Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion - Review
Now that I had tried the cleanser, I had to try the moisturising lotion too!
It claims: Non-comedogenic Cetaphil® Moisturizing Lotion has a non-greasy formulation that is mild, non-irritating and long lasting. This gentle moisturizing formula contains emollients and humectants that bind moisture to the skin. This fragrance-free moisturizer contains no lanolins or parabens.
Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil (Macademia Nut Oil), Dimethicone, Tocopheryl Acetate, Stearoxytrimethylsilane, Stearyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Farnesol, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid.
Price: Rs. 200 for 100 ml
Indications: Dry Skin Conditions
What I liked:
1. Highly moisturizing, it instantly calms dry skin & forms a light film on top of the skin. Most moisturisers that are this softening tend to be greasy (like cold cream) - this one combines intense moisture with minimum greasiness.
2. Fragrance & Paraben - free
3. It does not sting or irritate dry or flaky skin at all
4. It is a perfect base for addition of essential skin oils. Once a month, mix a drop of your fav skin oil (I like sesame) into 2-3 drops of this & apply. Best left on overnight for a creamy treat for the skin.
5. Didn't cause any acne.

What I didn't like:
1. It gets a little greasy after a while, feels thick on the skin. I hate the feel of this, esp during these hot humid months.
Would I re-purchase: It is a very good, fuss-free moisturizer that works instantly. But I would never wear this during the day, it feels very thick & stifling. I would keep a bottle around though to apply during the night, sometimes my skin takes a bit of beating thanks to me being negligent with my night cream. This lotion is a perfect overnight solution to deal with my negligence.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a good option in winters
ReplyDeletei have always wanted to use cetaphil range. wish it had SPF.
ReplyDeleteI am yet to try the cleanser and thanks for reminding me Tanz :)
ReplyDeleteWhen sis had some acne problems, the dermatologist suggested some cetaphil stuff..and it improved gradually! Since then I have been a supporter of cetaphil!
ReplyDeleteYep, I have been using Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion for a while now and its indeed quite nice. Especially during winters here in Australia. Wouldn't recommend using it in other seasons though since its a heavy moisturiser.
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing a new prdt!! :)
