Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream Fragrance Free 16 Oz 16 Ounce

Having started a course of Roaccutane about a month ago, I recently found that my usual moisturiser (Simple Kind to Skin Light Hydrating Moisturiser) just wasn't cutting it. My face felt tight and uncomfortable. So I decided to buy this - and what a difference it made. Most moisturisers usually make me break out to some degree, but I haven't noticed any breakout caused by this moisturiser. The texture is quite odd, it's kind of greasy, but not in the same way as a lot of other products. I think a lot of the negative reviews this product gets is due to people putting too much on their skin, which will make their skin look very shiny indeed. But you really only need a thin layer on your skin to reap the benefits of this moisturiser. I apply a thin later for during the day when I'm out, which still gives your skin a bit of a shimmer, but certainly not an oily look. Then at night time I slather it on. I have no doubt that I will continue to use this moisturiser after my course of Roaccutane is finished because after trying countless moisturisers I have finally found one that works well for my skin. I would highly recommend this to anyone with dry/acne prone/sensitive skin or any skin type for that matter. Oh and it also feels great after you've had a shave, very soothing!

TL; DR - if you have any dry skin, this cream is very effective. Very, very effective. Skin Type: Dry (as in non-oily) Skin Condition : Eczema/Contact Dermatitis/ I don't even know any more - I find it becomes particularly bad during cold weather, otherwise it is fine. It will dry, crack and bleed in worse case scenarios. I first used this cream (well it was the same brand) when my eczema was much worse in my youth. After moving to a tropical country my eczema no longer flared up so I kinda forgot about it. But now that I'm back it's starting to pop up again.So I bought this. How I use it: Applied after a warm shower. (How it was recommended by a dermatologist) The Good: This is a massive container, it will last you ages. (I got the 16oz) It moisturises quite fast (20 minutes) The smell if quite close to fragrance free. It smells faintly of sun screen, but after about 45 minutes, you wouldn't be able to sniff it out even if you tried. Light enough that I used it on my face without blocking any pores. BUT my face is naturally dry, so test it on a small part one night first. I hardly need any to cover the required area. (I don't need to scoop up any cream, I just rub my finger moderately firmly and I have enough) It seriously keeps my skin fine for about 24 hours. Even though my eczema is on my hands and receives regular washing. What to consider: It still does take about 20 minutes to absorb into the skin. I do not have eczema on my face, so I can't verify how well it would work there. While this does moisturise the skin it doesn't soothe/heal the already cracked and bleeding skin. I solved this by using "Lucas Remedies Pawpaw Ointment" Lucas Remedies Pawpaw Ointment 75g pot If you are looking for a heavy duty moisturiser, I think this is it.

The product comes in a very generous (almost half a kg) amount which is great for long-term use. The moisturiser tub is easy to open and has ingredients and directions on the back as expected. I've found that this moisturiser absorbs into the skin very well and so applying too much isn't an issue. Something which isn't mentioned much is how this product is great for acne/spot suffers due to the simplistic ingredients (so your face isn't overloaded with hundreds of potential reactants and allergens) and the fact that this product is in fact non-comedogenic (it doesn't block pores like many other moisturisers do). Overall great moisturiser.

excellent product. I used to buy rather expensive Clarins facial moisturiser but reacted to it and was prescribed steroid cream by Doctor . Don't know if they changed the ingredients? As a result of this, I started to use Cetaphil on my face having previously used it as a body cream. I am more than happy with it and will not buy more expensive brands ever again. For holidays it's easy; one moisturiser that does everything extremely well. A small amount goes a long way.

I really love Cetaphil as it is great for all skin types, especially really sensitive. I was not happy with the distributer as my 2 lotions arrived already open - the seal broken. Hard to know if some was taken out or tampered with.

I know people often say they have never posted a review before but sincerely I haven't. Just recently I was at my wits end with my skin always having dry patches on cheeks and forehead mainly, tried lots of products top end and cheap. Did lots of research and this product kept coming up in lots of threads and then I looked on Amozon and mainly positive reviews so I bought the cream (comes in a bigger tub than expected). Sorry spelt Amazon wrong. I have used this for 2 weeks now and it is my saviour honestly. Even after the first couple of applications I could tell it changed my skin, it looks hydrated now ( something I've longed for) I'm in my fifties and my son and daughter have both noticed separately saying blimin heck mom your skin looks different what are you using. My daughter said the changes to my skin take years off me. I'm really pleased I can't tell you enough, For once money well spent and I will always use this now. As I'm writing I'm aware I sound like an advert for Cetapill lol but it's brill, can't believe the difference to my face and so grateful I found this. Also to say I have mild Roseaca and have had no break outs since using this wool wool!!

I really love this cream. I have very acne-prone skin, with an oily tzone but very dry cheeks, and I had to go back to basics to find products which didn't break me out. I have had great success with this one, and I find it leaves my cheeks much softer than Cerave in the tub - which I have used before. It feels very rich, and a little bit greasy (which doesn't bother me overnight). It never tingles, leaves redness, or stings with whichever products I have layered on before. It's highly moisturising and hasn't made me any oilier during the day at all. It is a very large and heavy tub, which will be difficult to travel with. I recommend having a spare, small tub to decant this into if you want to travel with it. Otherwise, I am glad to have so much of the product. Tubs can be less hygienic, but with some sensible precautions, that hasn't been an issue for me. Definitely recommend!

The cream has instruction in french and was not clear where it was manufactured and weather its is genuine product
