Very moisturising
This moisturiser is very thick and yes it will take some time to get used to. I would recommend this to everyone to try since there isn't any ingredients that are unhealthy for your skin. It is a very simple moisturiser and is especially good when you have a very dry skin.

Fantastic if applied correctly
Compared to the Regimen's moisturizer, this one provided better results. That being said, the Cetaphil cream will take some time getting used to. Because the product is extremely thick, you will have to carefully apply in small dosages around the face, perhaps even using a paper towel to clean any residue. Once everything has been applied properly, you will most likely not have to worry about dryness or flakes. In fact, I never feel the need to apply more than once a day. If you are one who is looking to completely eradicate flakes, give this product a try.

Worst than poison
Last week my skin started to get irritated, red, itchy, and I could not figure out what is cause it, I used this moisturizing cream for 4 months, but a week ago it turned evil on me. I suffered a lot of pain until I figured out it was Cetaphil, my skin was falling apart. I'm never buying anything from Cetahil again.

For Body, not the face

Pros:

fragrance free
non comedeogenic

Cons:

doesn't glide
makes face shiny

This cream is creamy like yogurt. When rubbing on body skin, it doesn't spread smoothly as it seems to disappear really fast. Lotions ALWAYS feel much better when applied to the skin as it can glide on the surface and can be spread to different areas of the body. This product requires a "scoop" of the hand which is a waste of product in my opinion, in order to have adequate lubrication to glide over the skin. When applied on the face it is SHINY and make your face appear oily. I can't say it has given me breakouts, but I am in search of something else for the FACE.

GREATEST THING

Pros:

Moisturizes
Doesn't Smell
Doesn't Break Me Out

Cons:

None

This stuff is the bomb. I live in a really dry place and I literally bathe my skin in this morning and night. It helps keep my skin moist and never breaks me out. Also it doesn't smell bad and the tub lasts like a million years. All in all, everyone and their mother should use this product.

Gets rid of flakes

Pros:

Gets rid of flakes
Non-comedogenic
Cheap

Cons:

Can make face greasy

After I had been on the regimen for several months, my face was still uncontrollably flakey. It was making me miserable. This got rid of the flakes! It's an extremely intense moisturizer, but is still non-comedogenic. At first I used it morning and night, then reduced it to just night because it made my face too oily during the day. At night, I mix a dime-sized amount of this with a very small amount of AHA from acne.org. It works wonders.

best moisturizer

Pros:

great for sensitive/acne prone skin
very hydrating
cheap price for great moisturizer

Cons:

none! :)

I have very sensitive skin therefore making it sort of acne prone. Right now I'm also currently pregnant so the hormones make me a little extra acne prone. My face has never looked better than when I use witch hazel as a toner and then follow it up with this moisturizer. No more break outs and leaves my skin super soft..

Would've given it a 3.5 star rating. It's not the best but it gets the job done.

Pros:

Keeps my face really moisturized, doesn't dry out.
Controlled my flaking to a great degree.
Doesn't smell bad.

Cons:

Gets my face greasy after a few hours of application
Consistency makes it hard to smear around.

Since I'm using the benzoyl peroxide, I usually get dried out and flake. I've been using Celeteque moisturizer for a couple of months now but it doesn't moisturize as good as the Cetaphil moisturizing cream. I've been using it for 2 weeks and it really made a great difference on controlling my flakes and keeping my skin moisturized, now here are some things that I don't like about it. First, it's really hard to smear around my face, I don't know why but you're going to take more getting your face prepped with this. Second, it makes my face greasy. The consistency is really thick. Overall it's pretty good, not great but good enough.

Flakes Be Gone!

Pros:

Extremely Moisturizing
Non Irritating
A Little Bit Goes a Long Way

Cons:

Greasy
Difficult To Rub In

I bought this moisturizer back in December of 2012. After reading some reviews, I decided that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try; at this point, I would do ANYTHING to irradicate my flaky, dry skin for good. Because I was on the acne.org regimen, the amount of Benzoyl Peroxide I was using on my skin was really taking a tole on the well-being of my skin. let me just say, this is by far the most moisturizing moisturizer I have ever tried. It got rid of my flaking almost completely. However, the reason that this product gets four out of five stars from me is the fact that it's very thick and greasy. It's not good for the day time because it leaves residue on the skin, so it never completely absorbs. This is a great nighttime moisturizer, and I use it as such.

Updated Review- New method of Application
This is an update on my last review. After about 5 months of usage, I noticed that this moisturizer did ball up a lot and when I perspired it turned white in some areas of the face. However, I found a new method for applying it so that it never did any of these things. Also, with it I had not just some but ZERO flakiness for hours and hours (This was when I actually got flaky from the BP, though. I don't anymore... I guess eventually the skin gets truly used to the BP). Anyways, the method is to put on a pretty liberal amount of it on the face to the point where you can see the whiteness of the cream in places. Then, I would usually follow up by waiting 1-2 minutes (you should still see some white afterwards) for it to soak in. Finally, I would take a paper towel (one that isn't too abrasive) and gently wipe the excess cream off my face. Make sure to wipe it off good so that it doesn't ball up. That's how I ended up using it and it worked really well for me; the only con being that it can be a little greasy. Also, this cream is a wonderful all-over body cream and it keeps my driest areas (my elbows) super soft. If you get it and put it on this way, I really hope it works for you as well ;)
