Deep Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel with Hyaluronic and Polyglutamic Acid, Face Moisturizer, 72 Hour Hydration, For Dry, Dehydrated Sensitive Skin, Fragrance Free, 1.7 oz, Fragrance Free

I have ultra-sensitive skin and shop extensively for facial skin products that my skin can tolerate. Cetaphil Deep Hydrating Skin Water Gel is a real gem. The viscosity is a bit strange, but it smooths over the face, cleanly and evenly. I let it absorb into my face before applying a cream to combat redness (rosacea). The results have been wonderful; my skin is less irritated, smoother, and far more comfortable. The gel has excellent hydrating results. Totally recommended!!!

This product, when combined with the vanicream face wash, cleared my perioral dermatitis in 4 days. I spent more than a year in and out of dermatologist's office and getting tested for allergies. Literally nothing helped. Well, corticosteroids did but they damage your skin and as soon as you stop it comes back worse. I finally found a esuper detailed post about Malassezia / fungal acne on reddit that said bacteria and fungus can feed on the lipids that are common in almost all moisturizers. I don't know how it relates but switching out ALL my face products, for ones like this that are mallesszia-safe on, solved the problem. Also, if you are wondering if this will be moisturizing enough, I have really dry skin that is prone to allergy and eczema. I was worried this would not be nearly enough hydration. But it is. t is light and has a weird, mucous consistency (I know that sounds gross but I don't know how else to describe it) and it feels like nothing going on. But my skin is so happy and not dry at all. No breakouts, no dermatitis, not even any acne.

The Cetaphil Deep Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel has been a great everyday moisturizer. There’s nothing fancy about it — no strong scent, no over-the-top claims — but it really works. It’s gentle, soothing, and keeps skin hydrated without feeling sticky or heavy. Perfect for daily use, especially if you like simple, effective skincare that just does its job.

It's ok. Nothing overly impressive but nothing terrible. It will moisturize your skin and keep your pores from getting clogged. Probably best for acne prone sensitive skin and/or if you're looking for moisturize in the non-winter months. It's a clear jelly that applies to skin easily and absorbs well but if you use even a tiny bit too much, your face will feel heavy and sticky for hours. You need to learn how much is too much (or too little) for your skin. Unscented, works well with my very sensitive skin, and didn't cause any breakouts or blackheads or any other irritation. Washes off easily with a standard face cleanser and keeps skin moisturized all day long. Decent value for the money.

My absolute favorite moisturizer! My skin feels plump and hydrated. Wears well under makeup.

Great hydration for skin. Replaced this simple routine instead of all the expensive anti-aging products I have wasted my money on.

It wasn't until I have learned the phrase "fungal acne" that I realized why everything I applied on my face tends to break me out. This cetaphil moisterizer is not only FA safe, but moisturizes effectiely. There are other FA safe moisturizers on the market, but Cetaphil is affordable and widely available. The only thing I don't like about it is that it comes in a jar, and I prefer a hygenic pump dispenser. Personally I have not experienced anything like "peeling", but I don't put layers of products on my skin. There's a bit stickiness on the finger tips when the product is still wet, but once dried it's perfectly fine. You only need to apply a thin layer on your skin. If you experience extra stickiness or shine you are using too much. The container looks big but it's mostly thick glass. The actual product is only 1.7 oz by volume, about half the max-allowed airline travel size. Overall I am happy with this product. I waited several weeks before writing this review, so I know for sure it does't break me out. I hope Cetaphil will never change the formula or discontinue it. Update: 3 months later still blemish free! After consistent usage my skin is now soft and smooth. Will update further into the winter when air is much dryer.

I found this product by searching Yuka (they specialize in clean and healthy products) - and I use other Cetaphil products so I had high hopes. But I can’t stand this one - it makes my skin shiny and sticky, so you have to use makeup over it, but it does a terrible job underneath makeup. I won’t be buying this one again.
