Cetaphil wa recommended to me by my dermatologist around 6 years ago, and I still believe it is the best moisturiser out. Cetaphil is a no-frills moisturiser, but don't be put off by its relatively cheap price or the fact that it is fragrance free. Cetaphil provides great moisture for the driest of skin. The lotion is great for daily use as it is very light and easy to wear under makeup.

Reviews
No way I would have ever tried this if I didn't get it for review! The packaging is so clinical looking but don't let that put you off as it did me! Its so light, a bit thin, yet really moisturising without being greasy, and a little goes a long way, I kept squeezing too much out of the bottle (thats me not the opening on the bottle - its a nice small hole) and what I meant for just my arms would end up doing half my body. My skin still feels good until my next daily shower without having to reapply- I have some dry areas on my body and this really helped to keep them soft and moisturised.
I really do prefer pretty smelling ones but to be honest - this being unscented actually gave me a nice break from that, and I found it to mix really nicely with essential oils, other creams and my rosehip oils. Great on freshly shaved skin and good on my oily face too - no extra breakouts whatsoever, Although it was a bit shiny for daytime.
I used it on my daughter as well who suffers from eczema and it kept her skin nicely hydrated without causing any irritation, which has been difficult before Cetaphil. Will definitely be purchasing this in the future, I wish I had tried it sooner :)
Tips: I also mixed this with a more expensive heavier perfumed lotion - tones down the perfume of the pricier one and makes it go further :)
I have actually never heard of this moisturiser before so I was definitely interested in trying something new to see how it works and how it would compare to other moisturisers that I have used. Since iv been pregnant iv had really dry skin and from the first application of using this I would highly recommend it. Cetaphil leaves my skin hydrated until I have a shower and I don't have to reapply it throughout the day like I would have to with some other moisturisers. I love that it lasts for quite a long time also that it doesn't have a scent. Being a mum to be I would definitely try this on my baby's skin since it has done so much good for my skin. I also like that you don't have to use too much just to get the full effect of what it does. Definitely a good product for sensitive and dry skin.
I found using cetaphil surprisingly useful in many different situations. I had a patch of dry skin and it was great for re moisturising it. It's too heavy for the face, but was great everywhere else. Also my partner used it to massage my feet and commented on the difference it makes to my skin and said it was easy to massage with. Love the fact it has no chemicals in it and you can completely tell the difference. Also a little bit goes a long way so I feel one small bottle would last a long time. Only issue I faced was if I applied too much it sat on the skin instead of soaking in and became a little oily. Great value for money and a great all round moisturiser.
Tips: Great for dry skin, but use sparingly a little goes a long way.
For this trial I stopped using my usual moisturizer altogether in order to get a good feel for what this product does. I used this product as a replacement for my all over body moisturizer during the trial and found it to be fairly effective at first. It kept my skin up to the usual standard that I am accustomed to for the first few days. Its non-greasy feel and ability to dry quickly so as not to come off on your clothing is very true to label, no weird smells spreads well onto the skin and absorbs very well. I am however unfortunate to have temperamental skin that reacts to a few unknown ingredients (still working those ones out as I go along) but apart from a few minor issues that I'm certain are specific to my own skin the product did wonderfully at what it said it would do. While personally I won't use again due to my own personal issues for those who don't have reactive skin like myself it could be a good option for those who have oily or combination skin due to its ability to hydrate the skin and its non-comedogenic properties.(doesn't block pores)
Tips: It may be made for all skin types but if you're the type like me to get reactions to ingredients from your sensitive skin reacting to ingredients unknown you'll be better to avoid. If you don't have reactive skin like me this one will do you well
Nothing fancy, just a really good moisteriser. I have sensitive and dry skin but using this moisteriser every day really helps, and I haven't noticed any adverse side effects like acne.
Tips: I use a small amount every morning after washing my face and put bb cream on top so that I don't have to wear make up
Ive tried so many cleansers, and they all seem to make my skin worse. This is the first cleanser that makes my skin feel clean (but not squeaky clean) which is good. As it cleanses but doesnt strip your face of all the oils. You get alot of product for the price and i will continue to repurchase and repurchase.
Tips: Apply to a wet face, rub in circular movements. Then i use a scrubber sponge to exfoliate lightly at the same time
I love this product. It may not be super fancy, but it definitely does what it says it should. My skin has sensitive times especially in winter and this moisturiser is great to restore the moisture.
Tips: Dont need large amounts
As much as I hate the packaging of this product, you can't beat Cetaphil when your face is being hyper sensitive, and needs a little TLC.
My skin can get oily quickly with thick moisturizers. I tried cetaphil and found it didn't leave any oily residue and didnt feel heavy on my skin. Would definitely use this product again.
