Cetaphil : Moisturizing Lotion

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

I bought this after Dan's new moisturizer made my face dry out. This product moisturizes well, but I don't love the texture. I prefer Dan's original moisturizer to this, but for now I will probably continue with this product.

I had no intention of changing moisturiser whatsoever. That was, until the acne.org moisturiser changed. I needed skin hydration badly, and went for Cetaphil Lotion because it had largely positive reviews, and was available here in the UK (although I could only find it online). Firstly, I have found it to be highly moisturising, and able to deal with BP flakiness about as well as the old acne.org formula, which I was satisfied with. Because my skin was so dry, I plastered this stuff on at first, even adding some jojoba oil at night. Whilst it dealt with flakes more quickly, it left me very shiny, and for about half an hour, stinging in my driest areas. Now I use a thin finger's length, and I suspect this may still be a bit too much. So be careful. It still might be too shiny for some people, but I'd rather that than dry and irritated skin. Another point to make is that it is thick. Much thicker than I'm used to with the acne.org moisturiser (old and new). It is therefore, more of a challenge to spread it around evenly whilst maintaining the gentleness that is so crucial to the regimen. I find applying it in exactly the same way as the acne.org BP helps, as they have a similar consistency. All in all, I am satisfied and relieved to be back to where I was before I received my first and only bottle of the new acne.org moisturiser. I still hope there's a way for the old one to return though - I feel it was about as affective as Cetaphil, but lighter and less greasy in larger amounts. It's a shame.

This stuff works, but is kinda thick. A few drops of jojoba oil helps to improve the consistency. Since it doesn't have SPF, I usually just use it at night.

I had incredibly dry and flaky skin from BP, i tried many Moisturizers but none of them seemed to get rid of the flakes. I was getting so self-conscious about them. I saw this in a shop and tried the tester. My flakey skin almost completely went away immediately. After a couple of days I was flake free. The skin does get oily but I think thats much better than flakey skin. Basically, if you need a very strong moisturizer and don't mind getting a bit oily, then use this, it is great.

This is a great moistruizer to use overall. A lot of other moisturizes I used in the past had a girly fragrance to it, while this does not. The only thing about it is it takes a long time to soak into your skin. It also makes your skin look shiney. Other than that, it's well worth it.

I do have oily skin, not sure how much it cost roughly 20$ AUSD? Got it at Terry White Chemist. It feels great on skin, leaves a nice dewy touch. Better for night than the day. It leaves your skin feeling moist for a longer period than most moisturisers. And doesn't feel very oily, more dewy.

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

I only wear it at night after i wash my face because it makes your face look greasy, but it works. i have flakey dry but oily skin and it is doin work! my flakes are gone and my face feels smooth! i have only been using it for 3 days

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.
