Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Price in Pakistan (Every Size)

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser price in Pakistan ranges from PKR 2,650 for the smallest 118ml bottle up to PKR 8,950 for the largest size BigBasket.pk stocks, with three sizes in between. If you've been comparing the 118ml, 236ml, 237ml and 591ml listings and wondering which one actually gives you the best deal, you're asking the right question — the answer isn't the one most people assume. Here's every size, every price, and the honest per-millilitre math.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Price in Pakistan — Every Size Compared

Cetaphil sells this cleanser across several sizes and two slightly different formulas. Here's the complete lineup on BigBasket.pk.

Prices correct as of July 2026.

Which Size Is Actually the Best Value? A Per-ml Price Breakdown

This is where most people guess wrong, assuming the smallest bottle is always the cheapest way to try it and the biggest is always "buying in bulk to save money" — so let's actually do the maths instead of assuming.

The 118ml bottle works out to roughly PKR 22.46 per ml (PKR 2,650 ÷ 118ml). The 236ml dry/sensitive formula works out to about PKR 20.98 per ml (PKR 4,950 ÷ 236ml) — already a bit cheaper. The 237ml all-skin-types formula is almost identical at PKR 21.09 per ml (PKR 4,999 ÷ 237ml). But the 591ml bottle comes out to just PKR 12.77 per ml (PKR 7,549 ÷ 591ml) — that's over 40% cheaper per millilitre than the smallest 118ml bottle. If you already know you like Cetaphil and use it daily, the 591ml is genuinely the best-value size on the shelf, not just the "bigger and more expensive" option it looks like at first glance.

The 118ml bottle isn't a bad buy — it's simply priced for a different purpose: trying the formula for the first time or having a travel-size bottle, not for long-term cost efficiency. Once you know it works for your skin, stepping up to the 591ml is where the real savings are.

236ml vs 237ml — Same Size, Different Formula

These two sit within 1ml of each other and only PKR 49 apart in price, so the size isn't really the deciding factor between them — the formula is. The 236ml bottle is labelled specifically for dry, sensitive skin. The 237ml bottle is labelled for all skin types, meaning it's the safer pick if you're not sure your skin fits neatly into "dry and sensitive" or if you have normal-to-combination skin. Don't choose between these two based on the extra 1ml or the PKR 49 difference — choose based on which skin-type description matches you.

What Is Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, and Who Is It For?

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is a soap-free, fragrance-free facial cleanser that's been recommended by dermatologists for decades, largely because it does the minimum necessary — removes dirt, oil and makeup — without stripping the skin's natural barrier. It's a low-lather formula, and that's by design, not a flaw: heavy foaming cleansers tend to strip more oil than they need to, which leaves dry and sensitive skin tighter and more irritated afterward.

It suits dry, sensitive, eczema-prone and post-procedure skin especially well, and the "all skin types" 237ml variant extends that to normal, combination and oily skin too, without the heavier actives found in acne-focused cleansers. If your skin is very oily and acne-prone specifically, Cetaphil's own Gentle Clear Clarifying Acne Cream Cleanser (PKR 4,300) is built with that concern in mind rather than the standard Gentle Skin Cleanser.

How to Use It in Your Daily Routine — Karachi, Lahore and Beyond

Use it morning and night as your primary face wash, massaging a small amount into damp skin and rinsing with water — while the original formula was designed to be wiped off without water for very sensitive or eczema-prone skin, most people in Pakistan simply rinse it off like a normal face wash, and that works fine. In Karachi's humidity and hard water, its gentle, low-strip formula is an advantage — over-cleansing with harsher soap-based washes in hot, sweaty weather tends to backfire, triggering more oil production, not less. In Lahore's dry summer heat, the same gentle formula helps avoid the tightness and flaking that stronger cleansers can cause.

Pair it with a proper moisturiser afterward rather than skipping that step — Cetaphil cleanses without adding hydration back, so something like the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion 59ml (PKR 2,250) or the larger Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion 473ml (PKR 6,450) completes the routine properly.

Authentic Cetaphil — How to Avoid Fakes and Grey-Market Stock

Cetaphil is a heavily imported brand in Pakistan, and that means a lot of grey-market and outright counterfeit stock circulates through informal resellers, often with no proper importer sticker, an inconsistent batch code, or a texture that's noticeably thinner or thicker than the genuine formula. Given the price difference between sizes runs into the thousands of rupees, it's especially important to buy this one from a seller you trust rather than the cheapest listing you can find on social media.

BigBasket.pk sources verified Cetaphil stock at fixed, transparent prices, with Cash on Delivery available across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar and Multan — you can inspect the bottle, seal and batch code before you pay a single rupee.

Other Ways to Buy It — Without Committing to a Full Bottle

If you're not ready to commit to even the 118ml bottle, the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths (10-pack) at PKR 800 is a genuinely useful way to trial the formula, or to keep in a gym bag or travel kit for days you can't do a full face-wash routine. It won't replace a full bottle for daily use, but it's a low-commitment way to test whether the Gentle Skin Cleanser formula suits your skin before spending on the 591ml.

Which size of Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is the best value?

The 591ml bottle at PKR 7,549 works out to about PKR 12.77 per ml, over 40% cheaper per millilitre than the 118ml bottle at roughly PKR 22.46 per ml. If you already use Cetaphil daily, the 591ml is the most cost-efficient size.

They're nearly identical in size and only PKR 49 apart in price, but different formulas: the 236ml is labelled for dry, sensitive skin, while the 237ml is labelled for all skin types, including normal, combination and oily skin.

Is Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser good for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

Yes, it's a soap-free, fragrance-free, low-lather cleanser widely recommended for sensitive and eczema-prone skin because it cleans without stripping the skin's natural barrier the way stronger foaming cleansers can.

Should I buy the small 118ml bottle or a bigger size?

If you've never used it before, the 118ml bottle is a sensible way to try the formula first. Once you know it suits your skin, the 591ml offers significantly better value per ml for ongoing daily use.
