Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion is now < useless – I’ve used Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion for many years on my very dry skin with good results. It didn’t cause any side effects like many other “moisturisers” do. The last 500g bottle I bought was LOT 332587 exp 06/23. This version works well. It is the only cream I found that I could use from head to toe without any adverse results. I tried to buy… Read more

another bottle of the same but couldn’t get it. I bought the Cetaphil Intensive Moisturising Cream instead with “hydrating glycerin, Vit B3 & pro-vitamin B5”. This is supposedly for Dry to Very Dry Skin. It had the same effect as if I’d rubbed turps into my skin. The skin became dry and cracked. Everything Cetaphil labelled is “dermatologist tested and dermatologist recommended”. It would seem that the “dermatologist” still has a lot to learn about skin because what they’ve dreamed up for dry and very dry skin doesn’t help the problem at all. If Galderma wants to try and recover its reputation it should go back to a basic formula that actually works instead of marketing something with a lot of flowery words that mean nothing. The Cetaphil Intensive Moisturising Cream is a very disappointing product to say the least.

Awful!! DO NOT BUY! No longer sensitive skin friendly! – Long time cetaphil household.. until now! New and improved formula is absolutely awful and should come with a warning that it is no longer safe for sensitive skin. My daughter unfortunately broke out in massive all over body hives that landed her in the ER after using the cleanser and daily moisturizer lotion. 3 days and $800+ later she is still… Read more

swollen and on steroid meds. After reading all these negative reviews I'm surprised there isn't a class action suit against the company by now. Wow!

Woeful new formula!! Do not use!! – Horrific product after change of formulation. New and "improved" formula is inferior to the original product in every conceivable way. It stinks to high heaven. I cannot get the foul smell out of my nostrils. I've been smelling it for days after using it jusy once. The "new and improved" woke and environmentally sustainable formula burns the face.… Read more

Literally the opposite to what moisturizer is supposed to do. People with dermatitis and eczema are going to need serious therapies after using this. Old formula was Heaven, new formula is hell. DO NOT PURCHASE.

Decent moisturiser – This is a good moisturiser. Mine is fragrance free. I like that it is a big 1.25L size too, convenient, good for the environment and economical. If you have very, very dry skin you will probably need something stronger. Show details

Good moisturiser… Horrible smell – Great as a cheap option for a moisturiser that doesn’t seem to irritate my sensitive skin too much. However, the smell is really bad and leaves a greasy feel on the skin. Show details

Ruined a great product – I have atopic eczema and have used Cetaphil (moisturizing lotion) for a very long time, with wonderful effect... THEY CHANGED THE INGREDIENTS! NOW, the product stings my skin and has given me a rash. ALSO, the fumes from the lotion stung/burnt my eyes. I have had to apply cortisone ointment to sooth my reactions. Why change an already great product? My guess is money... Disappointed. Show details

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion- Horrible "New" and definitely NOT "Improved" - Burns face!! – I used the "new and improved" Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion and broke out in a horrible rash! Burned like crazy for two weeks!! Before this change, I used this lotion for about 20 years. I looked at the ingredient list and they added Niacinamide! Seriously?!? This ingredient is a known skin irritant and causes rashes and reactions to a lot of… Read more

people. Definitely not for sensitive skin. I am shocked that they added this sensitizing ingredient. So sad because the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion was my go-to for all these years :(

Dream cream – I have a skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis and after using this cream daily, I haven’t had a flare since. My face feels so good for the whole day. So good I purchased the 1kg bottle. Worth it!  Show details

Causes awful breakouts. Avoid at all costs!!!! – This product is horrific and I wish I hadn’t bought such a big bottle. Gave it a go as I thought I’d pair my Cetaphil face cleanser with the cetaphil moisturiser. TERRIBLE MISTAKE. This product has ruined my face and caused me to break out horribly. My face is covered in big, deep and blind pimples and the worst part is the scarring. I would give a zero star rating if I could. Show details

