Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser 473mL is a dermatologist-recommended formula designed to cleanse oily and combination skin effectively without disrupting the skin’s natural moisture balance. This gentle foaming cleanser removes excess sebum, dirt, and impurities while helping to reduce surface oils that can contribute to clogged pores and shine. Unlike harsher astringents or stripping facial washes, its pH-balanced formulation ensures the skin feels fresh, clean, and comfortable with every use.

Featuring a light, non-overdrying lather, Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser is suitable for daily use on both the face and body. It is specifically formulated to minimise irritation, making it an appropriate choice for individuals with oily yet sensitive skin. The cleanser also helps maintain the skin’s protective barrier while improving texture and clarity over time.

The 473mL bottle offers excellent value and convenience, making it ideal for long-term daily use as part of a consistent oily-skin management routine.
