cetaphil knows best
who would of thought that we would use a lotion as a facial wash , well it works wonders , the point that there are no harsh chemicals stripping all the goodness of our face but still cleansing it makes cetaphil lotion the ideal product to use in our daily routine .

How do you use it as a facial wash ?

It works well...
This makes your skin soft and dewy. It even adds shine. But it is greasy and makes you sweat. If you have oily skin or combination i wouldn't recommend. But it does work well with sunburns, sensitivity and flaky skin, which is one of the main reasons i bought it. I personally try to only use it at night.

disappointed me.
I had great expectation of this product because of my pleasant experience with Cetaphil cleanser. But, this moisturizer disappointed me. It is nothing more than an over-the-counter greasy moisturizer. I didn't even dare to try putting it on my face. I am now using it as a hand cream. It was like applying oil to my hands. Although the lotion will eventually be absorbed, it doesn't bind water well. I would say that even Vasline is better than this one.

Pros:

Moisturizing
Thick
Gentle / soothing
Unscented

Cons:

Started to break out after a month
Became too thick/oily
Not good for oily/acne prone skin

I was originally using the acne.org moisturizer and switched to Cetaphil about a month ago. At first, the switch was amazing --- totally rejuvenating and hydrating. I used it for my face and neck (twice a day). My skin was looking near flawless with nearly no blemishes. However, a few days ago, I started noticing whiteheads on my chin and below my nose (the spot that gets a lot of natural oil buildup.) I decided to shrug it off and continue using but I've come to the conclusion that it is not doing the same job as earlier. Now, my skin feels way too oily and greasy when I apply this moisturizer; I can just feel my pores wanting to break out and I have a couple new pimples on my chin. Today, I decided to go out and buy two new moisturizers: CeraVe and Clean & Clear Oil Free. I tried both out today (one on each cheek) and they are completely different from Cetaphil (in that they are very light and thin opposed to thick and greasy.) I'm not sure which I will go with but more than likely it'll be CeraVe being that Clean and Clear gave me a burning sensation at first application.

Pros:

Unscented
Minimizes flaking
Very moisturizing and soothing
Absorbs well

Cons:

A little pricey (But SO worth it and last a good long time)

This is definitely my go-to moisturizer. I use the acne.org regimen and this is the moisturizer that I use all over my body. It's thick and moisturizing enough for all of my dry spots (elbows, etc.) but gentle enough for my face and acne prone areas (back and chest). For my face, I mix 1 pump Cetaphil Lotion with 1 pump acne.org moisturizer. That way, I get the soothing effects of the licochalcone in the acne.org moisturizer, but with the added thickness of the Cetaphil, which really helps control flaking and leaves a nice soft feel.

Pros:

Its unscented, which is better than a horrible scent, and its somewhat cheap for the amount of lotion you get.

Cons:

Ick, the first time I used it, I felt like I was smearing butter all over my face. It worsened my acne, which is NOT ok....

Not worth it for your face, I researched a bunch of lotions before I went out and bought this, looked at each individual ingredient for it's comedome rating and it seemed so great... find something else. I'm back to researching, since the lotion I use is discontinued and almost out.

Pros:

Affordable. You get a lot for what you spend. You can use it on your body so once you discover that it sucks for your face, you won't be angry about wasting your money.

Cons:

It didn't absorb, made my face very greasy even after I washed my face in the morning and used my day lotion (I only used the Cetaphil at night).

I was just looking for something to use while my Dan's moisturizer was being shipped-- something light and non-irritating. This was way too greasy and my face never felt clean after I used it. DAN'S all the way!!!

Pros:

Even though it says fragrance free it has a light pleasant smell to it.

Cons:

It is a bit greasy.

It does its job and moisturizes the face nicely. I used Dan's moisturizer and this one works better in my opinion.
