I bought the cetaphil lotion recommended for the regemin. For some reason my face was a bit irritated that morning when I woke up, and the skin around my nose & mouth were peeling. I used the Cetaphil for the first time later in the day and now my face is as red as a tomato. I look like I'm sunburned! I've been on the regimen for about 4 weeks now, so It can't be that.
Could I be allergic to this lotion? Or did it just irritate the hell out the new skin under my peeling skin?
Thanks 
That is really strange!? Cetaphil is one of the gentlest lotions you can buy! I don't think you would have an allergic reaction to it because all of the ingredients are used in MANY MANY products, very common. Try going off it for about a week and use it again and see what happens. Maybe your face was just going through a phaze, who knows?!
Are you talking their moisturiser of cleanser? I get allergic contact dermatitis from many products - but their cleanser is ok with me. If it is a moisturiser it should be soothing and if it is cetaphil very basic in its ingredients....any allergy will probably stem from any fragrance or sunscreen - they're almost always the culprits!
A person can be allergic to just about anything--including the ingredients in Cetaphil. I should know. I had just gotten a tattoo and started covering it with Eucerin while it healed. One day I decided to switch to Cetaphil. Within half an hour of putting Cetaphil on for the first time, my skin became red, swollen, and painful. I washed the Cetaphil off, put Eucerin back on, and it subsided.
I had an allergic reaction to Ceptaphil lotion that was misdiagnosed as a Staph infection by my doctor. I had huge red bumps all over my face, but I decided to try the Cetaphil again just to make sure it was what had caused it. My face erupted back into red bumps. It's a shame too.
