Cetaphil Moisturising Cream

Only temporary – This was recommended to put on my face before and after another cream I’m using. It’s supposed to be gentle on the skin. I’ve only been using it for a month but find it’s greasy, doesn’t absorb or it takes ages to absorb. But it’s not too bad. It doesn’t have a perfume smell which is great. And I’m inclined to put moisturiser around the outside… Read more

of my mouth which can leave a terrible taste if drinking something and it connects with the cream. This moisturiser doesn’t have a taste either. Using Cetaphil is only temporary , I will eventually go back to the old moisturiser that I’ve used for decades.

I hate the new version – I used the tube version of this cream for decades on my face. They recently changed the formula and the new version gives me breakouts. I am so disappointed! They claim the new version is non comedogenic but that's a lie. I'm currently looking for a new facial moisturiser or a dupe version of the old Cetaphil formula.

Awful – Used on my face after experiencing dry skin, big mistake! I’m now red and burnt 4 days later. I don’t have sensitive skin and have never experienced such a reaction from any other moisturisers that I have used historically. Will stick to natural ingredients from now on. Show details

This is awfullllll – This is a disaster for my skin. 1 application caused red blistered skin which hurt and became itchy then flaky and dry. Has taken 3 weeks to recover. How come recommended for sensitive skin Show details

The other best skin cream on the market - period – I have had to use creams on any skin exposed to the sun for decades due to a medical condition. Cetaphil Skin Lotion is one of the only 2 really good creams to use on the market (I have tried them all - QV is the other). The Cetaphil is best at times when longer absorption times are OK (overnight, or watching TV).

Caused acne and a severe allergic reaction! – My dermatologist recommended I use cetaphil moisturiser whilst treating my acne with a cleanser and medication. It made it worse! It doesn’t sink into the skin well and leaves a wet residue. I trusted the doctor and used it for 12 months regardless and assumed the acne was from the face wash I was using- boy was I wrong! The second I stopped… Read more

using the moisturiser on my face my acne almost immediately cleared up.

Since then I’ve had the moisturiser in my cupboard and decided to use it on my legs since they were feeling dry.

2-3 minutes after applying it to my legs they felt so itchy and as though they were on fire! I ran to the shower to wash it off and was left covered in red welts all over my legs! It’s itchy and painful!

I’m writing this review only an hour after after the incident and the welts have still not gone down.

I’ve been using this on my face for so long and in hindsight it did make my jawline itchy but it never did this!

I’m throwing this in the garbage and will never recommend it to anyone again.

I understand every skin type is unique and this product could work for some but if you have dry/sensitive or acne prone skin....don’t bother!

Stay Away – Contains PHENOXYETHANOL. Cancer causing Ingredient. Enough Said. Dont buy this product. I use Calmurid which is way better and no nasties like this. This ingrediant is also used in many sunscreens and makeup products Show details

Terrible – Cetaphil has changed there ingredients and not for the better. They have stopped using Macadamia oil and replaced it with Avocado oil. The lotion is thinner and does not moisturise my skin. I used the original one for 8 yrs and my skin was always great . Now I am finding it very hard to find another cream to suit my dry rosacea skin. Why have they… Read more

changed something that was wonderful to rubbish. My doctor even gave it to me on prescription as it saved money as I was on medication and antibiotics. Now my skin is bad again and nothing works aswell as the original cetaphil.

Go to cream – I try out a lot of creams but always return back to this one. It's just simple and never disappoints. It's my daily go to moisturising cream all year round Show details

Perfect for combination skin – My skin is kinda combination sometimes acne prone sometimes dry sometimes oily... After moving to the cold climate the only moisturiser I tried and only that I will... cream was rich and creamy so I thought I would get acne out of it but I have not... I would definitely suggest this for combination skin

Change of Lid - Change of Cream – I found the blue lidded cream was brilliant and swore by it, but when trying to find a replacement, I can only find the green lidded cream which is a lot thinner and nowhere near as good. Sadly will have to look elsewhere for a cream as good as the original blue lidded one. I don't believe nothing has changed other than the lids - just need to look at the consistency of the cream.

Feels great on skin – Non greasy light and refreshing cream that is a delight to use Use it for extremely dry skin and just a all over mosteriser Priced reasonable and a cream worth trying to help with dry skin

Best product for dry and senstive skin – This is best cream. i have tried so many expensive product to get rid of dry skin, but this cream resolve my problem and best cream for senstive skin.I am quite happy by using facial moisturiser cream

Galderma suggest nothing has changed – HI Fellow reviewers I agree. The blue lidded Cetaphen cream was far more moisturising and was sadly dissapointed with the green lid. The company suggest that NOTHING has changed in their cream and that the lids are now green for easier identification - green moisturisers - blue cleansers. Hmmmm

Cheap, just as good as name brands – My dermatologist recommended this when I was looking for a moisturiser for my dry skin. It's not as pricey as many of the name-brand competitors but I've had no issues with it. One can only get so passionate about moisturiser but I think it's high enough praise to say that it's cheap, it works and it's readily available in lots of stores.

Very good minus the parabens! – I bought this for my dry sensitive skin as well as for my baby and it works good. Made skin feeling soft and hydrated but it has PARABENS so be careful! Mine came from Canada and I'm not sure if it goes with every product manufactured. I didnt see this until just now. Need to change it asap.

Cetaphil is excellent for very dry skin – A friend of mine told me about the Cetaphil moisturiser and how good it is for your skin. It is especially good for very dry skin. I always put far too much on my skin which makes it a bit greasy. It is better not to use too much that way it will last longer too. The Cetaphil moisturising cream is also not expensive.
