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...

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.

I haven't seen my pimples begone after I use this. I've got a lot of pimples on my forehead, and I use this lotion on my arms, legs - sometimes my face. It just leaves my skin looking shinier. This isn't really great for oily skin - but it's great for sensitive skin... It hydrates the skin well.

I like this stuff but I would recommend using an oil free, non comedogenic lotion like Walgreens oil-free moisturizing facial lotion for sensitive skin if you need something gently and oil-free

i have moderate severity of acne, i used it for a few days until my skin started to itch LIKE MAAAAAD during the night, i applied to my ear and neck and chest and it gave me rashes. i stopped applying it then. make sure you use it only on your face, dont get it on your lips or it will dry up, then you have to apply a different mosturizer

Although it is supposed to be used on your body, I use it on my face and have not noticed any breakouts out of the ordinary. i put quite a bit of this product on my face before applying my makeup and it doesn't feel heavy, it actually creates a great banner between my skin and makeup and prevents it from getting cakey. I recommend it to anyone who lives in cold climates ( such as me, Canada ) and wants to protect their skin from harsh winds and temperatures without using comedogenic products like petroleum jelly.

I have been using this product for a month now. I have acne prone skin. I have never used a moisturiser for the fear of breaking out! Since I started using this I hardly broke out! But thats about the only thing I like out about the product. Otherwise, I do not seem to find any other benefits from this lotion. My skin always looks greasy when I apply it. It does not have SPF so you need to use another sunscreen to avoid the sun which is another daunting task since you need to find the right one that will again not break you out i.e if you have sensitive, acne prone skin like me. Also this lotion has not really improved my skin texture or complexion. I would still give it a 3 star for the fact that it atleast does not break me out!!

This is a great moisturizer if you have extremely dry skin, particularly from BP or something similar. I've been trying to use this with the regimen for the past few days, and it's fine at night, but during the day, it's far too heavy and thick and leaves my face very greasy feeling. It also takes a very long time to absorb.

I used this moisturizer for about two years, back when I first tried the Regimen (2010-2012). It did its job, and kept me almost completely flake-free, even with 2x-daily Benzoyl Peroxide application. Unfortunately, the moisturizer never really absorbed too well. There was always a shiny film on my face. In addition, my skin would obtain a reddish glow whenever I applied this moisturizer over BP. Basically, my skin was moisturized and more or less acne-free, but it was also shiny and red. Looking back, I'm surprised I stuck to the same regimen for as long as I did.

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.
