Hello people of the interweb!
How is 2017 treating you? I hope good! My days have been going pretty good so far. So today, I decided to write a skin care related blog post. My skin suffered a major breakout phase as I used a product that my skin didn't like so I decided to use these products and I have been using them for over a month now and I absolutely love them.
They are great for my super sensitive skin which reacts to anything and everything that I use on it. So I figured why not share them with you people.
Okay now let's talk a bit about what my skin type is. I have very dry and extremely sensitive skin. Anything that is heavily scented reacts pretty badly to it and causes huge red zits. So, that being said I prefer to use products that are fragrance free. But there are not a lot of products in Indian market that are fragrance free. So I decided to look up on Amazon and I found this very famous brand ( that I have seen a lot of other beauty bloggers mention about as well) "CETAPHIL". So I decided to give it a try as it was affordable and also had certain good chemicals in it ( and yes, there is such a thing as "good chemicals" ).
So I bought the Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser, Cetaphil moisturizing cream and the Cetaphil daily advance ultra hydrating lotion.
1 .CETAPHIL GENTLE SKIN CLEANSER
PRICE: 390 Rs for 250 ml ( you can also check the 125 ml one which is under 250 Rs )
MY REVIEW:
- I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CLEANSER! It is extremely gentle on your skin and it doesn't strip off the natural moisture from your skin. It also leaves my skin feeling extremely smooth and soft.
- It has shiny white milky consistency and it almost looks like water when applied on skin but it does the job of getting rid of all the gunk off of your face pretty well.
- I prefer to use it on dry face and then wash it as opposed to wet face but you can use it whichever way your heart desires.
I read some people's complaints that it leaves a greasy residue on their face after they are done cleaning their face so I was kind of sceptical about this product in the beginning because nobody likes that greasy residue feeling on their face but I am happy to report that it did not do anything like that to my skin.
PROS:
- It has NO FRAGRANCE which is one of the best things about this product.
- It is non-comedogenic which means it won't clog your pores.
- It has a pH of 6.3-6.5 which is very close to the normal pH of your skin so it doesn't disrupt your skin's natural pH.
- It is non-irritating.
- It is said that it is safe to use this product even on babies
- It has Cetyl alcohol which is considered a good alcohol.
- It can be used by all skin types.
- It has parabens.
- It is tested on animals.
2.CETAPHIL DAILY ADVANCE ULTRA HYDRATING LOTION
PRICE: 338 Rs for 100 g ( But I got mine for 320 on Amazon so always check Amazon )
MY REVIEW:
- This is my holy grail moisturizer now. It is light on skin so it doesn't leave that heavy greasy feeling on your skin that usually moisturizers do but that doesn't mean it sucks at moisturizing your skin. It says that is meant to provide intense moisture for dry, sensitive skin and it is totally true to its claims.
- It is white in color and it spreads pretty easily on the skin.
PROS:
- It is non-greasy.
- It is non-comedogenic so it won't clog your pores.
- It is fragrance free.
- Small amount goes a long way.
- Affordable price.
- It has good alcohols in it.
- No parabens.
CONS:
- It is tested on animals.
- It is not easily available in the market.
3. CETAPHIL MOISTURIZING CREAM
PRICE: 326 Rs for 80 g
MY REVIEW:
- It is a good product but I don't love it as much as I love the other 2 products. And the reason for that being that it leaves a little bit of that greasy feeling on your skin that typically moisturizers do. But it does the job of moisturizing your skin well.
- It has a waxy consistency so it doesn't spread easily on the skin.
PROS:
- It has good alcohols in it
- No parabens.
- Fragrance free.
- Great for people with extremely dry skin (especially during winters).
CONS:
- It is a little greasy so definitely not good for people with oily skin.
- It is tested on animals.
- It is not easily available in the market.
MY OVERALL RATING: 3.8 stars
So those were all the products that I use on my face. They are super gentle and great for sensitive skin and I would highly recommend them for people with highly sensitive and dry skin. My mom has really sensitive skin too (even more than mine ) and even she likes these products a lot. Check them out on amazon as they are always available at a discounted price there. I'll include the links in case you want to buy them.

So that is all.I hope this helped.
And I hope you enjoyed reading this.
Lots of love,
Natasha
