  • I absolutely love this product we tried the Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo and even tried the baby lotion. Loved both products. My favourite by far was definitely the lotion, it left my son feeling so smooth and smelling so nice. Even the wash and shampoo was nice, didn’t create to many bubbles but left him smelling nice and was definitely clean.

  • I have given this product a little while now and Bub is still not having a reaction and his skin is so so so soft. I am a convert. I will only buy cetaphil baby from now on. His skin has never been better and neither has mine. Great product!

  • I wasn’t sure what to expect, after using it once on my 3 month old I was amazed by how soft her skin was initially after bathing. Her skin can dry out and even the next morning was still so soft and not dry at all! The smell is also lovely. I’m now using it with my toddler also! Very surprised that it works so well and being free from harsh chemicals makes it the best I’ve tried so far!

    Smells amazing, leaves my little ones skin super soft and produces lots of bubbles for play time in the bath!!

  • I am a mum who loves and trust Cetaphil after it was recommended to me by a doctor for my little ones skin she would suffer from dermatitis and as a mum this can be very frustrating I tried many different things but Cetaphil was the wash and moisturiser for us as it was so gentle and it cleared her skin
    I also use Cetaphil on my own dry skin and it leaves it feeling and looking soft and hydrated Thankyou for the trial as I was able to share my love for Cetaphil with others

  • We love the cetaphil gentle wash and shampoo. It’s a great top to toe wash. It smells nice, it’s gentle on our babies skin and it’s easy. I would highly recommend it to other families.

  • Cetaphil Baby gentle wash and shampoo is such a great product. No tears, gentle on skin and a delicate scent. My 6 month old has dry skin and I have tried so many products which have not been and gentle as cetaphil and no wonder as they smell so heavily perfumed when you open them. I have been pleasant surprised at how wonderful this product is, my daughters skin has been feeling nice and soft and now moisterised than normal. I would reccomend and will be continuing to use this fantastic product

  • I found the smell a bit over powering in the bath but it didn’t smell too much on my kiddies afterwards & they didn’t seem to mind the smell, made heaps of bubbles easily which they enjoyed, A little hard to control how much came out when squeezing but overall a nice product albeit a bit too strong scent wise for me

  • I have those kids – you know the ones that love a bath or shower. That will happily sit there dousing the bathroom with water and laughing so loud the neighbours wonder when we installed a pool. But when shampoo time rolls along the neighbours can probably hear the protests and general thrashing around and Mum negotiating a losing argument about how it wont hurt their eyes blah blah! In comes Cetaphil Gentle Wash and Shampoo. This week we tried it for the first time.
    The was the liquid was CLEAR! Which the kids thought was so cool, it was almost like WATER. Oh wait…..so water doesnt hurt eyes….low and behold they let me wash them and apply to their hair. Then they sat there splashing me, each other, the walls, the floor…without realising they had shampoo in their hair! Shortly after washing it out the 4 year old (going on 14) commented on how nice the smell was – while the bub happily splashed us both with bubbles all over his face!
    The verdict in our house is a resounding and positive one. Cetaphil and Mum 1 – Kids 0

    We have a winner – will purchase and will become our regular bathroom arsenal!

  • Great product. I have always used the cetaphil moisturiser so this is a great addition to my babies wash routine. It’s smells amazing and left her skin soft and not dry

  • I loved the smell of this one and it was gentle on my sons skin. He suffers with eczema and this wash being soap free is ideal for him. I also need to moisturise him after every bath to keep his skin moisturised and this was a great, lovely smell and nice on his skin with no burning or irritations

  • I was given the opportunity to use Ceptaphil by MoM.
    It was a great product to use. It was easy to lather and smells nice.
    Both hair and skin was so soft. It amazed me as some bodywashes makes the hair on a baby dry while washing. However Ceptaphil was the opposite made baby hair soft during and after washing.
    Will highly recommend to other parents to use on their baby. I will be buying this product.

  • Cetaphil wash was easy to apply and use. It left my son with nice soft skin and doesn’t have an overpowering scent. We will definitely be buying it again as its so gentle on his delicate skin

  • All I can say is that the bub loves it and so does the mom! The product is kind and gentle on the skin (mom’s included) and fragrance wise – its very mild as compare to others out there. Love it!

  • I love this cetaphil baby gentle wash and shampoo and the daily lotion. My sons skin is very sensitive, so it so nice to find a product that is gentle on his skin but also does what it claims. Anyone I’m asked which baby bath products I use I rave about these ones. Highly recommend his product to any new mummies or mummies wanting to try a great product

    How would you rate this product now that you've tried it?


