Or it seemed so at the time. I was suffering from very dry skin and skin allergies and this product was the only thing that didn't irritate it even more.
I'm a lifelong itcher. My skin is dry. I have eczema, dermatitis, allergies. It seems there's always something that makes my skin itchy whether it's wool clothing, drying cold winter air, or simply my skin conditions. I've tried just about everything over the years but regular lotions - even the fragrance-free, dermatologist-recommended ones - don't work for me. I've tried Neutrogena, Aquaphor, Lubriderm, etc. There are great applications for each of those but as a general moisturizer that doesn't make itchiness worse and really seems to moisturize gently, Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream does the trick. Creams, lotions, and petroleum-based moisturizers all feel differently and work differently. Some irritate my skin, some don't. So far, this cream has not disappointed me in any way. Highly recommended. |
Great for everyone

| I absolutely love the cetaphil in the jar. It's incredibly thick but absorbs quickly and without leaving a greasy feeling behind. I used it head to toe throughout my pregnancy and it relieved the itching much better than any other cream i tried. My three month old had developed eczema and dry, chapped, winter skin and after just a few days this cream had completely cleared up the problems. It is really fragrance free (literaly no smell unlike many other "fragrance free") and I would highly recommend it to anyone as a daily moisturizer! |

| This cream is teriffic for dry, chapped, cracked hands. This cream is totally non-irritating and totally fragrance free. I slather it on at night and wear a pair of inexpensive white cotton gloves, although you don't really need them because the cream is not greasy. White Cotton Parade Gloves (By the way, no need to buy expensive "medical" gloves--the cheap ones work fine.) Works like a charm! Also keeps cuticles soft and preserves that manicure. Highly recommended! |
Eczema solution! Finally!

My daughter has been suffering from eczema since she was a baby. I pretty much tried everything, including the ointment prescribed by the doctor. I didn't really want to use the medicated ointment, because of the cortizone. I also realize that eczema is an inflammation of the skin caused by various factors, including certain food items. I tried restricting certain food from her diet, but I found it extremely difficult.
Anyways, I did some research, and I tried the following combination:
Omega liquid (2 times a day) - good for brain development, skin etc
Chewable pro-biotic tablets (2 times a day) - she thinks it's candy (I heard positive things about this)
Cataphil cream (2 times a day - once in the morning before daycare and once right after bath)
Switched her soap to "SOAP WORKS" olive oil bar, which is normally found in health food stores.
I have been following the above method for about a month, and I can honestly say her skin has improved significantly. Her dry patches are pretty much all gone and her skin is glowing!!!
I truly believe the above combo is helping out, but I need to give a huge credit to CETAPHIL. I tried everything, yet this cream is by far the best I have tried on her. It goes on so easily, it is greaseless, yet moisturizes beatifully. AWESOME PRODUCT!

| I live in an area with very low humidity (summer seldom more than around 30% and winter usually around 10%) and as a result have problems with dry skin. I also have severe allergies and develop sensitivity to moisturizers after a few weeks. This one works and I have no problems developing sensitivity to it. |
Good for people with acne and sensitive skin

I love this. My dermatologist has always told me to use cetaphil because I have acne. I was actually using the cetaphil facial moisturizer for a while until I tried this. I like it a lot better because it moisturizes my face a lot better than the other.
I use it on my face and neck every time I wash my face (morning and night). It doesn't feel too thick, but it helps moisturize. It Doesn't feel greasy, oily, or sticky either. Another plus is that it lasts forever if you use it for mainly your face. I'm guilty for using in on the dry patches on my arms though! |
Without it I'd turn to dust!

I've been using this cream for about 10 years. My dermatologist recommended it to me for my mild eczema. His tip, which makes all the difference in the world, is to apply it after a bath/shower while there are still beads of water on the skin. Works every time! If I apply it without wet skin it works okay but not as good. I no longer have eczema problems but still use this product for my severely dry skin. If I go without it for too long I swear I'd turn into a pile of dust. I use it everywhere: legs, arms, tummy, even my face (which I don't recommend if you have acne prone skin). I have small children and am always washing my hands and this is the only rescue from my hands drying, cracking and being extremely painful.
As long as this stuff is being made I will buy it. |

