Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser is a foaming gel face wash for oily, combination and acne-prone skin, made with zinc gluconate, niacinamide and panthenol. It lifts away excess oil, sweat and dirt and leaves skin feeling fresh rather than stripped, which helps in hot, humid summers. We sell the original from Cetaphil in a 236ml bottle, shipped from Seoul with Cash on Delivery.

Is Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser right for your skin?
Best for
- Oily and combination skin that feels greasy by the afternoon, especially in summer
- Acne-prone skin that needs a thorough but gentle daily wash
- People who sweat a lot, exercise often or spend time outdoors in humid weather
- Anyone who likes a light foam and a fresh, clean feel after washing
Skip it, or patch-test first, if
- Your skin is dry, flaky or very sensitive: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser or another low-foam cleanser will feel more comfortable
- Strong drying actives such as retinoids or benzoyl peroxide already leave your skin tight: use a gentler cleanser at night
- You want a cleanser with an exfoliating acid for clogged pores: this one has none; COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is a better fit
- You have reacted to foaming cleansers before: patch-test first
How do you use Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser?
Morning
- Wet your face with lukewarm water; very hot water can leave skin feeling tight.
- Lather a small amount between wet hands and massage it over the face, focusing on the T-zone.
- Rinse well and pat dry.
- Apply a light serum, an oil-free gel moisturiser and a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen.
Evening
- Remove sunscreen and makeup first with a cleansing oil or balm.
- Wash with the cleanser as in the morning.
- Apply your serum or active, then a light moisturiser.
If your skin feels tight after washing, use this cleanser at night only and switch to a gentler, low-foam cleanser in the morning.
What are the key ingredients in Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser?
- Zinc gluconate — a zinc salt often used in cleansers for oily skin; helps skin feel less greasy after washing
- Niacinamide (vitamin B3) — supports the skin barrier and helps oily skin look more balanced
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) — helps the skin hold moisture, so it does not feel stripped after a foaming wash
Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser vs Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser: which should you choose?
| Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser | Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Foaming gel | Low-foam milky lotion |
| Best for | Oily, combination and acne-prone skin | Dry, sensitive and normal skin |
| Feel after washing | Fresh and clean | Soft and comfortable |
| Can be wiped off without water | No, rinse off | Yes |
| Size we sell | 236ml | 500ml |
Choose the Oily Skin Cleanser if your skin gets shiny and you like a foaming wash. Choose the Gentle Skin Cleanser if your skin is dry or sensitive, or if foaming washes leave it tight. Combination skin can use both: the oily skin cleanser at night, the gentle one in the morning.
How can you tell if your Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser is original?
- The cleanser should be a smooth gel that foams easily, with little or no smell. A thin, watery liquid or a strong perfume is a warning sign.
- Printing on the bottle should be sharp and the ingredient list easy to read; blurred text, spelling mistakes or a loose, unsealed cap suggest a copy.
- A price far below other trusted sellers usually means old stock or a fake.
- Check the batch code printed on the box and the bottle: the two must match, and the code should look printed, not stuck on. Every unit we sell is batch-code checked on arrival in Seoul, and we verify any code for free — see how to check if Korean skincare is original.

Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser: frequently asked questions
Is the Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser at Korean Skincare Pakistan original?
Yes. Korean Skincare Pakistan is an authorised seller of Cetaphil in Pakistan. Every bottle is batch-code checked when it arrives at our Seoul warehouse and is shipped to you from there. If a product is ever not original, an old batch or near expiry, you can return it free within 7 days.
Can I use Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser every day?
Yes. It is made for daily use, morning and evening. Most oily skin does well washing twice a day; washing more often can leave skin tight and uncomfortable. If your skin starts to feel dry or tight, use it once a day at night, and in the morning rinse with water or use a gentle, low-foam cleanser instead.
Is Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser good for acne-prone skin?
It is a sensible daily wash for acne-prone skin, because it removes excess oil and sweat without scrubbing particles. It has no exfoliating acid, so it will not unclog pores on its own. For blackheads and breakouts, pair it with a salicylic acid or niacinamide serum, use a light moisturiser and sunscreen, and patch-test any new active first.
Which cleanser is best for oily and acne-prone skin?
Look for a gentle foaming or gel cleanser that leaves skin clean but not squeaky. Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser suits oily skin that wants a simple wash. If you also want help with clogged pores, choose a salicylic acid cleanser such as COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser or CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser. Whatever you choose, follow it with a light moisturiser.
Does Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser remove sunscreen and makeup?
It removes light sunscreen and light makeup in one wash. Water-resistant sunscreen, long-wear foundation and eye makeup come off better with a double cleanse: massage in a cleansing oil or balm first, rinse, then wash with the Oily Skin Cleanser. This keeps pores clear without any need to scrub or wash twice with foam.
Which type of sunscreen is best for oily skin?
Oily skin usually prefers a light gel, fluid or watery-cream sunscreen with a matte or natural finish, rated SPF 50 and PA++++. Apply it after a light moisturiser, or on its own if your skin is very oily, and reapply when you are outdoors for long. You can compare lightweight options in our sunscreen collection.