  • I loved the fact that the bottle was super easy to get the product out unlike other brand where you have to squeeze the tube or make a mess.
    The smell of the Cetaphil wash was lovely but not overpowering like some other brands! My little girl has very sensitive skin and has had no rashes or irritation with this product! I would highly recommend it to other Mums

  • It has a beautifull smell. It’s gently to use in baby skin. The packaging is well design. I just would suggest to make the hole smaller so I don’t through away much product.

    How would you rate this product now that you've tried it?


  • First off, the packaging got a big tick as it is easy and ergonomical to hold with bumps and grooves to prevent slipperiness. The wash was gentle on my kids’ skin and didn’t leave them dry which has been an issue with other brands this winter and also left my hands feeling great. Such a pleasant fragrance and makes the right amount of bubbles creating a fantastic bathing experience. Even the grandparents give it a big thumbs up.

    The only thing to note is the liquid comes out quite easily from the bottle so be careful not to squeeze too tight to avoid waste as the liquid is quite fluid and it can be bit difficult to try and squeeze out only a small amount – hence why I rated the wash down a bit.

  • I used Cetaphil on my 2 yr old and 5 yr old as they both have very sensitive skin and even in the bath end up scratching themselves so much they can bleed. WELL not this time!!!! Both of them did not scratch once! Their skin was so soft when they got out. I’m very impressed and will definitely purchase some more to have in our house permanently.
    Thank you Cetaphil for making a product that doesn’t react with my girls skin!!!!

  • We loved it. The smell is divine and lingered all day. The boys are prone to dry skin and between the wash and the cream their skin definitely looked and felt more moisturised. I will definitely buy again and recommend to all my friends. Two thumbs up.

  • Very happy with Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo. The whole family can use it, which is a big plus for me as I hate a full shower caddy full of products. Also have used this brand before, and is a trusted brand in my household. Thumbs up from us.

  • This stuff was sent from the heavens., my kids loved it. it was so gentle on their skin and has not one tear when it went in their eyes! Highly Recommend!
    I struggle to find a wash that helps for sensitive skin, but now I am glad I got the chance to review this product as it works wonders and I am now stocking up my cupboards with it. I have recommended it to all my mummy & daddy friends, it is the best purchase I have made in a while after the receiving the samples!!

  • Best baby wash I’ve used yet
    So gentle on both my girls eczema prone skin. My 3yr old loved how it bubbled up and was really happy when it didn’t hurt her eyes
    And my 5mth old loved it and didn’t scream like she normally would as her skin is really sensitive!! Highly recommend to other mums

  • Ok hands the best wash I have used on my 10minth old. I have found most products that claim they say gentle are in fact not. My littles ones skin has been really dry during these winter months and this products has helped so much! It also leaves a beautifully clean,unobtrusive and soft fragrance. I have found my new Go- to product for bathtime. Loving Cetephil Gentle wash and Shampoo

  • I have faith in the Cetaphil brand having used other products previously. I see them as being scientifically proven rather than just soaps. I was disappointed with the packaging and the product. Firstly I tried to get a small amount out of the bottle and it squirted everywhere, same thing happened to my husband. It’s not an attractive bottle either. Then I used as a shampoo for my 8 month old, it didn’t seem to lather/rinse as well as the Johnsons baby shampoo and didn’t smell as fresh.
    It’s not a bad product, it does what it says it does, but I had higher expectations for this brand.

  • I’v been looking to replace the current brand I’m using for my kids as they don’t seem to be organic as they claim to be. Thanks to this project I found Cetaphil. I would definitely be buying it in the future. Kids seem to like it. My son has eczema & Cetaphil is gentle on his skin. I’v given the samples to mums at my playgroup. They are excited to try Cetaphil as well. I highly recommend cetaphil wash & lotion.

  • We found Cetaphil baby gentle wash and shampoo to be a perfect match for my baby’s sensitive skin. We have tried other products but they have all left both my boys with dry patches of skin. It smells nice and makes bubbles when used as a bath wash. We are really happy with cetaphil and will continue to use regularly.
    As you can see from the picture both my big boy and baby boy enjoy bath time !

