This stuff is seriously AMAZING. I have acne prone skin and it is so so so dry and flaky, so it's terrible to try and put makeup on etc, no moisturiser has worked as well as this, it moisturises ALL day, not just for a few hours and goes back to dry. It's a light feeling moisturiser that gets rid of dry spots immediately without needing much. It's gentle for sensitive skim and not oily feeling at all. It doesn't agitate acne or pimples thankfully. Definitley a holy grail I suggest for anyone with really dry skin it 100% does it's job and lasts forever! Great price too :)

Reviews
I was cleaning out my car and I found this under my back seat - I am pretty sure I didn't buy it either. Anyway I started using it as I have super dry skin and was amazed! Its such a good moisturiser. Normally other moisturisers I have to apply regularly as my skin becomes dry again really fast. However this lasts so much longer and my skin feels so soft. I use it on my whole body, including my face. I put it under my foundation sometimes too :) it is very light and you only need a little bit. Only down fall is it takes a while to spread out and can sometimes appear a bit greasy. Very worth the price.
I have extremly oily and breakout prone skin so moisturisers are hard for me to like and find but this one is great. No scent and very light on the skin. My bottle has lasted me over 9 months using everyday. Leaves my skin soft and feeling great. It is absorbed into your face extremly fast and no oily residue left on ur face. You can use foundation and other makeup straight after as it absorbs so fast. Never breaks me out and I would recommend to anyone with oily skin. Also the pump is super hand and less mess for you overall I love it!
This moisturiser feels heavy and can feel greasy. I have dry skin so need to moisturise atleast twice a day but avoid using this one as I just do not like the feel of it on my skin. Depending on the size of the bottle, the larger ones can get quite expensive. I would not pay for the product as I know there are better ones out there that suit my skin better.
Tips: If you have oily skin, this product can feel greasy and take a fair bit to soak into the skin.
I saw this in Countdown and decided to give it a go, I usually use a cream moisturiser but thought the lotion might be lighter and not so oily. I originally bought the Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion in a tube for my son who has excema, and he found it excellent for moisturising his dry skin. My skin is combination, oily on the forehead and down the middle, I found this lotion to be really hydrating and light, but not too oily. It sinks into my skin very well. The skin around my eyes is sensitive to some products and can get red and itchy sometimes, but this Cetaphil lotion didn't irritate at all. My skin felt soft and hydrated after applying. I sometimes use it on my elbows and knees, in fact it can be used all over! The pump bottle is handy too.
Tips: It's quite often on special at Countdown, so look out for it. Apply sparingly, just a light application is needed.
No so long ago, it seemed like every man and his dog, were raving how good this moisturizer is. So I decided to give it a try, I was happy with my current moisturizer, but the hype was so good! I have a love hate relationship with Cetaphil, it was horrible as a face moisturizer for me, it felt too thick, like it was just sitting on the top of my skin, maybe its my 40's dry skin? I have no idea, but as moisturizer to put on a bit of sun burn etc, I like it! so it gets mixed reaction from me. I'll just keep it away from my face.
Tips: It's worth purchasing, just don't get too excited!
I think i used this moisturising lotion for about 1-2 weeks and i was not impressed with it. I have oily skin already but this just made it 100 times worse! The oily feeling it left on my face was really bad and annoying as it would remove the makeup with it.
Tips: If you have very oily skin i would not recommend you buy this product.
I've been using my large bottle of cetaphil moisturiser on my face for about half a year now, daily. I have sensitive skin, and heaps of friends suggested I use a brand like cetaphil, since they claim to be good on sensitive skin. When I first began to use it, my skin felt like it was burning! I asked the Beauty department at Farmers, they told me that the ingredients might be quite harsh on my skin, and suggested I use a more natural, less acidic formula of moisturiser instead.
Fast forward to now, my skin doesn't get that burning sensation anymore, I guess my skin got used to it.
Compared to most moisturisers, I found that the texture was thick and gloopy, sort of like sunblock. Also, it does not have an SPF rating at all, which is a bit of a downer, since most moisturisers these days at least offer SPF 15...
But it does keep your face moisturised throughout the day, and lasts for ages since they come in big bottles! (From 250ml)
Tips: It felt like it was burning my skin, but after consistent use, it no longer irritates. But definitely ask an expert, in case your experience is different to mine!
I started using this a few years ago as my skin was getting very dry, one of my friends recommended it and thought id give it a go and im glad i did as part of a daily thing i use this in the morning, it makes my face feel soft and it doesn't go dry like it used too, i also use the oil of olay cream too so these two are my fave to use. i have sensitive skin so this does not irritate my skin in anyway, price is pretty good too and the big bottle lasts for a long time so its worth the money in the end.
Derma recommended me to use this product for my face. I ended having pimple burst. It doesnt work for me. After stopping it and going back to my usual face cleanser, my face was ok again. Pimples were gone. A friend also experienced the same thing.
