Kayla Itsines suffered from acne for years.
She tried countless expensive cleansers and treatments, before stumbling across a $17 cleanser at her local supermarket.
In an Instagram story this week, the fitness influencer credited Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser for clearing her acne-proned skin.
“I need to stop you ladies for second,” she wrote in the story. “I’m getting heaps of questions about my ‘perfect skin’… my skin is FAR from perfect. I had acne as a teenager and still have it now.”
She then shared two photos – one before she started using Cetaphil and one after she became a regularly user of the cult cleanser.

This cleanser may work for some but it certainly not for me. I used to cleanse with the Cetaphil cleanser a few years ago because it claimed to hypoallergenic and "gentle". My face turned into a horrible red, itchy nightmare. I did a bit of research on the ingredients and found out that this "gentle" cleanser had a cocktail of skin irritating chemicals like SLS, parabens and alcohol! Please don't buy into influencers advertising campaign. It costed me much much more than $17 for medications and visits to the doctor to help calm my skin. I now learned that I need to be more proactive and diligent researching on skincare products before I buy. Do the research on ingredients of skincare products and see which would be suitable for your skin.
