Texture and Consistency

Pros:

  • "Cream goes on smoothly and moisturizes without being greasy."
  • "This stuff is thick, if that is what you are looking for."
  • "It's incredibly thick but absorbs quickly and without leaving a greasy feeling behind."
  • "This is a cream, not a watered-down LOTION but a super thick cream without scent. It actually does penetrate the epidermis well."
  • "When you open this you can tell it's very very thick & creamy. The texture is creamy & greasy. A little bit will go a long way."
  • "It's thick, but it blends in easily."
  • "It is thick like vaseline but wipes on like a lotion (only thicker) for extreme dryness of face or other areas."

Cons:

  • "It states that it is non-greasy, but it leaves a shine and feels slick."
  • "It will feel a little greasy at first but just give it a couple minutes and your skin will absorb it and feel dry again."
  • "It is a cream so it is a little greasier than normal lotions but it works for me."
  • "This cream is not for face and body as the picture on amazon shows... it looks like a solid block from inside and not creamy smooth as it should be."
  • "This product leaves your hands feeling oily as Cetaphil Fragrance Free Moisturizing with the blue cap does not."
  • "When applying it feels very tacky, doesn't go on smoothly and I feel I have to use more product (compared to cetaphil)."
  • "Why did Cetaphil change their formula from Shea Butter to this piece of dung?! If it's not broke, don't fix it! New formula feels greasy and light, and does not absorb well into skin!"

Skin Sensitivity and Eczema

Pros:

  • "It helps my sensitive skin and leaves it moisturized."
  • "Fragrance free for those who are sensitive."
  • "I have really sensitive skin, with rosacea and eczema. This is the only stuff that doesn't flare it up, and actually keeps both away!"
  • "This is such a good cream for people that have eczema."
  • "I have mild eczema and my dermatologist recommended this lotion to help keep my skin moisturized and keep the eczema from coming back."
  • "This is the only product that doesn't completely irritate my eczema."
  • "This is the only cream we can use for my son's severe eczema."

Cons:

  • "Perfumed lotions like Jergens make the skin on my face burn and peel."
  • "I should have read other reviews, this is for BODY and if you have sensitive skin you may have redness and a reaction as I and others did."
  • "This cream can cause slight stinging on my eczema when the breakouts are really bad, but it absorbs better than the more hardcore stuff which is why I use it over the thicker creams."
  • "Unfortunately it clogged pores that I didn't even know I had and made my very dry skin feel waxy."
  • "Normal lotions with scent would burn my skin and didn't seem to produce results that lasted for more than a couple hours."
  • "This helped a little. I have switched to the lotion. I like the gooey feel, but after six hours I start to itch."
  • "Cleared up my baby's eczema in a few days. All other 'natural' products caused flare ups, including the Cetaphil Baby line."

Moisturizing Effect

Pros:

  • "This lotion is amazing. I use it on my face as well and have not had any problems with break outs."
  • "The best lotion for those people like me who have very dry skin. I have tried so many expensive lotions and nothing seemed to work."
  • "I like the way it goes on and how my skin absorbed it. Really rich and creamy."
  • "The cream made my skin feels nice and soft."
  • "My old lotions took hours to get rid of the rash--up to 6. The Cetaphil cream kills the redness in under half an hour."
  • "This does not leave a greasy feeling on my skin and I can actually tell my skin is moisturized after using this."
  • "It does not burn upon application and is extremely moisturizing whilst absorbing quickly without being greasy."
