Cetaphil Oily Skin Lotion removes oil, dirt, skin debris and makeup with a mild lathering action, leaving the skin clean and oil free without the tightness that sometimes follows. It does not clog pores and can be used in conjunction with acne medications. Removes oil without affecting skin barrier function. Skin acts as a barrier, keeping moisture in so it is important that a cleanser works without compromising it. Used twice daily for two weeks, Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser was shown to maintain the barrier function of the skin by not increasing water loss.
