CetaphilFace Moisturizer, Gentle Clear Mattifying Acne Moisturizer With 0.5% Salicylic Acid, Hydrates and Treats Sensitive Acne Prone Skin, Skin Care for Sensitive Skin, 3oz

This Cetaphil moisturizer is a game-changer for my acne-prone skin. The 0.5% salicylic acid helps keep breakouts under control, while the lightweight formula hydrates without clogging pores. It absorbs quickly, leaves a soft matte finish, and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. A great everyday moisturizer for clear, balanced skin!

I've been using moisturizer every morning for several weeks, and I'm genuinely impressed. It delivers light, lasting hydration for up to 48 hours while keeping my skin shine-free. The 0.5% salicylic acid helps prevent breakouts without drying my sensitive complexion, and I've noticed smoother skin texture and less redness.

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!

I have extremely sensitive, oily, flaky skin. I've tried every brand from super expensive to dirt cheap and have never been overly impressed.This has been a pleasant surprise. My skin looks way less oily. My occasional breakouts have virtually disappeared. And to my surprise my skin overall has a much more even tone. I tend to have some redness. And that is significantly reduced.I spend the summers in a very hot and humid climate... My winters are spent in a very cold dry climate. That will be my only concern. The cold dry winter air maybe a little bit too much for this moisturizer. But we shall see, in the meantime I'm very optimistic.

My daughter and I both have breakouts pretty regularly. I was prescribed a medication that I didn’t love and she was given a prescription cream that dried her face out and made it so red. After discontinuing both, I wanted another option. I found this and have been putting on under my makeup, she has as well, and our skin is both clearing up. I only use it in the morning and have not had trouble with drying or redness. I use a little amount and it seems like this will last for quite a while. I’m very impressed with the quality of this and the effectiveness and you can’t beat the price! It doesn’t make my skin look oily and the smell isn’t bad at all! Recommend for teens and adults a like!

I’ve been battling acne all of the sudden and it’s driving me crazy. I am 41 and for the longest time I was so happy with how clear my skin had finally become. It was way clearer than ever before when I was younger. I found the perfect skin routine that was working perfectly for me, until one day it wasn’t anymore. I noticed that my usual daily moisturizer all of the sudden was making my skin look seriously greasy. I figured I’d give this a try after seeing it in the store. I used the bottle fairly quickly and couldn’t find it again in any stores. So I turned to Amazon and without fail it arrived next day. I love using this stuff during the day bc it really cuts down on the greasy feel and keeps that matte finish I am used to having.I’m hoping I won’t need it forever bc i liked using products specifically for aging, but I’ll do what I need to for the time being.

I love skincare but fully believe that daily products should be affordable & effective. This hits both marks.I have acne prone skin and daily use over the past few weeks has really helped minimize my breakouts. It is creamy and spreads well, but absorbs nicely without being too wet, giving a nice bouncy skin texture. I use this on damp skin, put on mineral sunscreen, and then put my makeup directly on top and my makeup lasts all day. Smells simple and clean, and I noticed a decrease in oil production (especially after a long hot day with makeup on where my skin used to get super oily).

I initially left a very positive review but I am updating this after about a month. I like the texture, feel, and scent of this product, but it is drying as opposed to moisturizing and I sometimes develop acne in the places I use it. It does leave my skin tone looking very even though, which I like.
