Beard Transplant: Can I use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser around face near beard (not on it) and eventually on it when shaved?

October 15, 2015
Asked By:R7 in Pennsylvania, PA

I already asked about acne meds to which all of you and my doctor told me I can't around my face. But what about cetaphil gentle skin cleanser? (w/ pic) Will this specific cetaphil ruin my beard growth? If I can, what about applying it to the recipient area right after shaving (when I'm allowed to)? I just like to know other doctors thoughts. PS - I've been asking you doctors many questions to which you all have been really kind and helpful. Thank you!! and I promise the questions will soon end!

Answer: You don' t need special cleaners after a beard hair transplant. If you do, something is wrong.
