Sebamed Liquid Face and Body Wash for Sensitive Skin, pH 5.5, Mild Gentle Hydrating Cleanser, Hypoallergenic Body Wash for Men and Women, Dermatologist Recommended, 33.8 Fluid Ounces (1 Liter)

I bought is as a face and body wash, as I dont like to deal with too many products in the shower. As a facewash it works great for combination oily skin - I like it better than Cerave foaming wash, at least for the warm season. But is is so heavily perfumed that I always brace myself before using it on my face. Why is this synthetic fragrance necessary at all? I see a few reviews that say this has no fragrance - we may be reviewing different versions of the same product. Also, not a fan of the bright green color: when I drop some on the bathtub, it looks messy and in need of cleaning. For these two reasons - fragrance and colorant - I wont buy it again. Will go back to Cerave foaming wash probably.

I really trust this product and have been using it for a year exclusively. I have very sensitive skin and allergy problems.

Yes, thats right. This is the perfect body wash. I hesitate to call it soap, because it doesnt contain the high ph of all american soap/body wash products. In fact, until recently, it could only be purchased by mail directly from the company, because it didnt meet the U.S. minimum ph requirements for soap. Duh. I dont get it…the low ph means your skin is never dried out or irritated. Ive used this to wash out and clean cuts/abrasions on people and pets and it works great. Gentle and cleansing, but it doesnt sting. And most importantly...(TMI warning here) ATTENTION ALL WOMEN…this is THE product you should be using to clean your lady parts! Forget douching, feminine sprays, or constant washing…it is incompatible with the normal ph, causing said parts to go into overdrive to compensate…Please forgive me for being indelicate, but this soap is a marvel, and a well-kept secret. Not only will YOU be delighted, your boyfriend/husband/partner/lover will thank you.

AMAZING!

I started using sebamed in 2003 when I spent a year in Germany. The only thing that’s changed is that the price has become unreasonable. I found the same sized bottle on walmart.com for $10 less. That price I can live with and will purchase again through them.

When used alone, the sebamed lotion is ineffective against dry itchy skin. My leg was incredibly itchy lately, that I scratched it until it bled. That’s when I decided to also get the body wash. The sales lady for sebamed at Costco told me that it works in combo. It’s all about achieving the correct skin pH of 5.5. I was stubborn and I had just bought the lotion at Costco. When I saw that Amazon also sells the body wash, I decided to take my chances, even though it was pricey. I’m so glad that I did because it works! I use the body wash when showering and the lotion after a shower and early morning before I get to work.

I have been using Sebamed, after seeing it demonstrated at Costco, about 15 years. Im in my 50s and used to get occasional zits. My skin has been CLEAR since switching to Sebamed. I use the face wash, body wash, and moisturizers (the moisturizers -- body and face -- are incredible; no oily feel). If you havent tried it, I highly recommend the entire Sebamed line!

I have battled seborrheic dermatitis on my face and hairline for years. Ive tried so many home remedies and store bought solutions and nothing made a difference. I was skeptical about this one, to say the least. The description said not to expect immediate results but Im here to tell you, after the second day, I could tell a huge reduction in the scaliness of my skin. It did burn the first few days but now it doesnt. Thankfully, I also bought the Sebamed moisturizer and Im glad I did. They have changed my skin in less than a week. Now I just need to purchase the lip balm and shampoo to complete the transformation! The scent is the only thing I would change. The moisturizer and cleanser both have a perfume scent that I wouldnt choose but it doesnt linger. Im sensitive to scents and I can confirm that while its initially off-putting, it doesnt bother me long-term.

The best cleanser I have ever had. I have hormonal acne that rears its ugly head once a month in the form of big inflamed zits full of nothing. I feel this soothing and actually cleanses my skin. Im going to need to buy more because after a couple of uses, I already love it.

Update Jan 8, 2015: This product is still by far the one of the best products that has worked for my teenage daughter for her acne. (Others have worked for short time) She has gotten some dryness but not sure if its caused by our water. On Guam, we have what they call hard water (high chlorine). Still, overall, its the best product for her.....again, not for me as Im in my 40s now and my once-majorly-oily-skin is now drying out. I still give it four stars because of this reason......... Original post on April 14, 2013: Purchased this product after doing online research looking for something to help with my teenage daughters acne problem. Before purchasing this, I bought her face wash that contained salicylic acid. Some had fragrances that her doctor theorized maybe causing her to break out even more. Add to this, she plays sports and we live on a beautiful tropical island. I saw this product online and discovered that Amazon carried it and can opt the Subscribe-and-Save on this product (free shipping!) It arrived mid-January (its now mid April) and am pleased to report it has really helped not only with the acne on her face but also her back. I gave it a four star because when I started to use the product shortly after my daughter, it started to dry my face so I used it infrequently. My daughter doesnt have this issue, though, so thats why I think its good for teenagers rather than older folks like me. Since May to July are the hotter months, we plan to continue assessing to see whether this is a keeper. So far, its the only product that is working for her.
