Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer, SPF 15, Fragrance Free - 4 fl oz

Up until this year I never really took great care of my skin. I know it's horrible, but I'm really making an effort to undo all the damage that I've done over the years. I've been having a great time trying out all kinds of masks, scrubs, moisturizers, etc., on what I'm referring to as my "skincare journey". It sounds kind of cheesy, I know, but it suits my personality. That being said, I've been trying to make an effort to wear sunscreen, something that I've never really done before. I had a sample of Cetaphil's Daily Facial Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 35 for Combination Skin and decided to try it out because the other Cetaphil products that I've tried I have absolutely loved. This one however fell a little bit short of the others. It was supposed to be a ... MoreUp until this year I never really took great care of my skin.

It sounds kind of cheesy, I know, but it suits my personality. That being said, I've been trying to make an effort to wear sunscreen, something that I've never really done before. I had a sample of Cetaphil's Daily Facial Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 35 for Combination Skin and decided to try it out because the other Cetaphil products that I've tried I have absolutely loved. This one however fell a little bit short of the others. It was supposed to be a lightweight moisturizer, but it seemed very thick to me. It smelled like sunscreen as well, and I'm not sure if the fragrance bothered my skin, but it was left with a burning sensation in a few spots. It did absorb quickly into my skin, but it left it very oily and shiny. It's supposed to be made for combination skin like mine and leave a "matte" finish. It did do a good job of hydrating my skin, but it left it kind of greasy feeling. I was not a very big fan of this moisturizer. What it is, is a nourishing lightweight moisturizer that protects against UVA and UVB rays while providing immediate oil-free hydration that lasts for 24 hours, leaving skin with a matte, satin finish. Nourishes the skin with edelweiss flower and Vitamins E, B³, and B⁵. Provides instant and long-lasting 24 hour hydration. Broad Spectrum 35 protects against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays, whole a unique blend of antioxidants protects against surface free radical damage. Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue so that skin is left feeling hydrated and balanced with a matte finish. Dermatologist tested and clinically proven to be gentle on sensitive skin. This lightweight oil-free moisturizer hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier while providing broad spectrum UVA/UVB defense against sunburn. Formulated with edelweiss flower and Vitamins E, B³, and B⁵ to strengthen the skin barrier and prevent surface free radical damage. This oil-free moisturizer hydrates skin for 24 hours while leaving the skin with a matte finish. Ideal for sensitive combination skin. Defends against 5 signs of skin sensitivity including dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, hypoallergenic, and won't clog pores. Immediately soothes and nourishes to repair skin barrier. This moisturizer is intended for skin like mine, but it did not perform very well at all. I don't really think I would recommend this product nor will I be using it again any time soon.

Effectiveness:ExcellentFragrance:MildTexture:Thick, very slight white cast nothing too drastic. Not oily or greasyHave been testing it for a few days, it's a really good moisturizer for its price! 15 SPF is perfect for indoors, if youre planning to stay inside all day. However this level of SPF would not be enough for outdoor use.Chemical sunscreen, so after a few hours it will degrade so be sure to reapply it if youre more concerned about sun protection.For moisturizing properties, i would treat it as more of a creamy lotion. Not immensely hydrating, but definitely worth it for the price considering it leaves your skin soft and supple. Would recommend buying a hydrating serum in case you have dry skin though. But if you have oily skin, id say its pretty ... MoreEffectiveness:ExcellentFragrance:MildTexture:Thick, very slight white cast nothing too drastic.

I do not recommend this product. I purchased this product because it said that it was a daily moisturizer that wasn’t greasy and was fragrance free. I was very excited when I got it and unfortunately, when I went to use it, I realized that it is basically just sunscreen. Very expensive sunscreen. It claims to be non-greasy but it is greasy like a sunscreen. And it says to be fragrance free but it smells like sunscreen. I’ve used Aveeno moisturizers that have SPF in them before and they feel like moisturizers and they don’t smell like sunscreen. So that’s what I was expecting with this. If I knew that I was buying sunscreen, I would’ve just purchased less expensive sunscreen. Total miss.

