Looking for a a face wash for men right now i have biotherm face wash/exfoilater and bio therm aqua power moisturizer. I want to try something new, is Vichy face products better or neutrogena products better? neutrogena is pretty cheap in price compared to biotherm and vichy products. $10 vs $20-30. Only interested in those 3 brands because thats all they have at shoppers.

[SkinnyPupp]

Believe it or not, Gatsby has good face washes... Black Mega Scrub and Deep Mud Foam is a good combo to use during the week. Should be about $8 each online, but you probably don't want to shop there...

i usually buy cetaphil at shoppers btw

[SkinnyPupp]

Cetaphil is for people with severe skin conditions.. rosacea, wounds, severe acne, etc. I don't know why you would use it under normal circumstances.

hahah yahhh

^the reason its good for people w/ problem skin is because its so gentle on the skin unlike most soaps. i know tons of people who use it as a daily facewash that dont have any problems w/ their skin

-"Cetaphil is so gentle, it is recommended by dermatologists for everyday skin, or even as part of a regime for skin in need of medication."

its not meant to treat skin conditions, its just safe to use for ppl who have them.

agreed.. i got my hands on some gatsby stuff as well.. and its been pretty good =)

[fuhkyu]

I use tea tree oil from the body shop, it was like 13 bux or something like that

[nosleepboy87]

i use laniege from korea. i use to use biotherm but wanted to try something new
believe it or not, vichy is very similar to biotherm as far as how well i works, they are owned by loreal group,
personal opinion i think vichy is better than neutrogena
get some samples and try em all out :D

The point being, if you don't have one of these conditions there's no reason to use it.

Just give up... You failed :lol

^if you cant back up your statements then who failed?

if that doesnt compute then i have nothing left to say to you

Finally... :lol

[What_the?]

cetaphil is used for anyone... it's mild enough to be used on people even with those skin conditions named above...

whereas other cleansers may irritate the skin with the fragrances or strong cleansers, etc...

i highly recommend things like spectro jel and cetaphil (both also available at shoppers), because really they will do the job, and not harm your skin and also not be as overpriced as that vichy or biotherm etc stuff

[Marco911]

I use spectro gel, it is even less harsh than Cetaphil.

No way, I've used both and I found Spectro Gel to be a lot more drying than Cetaphil.

[Nintensity]

Spectro Gel made my skin a lot worse when my mom recommended it. Cetaphil is much better as it smoothes your skin. Spectro just made my skin crack all out.... gah

[Ducdesmo]

I also highly vouche for Spectro Gel/Cetaphil.

[jakz0rz]

I agree that spectro is more harsh than cetaphil

I've tried

zirh, anthony logistics, menscience, biotherm, vichy, as well. I think shoppers carries some of those brands, depends which shoppers you go to.
zirh is the most harsh of all those.

The menscience isn't working that well for me, so if anyone wants to buy it cheap, PM me. Ive used less than 25% of it.

[vvind]

im thinking of going out to buy cetaphil, cause i am using olay deep cleansing face wash, and it drys up my skin and isnt doing too well.. I read cetaphil reviews and it seems like a trusting product. I should go buy a cetaphil to try? and also wwould i realy need a moisturizer for after using the cetaphil? If so, which moisturizer would be good to use with cetaphil?

thanks

[f00tzilla]

zirh gave me an allergic reaction shitttt

[keitaro]

cetaphil! cheepest place i've seen it is costco in the states. Strange since cetalphil is made in Canada.

I've also started using cetaphil's moisturizing creams.

[vvind]

so can i take cetaphil alone? or should i use somethinig after the cetaphil lik a moisturizer or?

[gnu5]

what i found that is erally good is BOSS SKIN, u can get it at london drugs, also one that you cant get there that is also really good is shiseido uno

[MoBettah]

also something with tee tree oil would work too.

Nah man, Tea Tree Oil is a phytoestrogen. Leave that crap to the women.

[cowcowcafe]

i use clarins...great stuff...but more expensive
personally i tried many biotherm products and i dont like it at all

[vvind]

so ifinaly went out to buy the Cetaphil gental face wash
after using it my skin is dry and smooht, no flaky stuff so i gues its decent?
the cetaphil looks like semen when u squeeze it outa the bottle :D lol

[RunningFree]

Almost more importantly than the wash you're using, is the moisturizer.

The better it smells, the more chemicals. Things like menthol and other 'cooling sensation' ingredients are really bad for your skin.

I use Aveeno since it's all natural and good for sensitive skin. Make sure your aftershave and shaving creme are ok for sensitive skin as well!

[brokentelephone]

Totally outrageously expensive, but there is nothing better than the Creme De La Mer facewash -- you actually use so little that it might work out to be not so overpriced, but I could be making that up.

[willystyle]

london drugs sells cetaphil for $15/bottle.. any place else that sells it cheaper?

[Denny]

Superstore sells a knockoff "Exact" brand for about $10 from what I can remember. The ingredients are exactly the same and it felt the same when I used it. I think the bottle was smaller though so be sure to compare the size.

[IfUCare]

Costco has it either 1L or 1.5L bottle for 19.98

[MyPresIzBlack]

Neutrogena mens series is good!

[Marco911]

There are a few types of spectro, I use the most neutral one that has no fragrance. If you check the ingredients list, Spectro has way less harsh ingredients than Cetaphil and used to advertise this fact on the bottle. For instance Spectro has no sodium lauryl sulphate while Cetaphaphil does. SLS is a harsh detergent that gives a product the "nice" lather that people associate with the product working.

I'd go by Science rather than anecdotal experience any day.

[Sid Vicious]

baxter face wash is the shit. also cheap

[JudeChow]

+1 for Spectro Gel
Spectro has different formulas for different skin types, it is PH balanced, lanolin, parabens, and fragrance free. The problem with most cleansers these days is that it works too well, in a sense where it breaks the skin`s natural defence barrier, and strip it of its natural moisture.

I recommend treading lightly on Tee Tree Oil products, you may have a reaction to it like me:(... Used it for 2 days an my whole face went red and like 10-20 pimples started popping up.. took about 1-2weeks to heal leaving some battle scars.. =/ still healing atm... :cry:

[S1 S2]

My sister bought me a set of KIEHL's men products. Used on the face for a few days and had reaction. Its awful. 3 months later and its not still slowly clearing up.

[Harvey Specter]

I swear by Kiehls energizing face wash and the products over at acne.org. I can't even remember the last time I got a zit.

I was using the orange one and it was quite harsh on my skin, even though that was specifically for my skin type. I mean not to go against science, but you can't deny your skin's own reaction to a product.

[Nintensity]

I'm starting to use OXY... IMO its around the same level as cetaphil, if not better.
i'm getting better results too!

Haven't used the orange. I use the purple one, and it's been great.

OT, but my friend's mom bought her Filipina helper Creme De La Mer moisturizer as a Christmas present. Talk about being out of touch!

[Girl]

Hmm you could be right, the orange one has Ethonal which could be the culprit. But don't you live in another country? Could be the humidity levels. It is a lot drier here.

I personally like using Montee Sensitive Milk Cleanser and/or O'Derme Gel Cleanser. The milk cleanser is probably the best face wash I've used to date. Both are a bit pricier than your average face wash though. You're looking at $60-100 depending on where you get it.

[Marco911]

Spectro promotes itself on the fact that it is less harsh and drying than Cetaphil.