  • We haven’t used bath wash products on baby ver regularly, opting instead for water on it’s own. I don’t think she has particularly sensitive skin, but my immediate thought was that her skin felt dry and flakey after using the cetaphil- I could feel patched on both her elbows which isn’t usual. Sure I was imagining it, I decided to try it on myself later, and found the same result. My skin looks very dried out, I can see white flakey layer.

    I also didn’t like how much product squirts out. I only use a really small amount of normally and I couldn’t control how much was coming out. Far too much for a baby, in my opinion. I imagine half of it is just washing straight down the drain!

    How would you rate this product now that you've tried it?


  • Bubs and I love the smell, it has a soothing effect. What I love the most is there’s no more screaming because Cetaphil is gentle even when they accidently rub it into the eyes. So glad that we were introduced to this amazing product.

  • ‘We had lots of fun in my bath wth this soap. It felt so gentle on my skin when my mummy cleaned me. She put a bit too much in the bath and it made soo many bubbles. She even gave me a bubble hat!
    The smell was yummy and the shape of the bottle would have fitted perfectly in my hands if they were a little bigger!
    I’ll make sure to recommend this product to my other baby friends.

  • I found Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo to be very gentle on my baby’s skin, and it left the skin feeling soft and clean. Baby enjoyed using it, as it was a no-tears formula and I liked the subtle scent. It is convenient that the product can be used on both the body and hair. It’s great that it is soap-free and hypoallergenic because my baby’s skin can be a bit sensitive. I also liked that the product contained glycerin which made my baby’s skin feel more moisturised afterwards.

  • First time trying Cetaphil Gentle Wash & Shampoo on our 1 year old and 3 year old last night. Our 1 year old gets pretty dirty, especially his hair which he always decides to run his grubby hands through after attacking his dinner. Cetaphil Gentle Wash & Shampoo worked well to remove all his dinner from his hair and the daily dirt and grime our two boys have after a day of playing outside.
    Cetaphil Gentle Wash & Shampoo is clear in colour and quite runny, so it was hard to tell how much you had in your hand in order to wash the boys properly. It was also hard for our 3 year old to tell how much he had to wash himself with, meaning he used more than he needed. Other than that it smelt great and seems to have left the boys skin refreshed.

  • I am really loving this quality product. It is so gentle and mild, it really looks after my daughter’s skin which can get dry and is prone to eczema on occasion. It makes bath time fun with gorgeous little bubbles and I am happy to see my daughter’s skin is more smooth as a result.

  • Packaging – Love the feel of the bottle, it’s a good size, the bumps make it easy to grip in the shower; although the squeeze seal thing is a great idea I find it difficult to squeeze small amounts out of the bottle.
    Product – Pleasant fragrance, bubbles easily, gentle on skin and bub enjoyed her shower.

  • I have to say I’m super impressed with this product!
    It made plenty of bubbles in the bath which in turn made for two happy babies! It’s super soft and gentle on their skin, and the babes smell amazing after their bath!!
    I will be sharing the samples with friends and letting them see for themselves what an awesome product this is!

  • My baby just loved her bath time. My baby have mild eczema as well . I think this product has made her skin feel soft and les ichy after bath.. I have been using other baby wash for her before but have never felt this soft even though it was recommended by our gp. Will definately recommend to others and will buy this for her

  • So impressed with Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo. I used this on my 2 year old son and even my 8 year old daughter. My son suffers from dry skin which can become irritated at times. Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo was gentle on his sensitive skin and so moisturising.
    What I loved the most about Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo, is the fact that you can use this product on their hair and body. No need to have numerous bottles to do different things. The no tear formula was a total hit with me. No more screams of “MY EYES, MY EYES” anymore.
    And it smells so good. Overall I would consider buying this product again in the future.

  • Product is amazing so far! This house is full of very sensitive skin and it doesn’t seem to be affecting anyone! I am even known for getting contact dermitis on my hands from just washing Bub in the bath. I feel my skin is actually noticeably better using this too. It can take a little while for a reaction to occur though so will update again after about a week.

  • We were using another name brand for baby wash/shampoo and found it was drying out our children’s skin, especially our baby.
    We had the pleasure of reviewing Cetaphil products and my older children, toddler and baby’s skin is so soft and smells absolutely divine. We will now be purchasing Cetaphil products from now on and won’t ever go back to other brands. Thank you for the opportunity to trial the products

  • After the bath, her skin is so soft and smooth. Just by touching her skin I can tell that her skin is nourished and hydrated.
    Bathing daily using other products used to noticeably dry out her skin. But Cetaphil is so gentle, it protects her skin without overdrying it.