At the beginning I was so nervous to try it out, and I did finally and I didn’t like it because first time I tried and my skin irritated. And then I was so busy to go and get another one so I use this again so finally after few days I was so comfortable with this cream. Now it is one of my favourite product. I finished one bottle and got my second one, the price is very reasonable, and it helps my skin a lot, I have dry and sensitive skin every time I use cream I use to got so much irritation now with cetaphil I am so comfortable it doesn’t irritate and my skin feel so soft and look nice, and skin doesn’t look oily and it is not greasy at all. And best part of this product has no scent at all. And this product has spf 15 which is perfect for winter time.

These days I’ve been hesitant to experiment with my skincare regime. Finding products suited for your skin can be a difficult process, resulting in lackluster results and money wasted. I’ve also luckily found my staples so I usually don’t have any interest in venturing out. It was quite the journey to get there. However, I was missing a good facial moisturizer that really packed in the SPF. My skin is dry and sensitive in nature, so I need as much moisture as possible. I’ve been using this product well over a month and am pleased with the results I’m seeing. Upon initial wear, I was worried. Due to my skin being sensitive, the first wear of this product slightly burned and produced redness. This quickly went away and hasn’t happened since.

Finding products suited for your skin can be a difficult process, resulting in lackluster results and money wasted. I’ve also luckily found my staples so I usually don’t have any interest in venturing out. It was quite the journey to get there. However, I was missing a good facial moisturizer that really packed in the SPF. My skin is dry and sensitive in nature, so I need as much moisture as possible. I’ve been using this product well over a month and am pleased with the results I’m seeing. Upon initial wear, I was worried. Due to my skin being sensitive, the first wear of this product slightly burned and produced redness. This quickly went away and hasn’t happened since. I use three pumps daily, as my dry skin needs all the moisture it can get. However, I can see standard usage being two pumps per day. The three pumps of product really glide over my skin and settle in quickly. Make sure to really get this product in your skin as it will leave a white residue, if you don’t. Even with doing that, my skin is a tad paler than my normal complexion. I don’t mind as I use this as a preventive moisturizer, quickly following up with makeup after application. This product also works really well as a primer. Since using this product, my face has been moisturized quite well in this dry, winter weather. No peeling. With the SPF being so high, this will be a recurring purchase for me.

I’m fair skinned and it’s 100% intentional. Growing up, my mother reinforced the need to protect the face and neck. Or as she put it “the rose and stem.” It was a minimum of 30 SPF for facial areas. Turns out she was right. While I think Cetaphil is great brand anything less than 30 SPF will not afford you the protection needed. My doctor second this opinion. However, my biggest complaint was how irritating it is if you get it anywhere near the eyes. If you accidentally run your face during the day, you won’t be forgetting it anytime soon.

More Like Face Suncreen

I have used a different Cetaphil facial moisturizer for years. I decided to try this one since it had a higher SPF. The texture, feel and color of this moisturizer feels more like an actual suncreen. It has a yellow tint and its very thick. You feel like you just put a ton of thick sunscreen on your face. Even if you only put a small amount. I will have to save this one for pool/beach use only. Going to order the other Cetaphil facial Moisturizer with less SPF for my daily facial moisturizer.

Not for daily use

I have been searching for an affordable daily moisturizer w/ sunscreen for months now...and my search will continue. For my combination skin, it just didn't work for me. My skin tends to be on the drier side after washing and quickly will become oily with the wrong lotion. This is marketed for combination skin, so I was surprised at how oily my skin felt after applying. The lotion itself is thick, has a yellow-ish tint, and has that faint sunscreen smell to it most tend to have. There is no actual fragrance, thankfully! I have used the lotion 3x so far and I already know this will not work for me on a daily basis. It is greasy from the moment you apply it and gets progressively more greasy as the day goes on.

I do, however, think this would be a good moisturizer to use when you know you'll be outside and would be washing your face an hour or two later. Maybe not for the beach, but certainly well-suited for yard work when you don't want to use regular sunscreen on your face!
