Review: Moisturizer - 4th Update years later: I still use this moisturizer. Some toners tend to feel sticky but I found that the CeraVe toner (my doctor recommended this brand as eczema safe and natural) works well with this moisturizer without feeling heavy, sticky, and doesn't make me flare up! 3rd update: I realized I can't use other moisturizers, Ive gotten too used to this product. I've tried using other products of moisturizers and they felt HEAVY and sticky. This is VERY light weight which I appreciate. That is all☺️ 7 month update: I tend to sweat profusely especially in the summer time around my scalp and forehead. I waited to update to see how to use this best. While using this product i found that using a smaller amount was best. If you tend to sweat a lot like me, use toner then apply a pea - pea and a 1/2 size amount of moisturizer. I still tend to sweat till it runs into my eyes, but using less moisturizer prevented the product from running into my eye while sweating. I use this before putting on my makeup and it doesn't feel caked. I have oily skin prone to break outs and wanted to start using a cream after washing my face due to feeling dry afterwords. I dont have a beauty routine, rarely use makeup, nor informed on beauty trends etc but I wanted to start taking better care of my appearance lately. I compared different pricing for (oily skin/acne control) face moisturizers both online and my local Walgreens and Walmart. Note: the cream I was looking for had to be safe for sensitive skin as I suffer from eczema and remembered Cetaphil was one of the brands my doctor said was more natural and safer. I've been using this for about 2 weeks now. Result: it doesn't burn and no signs of inflammation. It doesn't smell great but it helps A LOT with not feeling dry from washing. It does not mattify my skin as it states and my oilyness is about the same throughout my regular work days. But it did do something when I saw myself in my review mirror when the sun was on my face. I noticed my face shined all over where I placed this cream. I just learned of the glass face look beauty trend and it looks slightly similar to that effect from the use of this cream on my face. I've had compliments on my skin from clients/family which is nice to hear. I usually wash my face with a acne face wash for oily skin, use a toner and a brightening eye serum from my local Ross store, and this cream to "seal" it all in. I admit I tend to touch my face out of habit which causes a pimple to come out. I will be editing my review in the summer as I tend to sweat profusely from my scalp/face and will note if this cream if bothersome or not. Overall it helps with dryness and it helps my skin look nice and shiny (vibrant?) in the sun so I'm happy with the product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The PERFECT Face Moisturizer!!
*by A***A on January 28, 2026*

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 Amazon 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!