| I love this stuff. I use it as a facial lotion. This tub has lasted me over a year and I use it on a daily basis. I have extremely sensitive skin and this lotion hasn't irritated my face at all. It also has NO smell at all, no weird chemical smells or anything. It goes on a tad bit greasy if you use too much, but it quickly absorbs. It also doesn't irritate my acne. When I don't use this product, my face gets really dry like it usually does, but it works great when I use it. If I had to pick a con, it would be that I hate that this product is in a tub.....since it lasts so long, I don't like the thought of dipping my hands into a tub, it feels unsanitary. If you accidentally forget to put the lid on, the product gets hard at the top......either way, whatever. It still works great. |
Great for sensitive skin

| I love this stuff! I use Differin and Duac gel on my face, both of which are acne medicines that dry out your skin. I use this on my face both morning and night and it works great to keep the flakiness away. This does not leave my face greasy, nor does it break me out. I also slather it on my body during the winter as it works well on "winter itch". |
Always needing hydration on the skin

| Reviewer: Diane Thomas, |
| Cetaphil products have helped me go from complaining about itchy legs and extremely dry feet to recommending all of the cetaphil products to my family. The cream hydrates the skin and the soap doesn't stripe the skin of it's natural barriers. It's a costly product, but Amazon always seems to come up with the best prices and free shipping for this product. |
Wonderful for sensitive dry skin

| Reviewer: Penmouse, |
On my doctor's advice I started using Cetaphil products. I absolutely love the moisturizing cream as it seems to really sink into the skin and moisturize it. I always apply this cream before going to sleep at night followed up by an application the following day. During particularly dry seasons, I may apply this cream several times a day.
This stuff really works. I suffer from very dry skin and Atopic Dermatitis. Applying the Cetaphil cream seems to help alleviate these skin conditions. What is really nice is the skin cream is unscented. Sensitive skin, like mine, can be irritated by perfumed lotions.
Highly reommend. |
Great Product

| I'm so glad my dermatologist suggested this product. It really had made my dry skin much softer and quite smooth and the dry itchy skin has calmed down. |
Outstanding moisturizer - fights eczema & skin disorders

Our family fights eczema and other allergy-induced skin ailments. Cetaphil is by far the best lotion/moisturizer on the market for treatment of these problems (and we have tried many).
Here's a side benefit: it is non-greasy and does NOT stain clothing. |
Non-greasy dry skin relief!

| This Cetaphil product has fulfilled all my expectations! It is clean and light with no strong perfume smell. It is not greasy and doesn't clog my pores or make me feel like I've been dipped in a vat of oil. Most of all, it moisturizes my skin, especially in the winter months where the heater drys out skin and makes it itchy and flaky. It is light enough to use anytime--under makeup or before bed. I've tried several creams and I love this one! |
Excellent product, highly recommend it!

| Well, I love this cream. I have been using all kinds of moisturizing cream for the kids family but nothing is better than this one so far. It's quite rich but doesn not feel greesy, as the cream is very aborbant and leaves a fresh feeling on your skin. It keeps the kids' skin well moisturized and soft and it's very soothing to the touch. I normally don't use it on my face but only hands and legs, but if I run out of my facial cream I use it on my face too and it feels just as great. I probably could just use this one as well. It's a must have for our family now. |
Best Stuff Ever

| I have consistantly used this product for years. My skin is sensitive and dry, especially in the winter. A very little amount goes a long way. It is great under make-up as a moisturizer. My daughter lives in Colorado where it is very dry in the winter, and she just loves it when I send Cetaphil to her for her birthday. The fact that Cetaphil is fragrance free is just another big plus. |
recommended by pediatrician

| Reviewer: OnlineJane, |
| My son's pediatrician recommended this product to be used instead of J&J or other kinds of baby lotion products. The 2-pack is a great value. |
WOW! This stuff works

| I cover my face and neck with Cetaphil every night and especially love how it soaks in after using the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Rejuvenator, The Anti Aging Power Treatment Kit (which I use two or three times a week).The results have been amazing to say the least! I just turned 39 and am starting to see some signs of aging and just really dull skin. But thanks to these two products, my husband (who doesn't notice these things) says my skin now looks "very healthy." Couldn't be happier with the quality of Cetaphil; it really works, especially in the very dry climate of Colorado. |
Better than most

I have very dry skin and eczema, and my dermatologist recommended this product. It is the only moisturizing cream that worked for me. I found that it stays in the skin without giving the greasy or wet feeling that you have after applying other moisturizing creams.
Pros: Not greasy; does not feel wet; works really well for severely dry skin.
Cons: You still have to apply it daily... Oh well.
Botton line: go for it. |
