Cetaphil : Moisturizing Lotion

My dermatologist told me to buy this to combat the dryness and peeling of a benzoyl peroxide wash. My skin starts to flake again at last period of school but other than that it works really good.

i found that the lotion should be used sparingly and that it absorbed easier after exfoliation or the application a layer of facial toner, preferably one that is non-alcohol based a nickel or dime size spot of lotion seemed to be more than enough to cover the entire face

If you are out of something better and have this on hand then go ahead and use it. I use it as an absolute last resort when I run out of everything else and I do not really like to use it, but it sort of works when I don't have anything else. It is thick and sticky and it just sits on skin. I love to use it as a body lotion, but for a facial moisturizer it is not that good.

its a good product and it does not block your pores!! a few people say its greasy but i think its greasy when too muhc is applied. if the right amount is applied it should absorb easlily, leaving ur skin with very little or no greasy residue!!!

This stuff is literally the only thing that has ever noticeably improved my flakes and dryness. Now that Spring is coming, it shouldn't be as much of an issue but during the colder, dryer months my skin is always extremely dry and tight. I've tried everything and this is the only thing that reduces flakes by about 75-85%. I sometimes add 1 or 2 drops of jojoba oil at night for flake control and although I still get some, it takes care of it enough where it's barely noticeable unless an inch or 2 away. The only downside is that it hasn't really helped with skin tone or redness and I believe it can potentially clog pores for some people because it's fairly emollient. I wouldn't really recommend this stuff over the summer since it's pretty strong and could leave shine, unless BP is still drying you out in the summer. As for winter/fall, I haven't found anything better and I slowly feel my skin's barrier returning to a normalized, moisturized and healthy state.

This is a great simple moisturizer for all skin types that gets the job done and won't cause blemishes.

Great product. Wouldn't use anything else!

I was looking for a very emollient moisturizer to combat the bothersome dryness I was experiencing from the regimen during winter. I do not have oily skin like others who disliked the product so I gave it a try. (I have sensitive combo skin that is slightly oily in the T-zone.) About a week of use, I noticed a few more pimples than I usually have with this moisturizer as the only change to my routine. I did look up the ingredients and the combination of Cetearyl Alcohol and Ceteareth 20 has a 4 out of 5 comedogenic value according to [link removed] So though I loved how well it moisturized, I had to discontinue it.

I use this morning and night for use with my acne medicines. Because it looks greasy, what I do is put it on and then wipe the excess with a facial tissue. Works great to get rid of greasy look.

I am gonna look for something else. This is too greasy to deal with.
