr dray not a Vit.C fan but I'd really like to hear what she's to say about all of those changes, oh I love Sarah over no bs beauty, I must have missed the video you're referring to, I'm heading there to watch it, thank you for sharing 😘
I used Cetaphil lotion for 10 years. I'm allergic to new glycerin (it's made from soy). :< I used it for 4 days and felt horrible, in the same way I feel when I put soybean oil on my skin. Also not sure if Niacinamide irritates my skin, too, or not, but my skin definitely felt tight and red. I have some empty-ish bottles of the old formula left. I have 0 idea what I'm going to do when they run out. My face has already been very sad because I've been trying to thin the old formula with aloe and a little oil. :
Started using the Cetaphil lotion today for sensitive skin. I love hoe it feels on my skin so far. I hope it's good fo me. Thinking about trying the cleansers too.
I am an older woman who still breaks out and don't wear foundation, so my physician recommends Spectro Derm. I use Cerave currently and prescription products for acne. I get VERY DRY, ALMOST SCABBY but I am also still really oily- I've got the old Cetaphil in my Amazon cart- I'd appreciate your advice. I also rely on Aveeno's soap free, oatmeal bar- everything causes zits and I am a bit fed up! Excellent video as always. Namaste.
So frustrated to realise the new formula containing niacinamide. No wonder my skin has been breaking out 😭😭 also does anyone else find the new one has an off putting scent??
