I have very oily skin and my dermatologist suggested the Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser, but it's pricey and the reviews aren't great. Being dark‑skinned, I was a bit skeptical, so I went back to this original formula but noticed the recipe has changed. I'm not the only one - I saw another post mentioning the same thing. Ever since Unilever bought Minimalist, I haven't heard good things. Still, I want to test if it works, so I'll use it for the next 2 months and see. Meanwhile, I'd love some good face‑wash recommendations for oily skin that aren't Cetaphil. I still use Simple, but it doesn't seem to do much. I'm also getting my acne back; I was on isotretinoin last year and now it's flaring up again. I'm frustrated, but the dermatologist says I can't take it again. So any solid face‑wash suggestions would help. Thanks!

Not much difference between Cetaphil and Minimalist. Maybe 100/200.
You'd be better off consulting your dermatologist for alternatives since you've already been on prescription medication before.
I use the Cetaphil Oily Cleanser and it's good.
Get the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser - it's worth the money. I've tried Simple, Minimalist, Joy PH, Derma Co and Cetaphil, but nothing matches CeraVe's foaming formula for my oily, dark skin.
I use a pharma‑grade face wash, and right now I'm using Bencol peroxide soap, which has helped with my back acne.
Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Cleanser is amazing; it's been seriously overlooked.
I guess I've been living under a rock for the past 3 years. When did this acquisition actually happen?
I have combination‑sensitive skin, so I stick to Bioderma's pink face wash.
You can thank Unilever for this.
