Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $$ ($10-$20) – Available at Walmart, Target, and Walgreens.
Scent: Fragrance free
I Like: how rich and easily spreadable the cream is. Moisturizes body and face. Effectively treats dry, irritated skin. A good value.
Not a fan of: the petroleum-based ingredients.
Cetaphil’s Moisturizing Cream is a fantastic gateway moisturizer for those who are not too concerned about how natural their skin care products are. This widely-available unscented cream effectively moisturizes dry, sensitive skin on the body as well as the face. Its consistency is extremely thick – similar to that of Crisco, but nowhere near as greasy. What impresses me most about the cream is how quickly it alleviates dryness. The product leaves behind a slightly greasy film, but it becomes hardly noticeable ten minutes after application. If you’re still using your girlfriend’s synthetic berry-scented lotion, you should consider moving on to a fragrance-free alternative such as Cetaphil’s Moisturizing Cream. It does a better job at moisturizing without making you smell like an air freshener.
