Review: The PERFECT Face Moisturizer!! - Over the past 2 years my face has gotten so dry. Everyone told me that CeraVe was the best but I saw no difference. It only made my face greasy. I came on desertcart looking for something else because what I had wasn't working and I came across this. Let me tell you this stuff works! It makes my face so soft and it was within a week. It's nice that it also helps with acne because I've been getting adult acne all the sudden too which is annoying but I can't help to have extra stuff to help with that either. Not only does this go on quick, smooth and easy, this also does not leave my face greasy at all. This is my go-to moisturizer now for my face for sure. It's not really heavy either like the CeraVe was. It doesn't really have a scent to me. And you're not rubbing forever to get it worked onto your skin like I had to do with this CeraVe. I love, love, LOVE it!!! Thank you Cetaphil!
Review: PLEASE READ. HONEST REVIEW. - Edit: for those saying it doesnt lather or its too clumpy to apply its because you aren’t emulsifying it. It lathers extremely well when you do. Do you have extremely sensitive skin? Like the type of sensitive where you can't even wash your face EVERY single day because products are too harsh type-sensitive? Or the type of sensitive where facial moisturizers will quite literally break you out? As someone who has deeply struggled with acne and my skin overall since middle school, this is the ONLY product that I completely trust (which pairs beautifully with the JunoSkin Melting Balm) You guys... I NEVER write any reviews simply because there has never been a product where I felt like it needed my energy/time to write a review for. However, this product is a complete game changer. *The picture I uploaded is the most problematic side of skin (my left cheek) post workout and HAVEN'T washed my skin yet, no filter, no makeup, nothing. A little backstory on me, I originally started using Cetaphil's Gentle Daily Cleanser but even THAT was extremely harsh on my skin and would cause me to break out/not clear up any acne or dry my skin out completely. However it was the only product my skin would tolerate whenever I needed to clean my skin. I resorted to even making homemade natural treatments like rice water masks, honey masks, and things of that nature and those still did not help my skin at all. Until this! This product is absolutely insane. AS SOON as you use it, you will literally feel any irregularities/acne minimize instantly on your face and it STAYS like that even if you decide not to wash your skin the next day. I like to put it on in the shower and use it as a "mask" while I wash the rest of my body and then rinse off. I will add it can sometimes be drying if you use it frequently (I have oily dominant- combination skin). I will ride hard for this product as long as they don't change a single thing about it because my skin is that sensitive. This is the clearest my skin has ever been, i know its not perfect but comparing to where I started my inner child is truly so happy 🥹, so I will leave my nighttime routine down below for anyone else who may be able to relate (a little goes a long way for me): - Junoskin no. 10 Cleansing Balm (only when I have makeup on or when my pores are clogged) - Cetaphil Clarifying Acne Cream Cleanser (I personally like to let my skin air dry after use) - Good molecules Discoloration Correcting Face Serum (I honestly have no clue how this product doesn't break me out but it is absolutely amazing) - Good molecules Hyaluronic Acid Supplements: - Biotin and collagen gummies (GREAATTTT for hair skin and nails) - Chlorophyll water (Gives such a distinct glow/color to skin it's insane, it will help with digestion/deodorization too) I hope this review helps someone because like I said, I TRULY never leave reviews lol.

A: Yea

**Q: Is this product only for the face? Or it can be used anywhere i get the bumps?**
A: I use mine primarily on my face but there’s no reason it couldn’t be used elsewhere.  It has a somewhat drying effect at first but, in my case, that receded  after a week or so.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best post-shave product for my sensitive skin
*by D***Y on February 1, 2026*

I’m one of those people with a tough beard and sensitive skin. I have been looking for a post shave product for many years. Yet it needed to be moisturizing, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, and not sticky. And I have found that the Cetaphil Face Moisturizer is the best product for me. I just purchased my 4th tube.
