Calls Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream the best moisturiser ever; nothing pricier has beaten it.

“Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. Best moisturizer to ever exist.”

The best moisturizer so far for their acne-prone, retinoid-worn skin: hydrating without breakouts, though they want something richer.

“Currently using Cetaphil moisturizing cream … bought this off hand while on vacation and it’s been the best to my skin, more hydrating but also doesn’t break me out”

Amazing on sensitive, acne-rosacea skin; no breakouts.

“The one with green lid. It truly is amazing and did not break me out.”

An almost identical swap for CeraVe that didn't break them out.

“CeraVe broke me out too but I found that Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream was almost identical and did not break me out!”

Layers Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream over CeraVe Moisturizing Cream as the occlusive step; it is what works best for their dry skin after six months.

“6 months later what works best for me is using a super gentle milk cleanser. And then CeraVe moisturizing cream followed by Cetaphil moisturizing cream. The first has emollients to moisturize and the second has occlusives to lock moisture in.”

Doesn't clog their pores and great for dry winter skin.

“I personally use it on my body and my face because it doesn’t clog my pores + it’s great for dry skin during the winter”

Older than 36 months. These may describe an earlier version.

Really loves it for the dry months.

“For the dry months coming up, I reeally love the cetaphil moisturizing cream.”

The reformulated green-lid version breaks them out, unlike the old blue-lid cream.

“Cetaphil with a green lid makes me break out”

Fewer breakouts on their oily, acne-prone skin since switching to it.

“My skin definitely has less breakout since I stopped the dermasil dollar store moisturizers and started using the cetaphil cream”

Works great on their extremely dry skin, just behind Illiyoon's ceramide cream for moisture.

“They both work great for me and are, texturally, pretty similar. The Illiyoon cream edges out the Cetaphil ever so slightly for me”
