Cetaphil : Moisturizing Lotion

use it only where you have severe flakes... b/c when i use it on my whole face... i look like a greaseball...

Okay, like many people, I have been on the prowl for a great moisturizer forever (especially now in the winter)! Then this little beauty fell in my hands. It is great. What can I say? It moisturizes so well it's not even funny. Oh, and to all you reviewers who complain about the greasy/shiny look, it's supposed to be that way for a reason!!!! Shiny=thick and thick=long lasting. In order for it to be long lasting, it has to take a while to absorb!!! Which actually isn't all that long (about 10-20 min.) Plus, I love the look of a nice, shiny face for some reason. I think it makes me look more prepared and vibrantly personable. People, it is damn near impossible to have a moisturizer be effective and non-greasy/thick. It has those qualities for a good reason. As far as causing breakouts, I did just break out this week. HOWEVER. I think its because I've missed several night time DK regimen applications (sorry Dan I'm working on it). Good luck, guys and please get this!!!! You won't regret it!!!

I have been searching for a substitute moisturiser for when I'm using the acne.org regimen and I tried this. After first apply my skin was sooooo much more hydrated and it felt great. But only after 2 days of using it my skin broke out TERRIBLY. 7 new pimples in. my face, and they are not small....Pls. help if anyone has a good substitute that doesn't cause pimples.

So you're thinking about using this product but want a little guidance? That's what I was like a few weeks ago. I have been using Dan's products and regimen [VERY strictly] for 7 months now. When he came out with the new moisturizer, I didn't like it one bit. But I thought maybe I'll learn to like it, so I used it for a while. Nope. I still didn't like it. So I started searching for better options. I liked the reviews about this moisturizer, so I gave it a go. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I must say I like it a lot more than Dan's moistuizer. It doesn't feel as greasy. And Cetaphil did not cause any breakouts of any kind. As a side note, my skin was 100% acne free when I started using Cetaphil, and it's still 100% clear. Hope this helps anyone in need. Good luck to you.

Great moisturizer especially in the winter time!! my skin is SOOO soft now!

It's a great product if you have dry skin and need to moisturize, but it will make you look like a greasy homeless person with no form of a shower available.

I use Cetaphil when I come out of the shower on my stretch marks and face. I really does work. I am very glad that I use this product. I recently learned that if you put a little on, it won't leave your skin feeling greasy. It's best for people with light acne and sensitive or flaky (or severly dry) skin

Ok, so I have only used this for a little over a week, but I'm mixed so far. It's very thick and takes a while to fully absorb, but it did a much better job of getting rid of flakes than Dan's moisturizer (the new one, at least). It also made my chin very irritated, red, and a bit scaly at times. I'm not sure if my skin is going to "adjust" to it over time but I'm not going to find out. My chin looks like a lobster, so I'm going to switch to another lotion. Not everyone has experienced this redness, so don't assume it will happen to you unless you try it. If it weren't for te redness, the rest would be fine and I would probably give it a 4/4.5.

Best moisture advice ever: At night, use a VERY generous amount of this and add 5-10 drops of jojoba oil. Watch miracles occur. My skin was dry, peeling, flaking, red, tight, and basically a mess. I started using this at night instead of Dan's new moisturizer and it finally brought much needed hydration to my face. I still use Dan's moisturizer in the morning because it's less shiny and greasy.

For me, this took care or the dryness and flakiness caused by the regimen much better than the Acne.org moisturizer and jojoba oil. I would recommend this for anyone that's still struggling with flakey skin.
