The only soap I’ll use
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I come from a tropical country so when I got here about seven years ago, I had to hunt for products that would work well for my hair and skin. I live in NM so it is dry. The other products I tried irritated my skin, made my skin too dry or it was too loaded with moisturizers. They also didn’t give me the antibacterial protection that I wanted which translates to odor protection. I tried Cetaphil Antibacterial Cleansing Bar and it kept my skin healthy and provided all-day odor protection. I have been using it for years now. I use a different kind of soap for my face but for the rest of me, this is the only soap I’ll use. My husband and my son both use it now too. Amazon has the best price around. I wish I had checked it out sooner. I have a subscription for this product and I love the savings!

Looking for relief from dry skin?
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My director recommended this product when I made a complaint about dry skin. I purchased the product that night. It was expensive, but it worked! I began looking for a less costly way of obtaining this product and when I found the bars on Amazon I was able to compare the cost to the drugstore prices that I’d been visiting. Amazon won!

What a waste!!!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Didn’t do squat for me. Read the ingredients. Has the same chemicals that most soap has that dries your skin which is what you’re trying to avoid. Also, in the enclosed literature, the manufacturer states that with prolonged use the bacteria on your body will become immune to the anti-bacteria ingredients of the product. What a big money ripoff.

Best Soap

I used to get sun rash so bad. I have a friend with perfect skin. She told me that she uses this soap. I started using it and I don’t get sun rash as much any more. My skin is smooth and I just love it! This soap is great for everybody. I have oily skin. You should try it. I highly recommend it.

Good deal

This bar soap is great. As I have a little baby I need to use some antibacterial soap, and this one is the best. As well I use it to wash my hands and in a shower as well. It is moisturizing. I think it make acne go away.

Better then regular Cetaphil
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
A doctor recommended Cetaphil because of a condition with my oil glands that caused my skin to break out. I found that the Antibacterial Cetaphil works better then the regular Cetaphil for clearing out my skin infections. Resent research shows you have to scrup for at least 10 seconds to clean the bacteria out of the skin. This is also good because it does not dry out your skin like regular antibacterial soaps. It does dry out my feet and I do need to put extra oil on them. It is nice at my age (58) to use a gentle soap that will not damage the skin. I like the way I can rinse until my skin is just where I want it, not to much oil and not to dry. This product is well worth the price and seems to last longer then the cheaper bars of soap.

This soap is recommended by many dermatologists for dry skin conditions and it works fabulously.

Great for people with sensitive skin, but why antibacterial?
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
First of all, let me say this soap basically made my eczema go away. No more steroid creams or break out rashes. I’ve been using harsher soaps (dial, ivory) my whole life, and when a dermatologist diagnosed me with eczema in my late 20s, I thought that I’d be applying steroid creams on and off the rest of my life for this “controllable disease.” Not so. After controlling the first few rashes, I started using cetaphil bar soap in the shower and the liquid facial cleanser at night, and 6 months later, I have yet to have a recurrence.

However, Amazon stopped selling the standard bar and decided to jump on the antibacterial bandwagon. I see this as an additional chemical, Triclosan, that has dubious benifit can can cause possible harm– wikipedia can tell you more about this. As somebody who has a sensitive skin condition, I do not need additional ingredients in soap. Yes you can buy the non antibacterial bar on amazon, but since it is not carried by amazon, the price comes out to be 75% more. Crummy.
