Good product, not my favourite
I've bought the Cetaphil Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15 as I found a coupon for 7$ OFF at the store. I think that otherwise I won't have tried it.
It's a good product, no strong scent which is good.
Good size.
Really like the dispenser to not waste any product left.
It dries pretty quickly too.
This lotion made my skin ichy and dry. It caused my face to feel dryier than it was before I put the product on. Unfortunately I would not recommend this product.
I like the way this product leaves my face feeling smooth since my skin is dry...But this product is very expensive.i only buy it when it's on sale or I have coupons!
I used to use another Cetaphil daily lotion (from the Derma Control line) and last time I ran out I decided to give this one a try because it's less expensive. It seems a little greasier and I find when I apply it in the morning my face gets oily partway through the day. I also live in a cold climate and sometimes get mild wind burn on my face in the winter and this lotion seemed to irritate that. I'll stick with the Derma Control from now on.
I bought this since I wanted a daily moisturizer that would also protect me from the sun. However, my face became red and puffy and my hands developed a rash after I applied this protect. So if you're allergic to chemical sunscreens, stay away from this product! I realized am allergic to all chemical sunscreens, to a degree, and my reaction to this product tends towards the severe side of the scale. (I also tried using it again, just to confirm that I am indeed allergic to it -- silly me -- and yup, I'm definitely allergic to it.)
My allergic reaction aside, the actual product itself isn't that terrible. The consistency is creamy but light, and can be easily spread. The price is also pretty good for the amount of product, and had I not reacted to this product, I may have bought it again.
I guess that I would recommend this product to people who are not allergic to chemical sunscreens, but the low SPF does worry me a bit, as any type of product containing sunscreen ingredients should be reapplied often for maximum effectiveness, and lower-SPF products should be reapplied even more frequently.
On a side note, there is something funny about this product, actually - its ingredients. On the bottle, it only shows the active ingredients (avobenzone and octocrylene), but none of the other "inactive" ingredients. This is the only product that I've encountered so far that doesn't list all of its ingredients on the label...
Cetaphil is a no frills moisturizer that has a light consistency but still saturates the skin - while being absorbed quickly. It is one of the most reasonably priced, reliable moisturizers on the market, and was actually recommended by my dermatologist. In fact, for an acute facial break-out I had in the past which required prescription medication, I was prescribed Clindamycin contained in a mixture with Cetaphil as a base. What better testament is there to the effectiveness of Cetaphil?
