Description
Cetaphil Nourishing Oil to Foam Cleanser is a multi-action face wash designed specifically for normal to dry, sensitive skin. It is part of the newer generation of "oil-to-foam" hybrids that aim to provide the deep cleaning power of an oil cleanser with the convenience of a traditional foaming wash.
How It Works
- Oil Phase: When first applied, it has a silky oil texture that "melts" away stubborn makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum.
- Foam Phase: Once you add water, it transforms into a soft, lathering foam that washes away impurities without leaving a greasy residue.
Key Ingredients
- Flaxseed Oil: Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, it helps soothe the skin and replenish essential lipids.
- Pentavitin® (Saccharide Isomerate): A plant-derived carbohydrate complex that binds to the skin to provide up to 24 hours of hydration and strengthen the moisture barrier.
- Soothing Trio: Like many Cetaphil products, it contains Glycerin, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to support the skin's natural barrier.
Benefits
- One-Step Double Cleanse: It is marketed as a way to achieve the results of a double cleanse (oil followed by water-based cleanser) in a single step.
- Non-Stripping: Unlike some foaming cleansers that leave skin feeling "tight," this is formulated to maintain the skin’s natural pH and moisture.
- Sensitive Skin Friendly: It is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic (won't clog pores).
