Pros:did it's job and helped keep my face moisturized and protected from the sun

Pros:Moisturizes the face completely all day long.
Cons:This stuff burns your face and makes all existing marks/pimples more red.
Bottom Line:I have used this stuff in the past, and never really liked it. I figured to give it another try but I'm still not impressed. I would recommend seeking an alternative that is less irritating, and not quite as thick.
Recommended:No

Pros:None
Cons:Very irritating on my skin. Worsened the irritation from the BP I was using. Red, flaky, skin and a burning feeling every time I put it on. Switched to a different moisturizer and noticed an immediate improvement.
Bottom Line:Be careful and test it first on a small area. Maybe it was the SPF in it or something.
Recommended:No

Cons:greasy, causes breakouts!
Bottom Line:My skin started getting really dry and I took a day off from Dan's BP, slathered on the Cetaphil and had 3 huge pimples the next day. I only use this stuff on my nose (where I'm not prone to breaking out!) if I know I'm going to be out in the sun for a long time. I've stopped using moisturizer and just use aloe now.

Pros:Spf protection, light, no odor
Cons:pricey
Bottom Line:Cetaphil products seem to cost a bit more than most of its competitors, however they live up to their advertising. It glides on smooth & being that it's light weight, it absorbs evenly into my skin. It doesn't have a greasy feeling & my skin feels soft.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Twyla has used this item for a few months.

Pros:Not too greasy.
Cons:Turns my face red, burns, itches, and dries it out terribly(yeah, i can't explain it either).
Bottom Line:Normally i use the Cetaphil cream and it's absolutely amazing, but i ran out and couldn't find any so i grabbed some of this for the time being figuring it should be similar. Wrong. This stuff absolutely destroys my skin. I use only a moisturizer every day and nothing else has changed. I even gave it a second chance just to make sure it was the moisturizer and sure enough, within two days of using it once a day my face was bright red and burning. Seems a few other people have had similar reactions, but many more have had success. Just be careful if you have sensitive skin and start with a small test area.
Recommended:No

Pros:I love this product! It's feels light and very hydrating! I've got really dry sensitive skin, and I feel instant relief from dry tight skin after applying this to my face. It keeps my face hydrated for the rest of the day unlike others I've tried!
Cons:I feel like there is none.
My skin does not flake with this or become dry. This also does not sting my sensitive face. I love it!
Bottom Line:As I've said, this product is great on dry sensitive skin. I've just recently started breaking out and decided to use cetaphil products (referred to me by coworkers). It turns out that the moisturizers and cleansers work great for me. I don't know why I haven't tried them out earlier. As for my acne, I am starting to see some gradual improvements already! My face is less red and the bumps are fading. I'm still trying to find a way to completely get rid of the acne though, so I'm gonna try out the benzoyl peroxide!
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Emma has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:Fragrance-free, moisturizes well, not too greasy, easy to find in stores
Cons:A bit expensive compared to other moisturizers
Bottom Line:I have very dry skin due to the dry air in the wintertime and Accutane use many years ago. I had never actually used a moisturizer until a couple months ago when I found this site. I found the regular Cetaphil too heavy and greasy for usage during the day, so I gave this a shot. It is a lighter formula, definitely better for daily usage. It is a bit pricey, but it seems like it should last a long time. I don't have too much acne, only a bit of blotchy skin, and this didn't aggravate it at all.

Pros:Good moisturizer. Soothing. Helps with the flakiness caused by the BP. I like that it is SPF15. You get a good amount of it for the price.
Cons:I don't like that it clumps with the "one the spot" bp. It may take a bit of practice to get the two to work together.
Bottom Line:It did not make me overly oily (I have oily skin). It sooths my dry spots and isn't smelly. It is light weight and I like that it does not clog my pores.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Louisa has used this item for about a week.
