Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion is gentle and lightweight, which makes it great for sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy residue. However, I don't find it hydrating enough for really dry areas, especially during colder months. It's a decent everyday lotion but not my go-to when I need deep moisture.

While Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion can be used on both face and body, facial application requires more precision and gentleness. Facial skin is thinner and more sensitive than body skin, so use lighter pressure and smaller amounts. The face also has varying skin types across different zones, requiring customized application techniques.

This moisture will help the Cetaphil lotion absorb more effectively and provide enhanced hydration. Never rub your skin dry, as this can cause irritation and micro-tears that compromise your skin barrier. If toner, serums, or treatment products are part of your routine, apply them before your moisturizer to ensure proper absorption and layering.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores or worsen acne when used properly. The gentle, fragrance-free formula is often recommended by dermatologists for acne-prone skin that needs hydration without heavy ingredients.