Cetaphill – Definitely it’s changed the ingredients as I’ve used cetaphill blue lid for many years and it was great and now green lid has different ingredients and it doesn’t moisturise my skin it’s thin and sits on top and feels dry and also made my face broke out so I won’t be using it either anymore.They did the same thing when they changed package on their sun screen and I had to stop using it too Show details

Cetaphil lotion is not that good anymore – I've used Cetaphil lotion and cream for years and always was satisfied with the products. In fact they were some of the best fragrance free gentle products on the market for dry sensitive skin. Recently I've bought a new bottle of lotion with green lid with avocado oil in it. The consistency of the product is very water like thin. It is not very… Read more

pleasant to use anymore. It feels like you are smearing your face with water and it doesn't absorb into your skin like old formular did. You need to let it sit on you face a while before it absorbs. I still find it moisturising though just not very pleasant to use. It is still fragrance free. It broke me out after couple of uses. Wish they notified their customers about the change. Hate it when the trusted companies change their ingredients and destroy the products that worked so well due to them saving money.

Not as good as it was – I have been using Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion for many years on my body and face. It was the one brand I thought I could count on. But when the packaging changed, so did the lotion. It is really thin and runny now and not very moisturising. Big disappointment but I will give them the benefit of the doubt and try the cream instead. Fingers crossed that hasn’t changed too. I will keep you posted.

It's ok but needs to applied frequently – I first used the cetaphil baby lotion on my son when he was a newborn & it was fantastic but the consistency of the lotion is constantly changing - sometimes it's quite thick others it's extremely runny. Overall I think it's way over priced for it's quality & rather buy aveeno baby lotion which is amazing & cost the same amount of money but I don't need to apply it every half n hour...

Use it everyday! – I started using this product 4 months ago when I moved to an area with a dry climate and am hooked! I use it every day, applying it over my whole body (excluding my face) and it keeps my skin so soft! It's not greasy and rubs in well and I love that it has no scent. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for an everyday mousturiser as it works a treat and is inexpensive.

Changed lid changed product – It's thinner and nowhere near as good as the old blue lid lotion. After years of use, I will now have to find another brand that hopefully won't try to rip me off.

Something has changed... Miss my old blue lid cetaphil. I hate the green lid cetaphil – I have been using this Cetaphil moisturizer for years, but I have recently noticed that my skin has been feeling very dry to the point where it cracks and stings. I kept wondering what the deal was and finally came to this website to see what was going on. Well, there were several recent reviews of the Cetaphil cream (another product) which said… Read more

that there seamed to be a change when Cetaphil switched to the green lids. Bingo! The lid change was exactly when my skin started becoming uncomfortably dry. Please fix whatever has gone wrong--I miss my old Cetaphil!

Relieves dryness – The lotion is effective in relieving dryness especially in my elbows toes. It is easy to apply and has a very mild to no scent at all. The problems though is that it tends to get too sticky when I apply to much and I don't like it to be sticky and greasy at the same time so I have to be deliberate in the application to ensure that only enough is being placed on my skin especially in sweaty areas.

a miracle worker – This lotion is magnificent, a month after I started using it, my skin on the back of my thighs drastically changed. I wish I could submit pictures. My skin was so dry and after I started using cetaphil I noticed a significant difference. I took pictures because I wanted to see what was going on back behind me. My skin was dry and crunchy. Now it is so smooth!!

Makeup Kit must have – i recommend this product if your a beginner and just starting to build your makeup kit. its sensitive and its great match for a lot of skin types. best way to avoid irritation for your clients while learning more about other products you could use and matching skin types to those products for the future.

About average – I bought this cetaphil moisturiser cream from the chemist next door to the wollongong medical centre about a couple of years ago and found it to be reasonable though not as good as I hoped though it's way better than the cheaper creams with a whole lot of extra ingredients
