Does anyone use one of these moisturizers? What is your opinion of them? Do they clog pores or cause any irritation at all? Is it moisturizing enough? And, if you can, would you mind listing the ingredients? Thanks a lot!!

I used them in the past, but need something more moisturizing. When I used it, it didn't clog my pores at all, it did moisturize somewhat, but it didn't last long for me. I'm using Oil of olay complete now for the UV protection, but i think the sunscreen makes me break out a little more than if I didn't use it. the best success I had was just with regular oil of olay that was non-comedegenic (I think that's their way of saying not clogging of pores).

I absolutely love Cetaphil. I use the cleanser(no water) twice a day. First I make a nice lather on my face and gently work it onto the skin and lightly tissue off. Then I apply it a second time and lightly remove and it leaves a very light coverage. Afterwards you can use the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream which is excellent. It is not heavy or oily, leaving the skin soft and foundation covers beautifully over it.
The nice thing too about Cetaphil is no scent, no allergic reactions to bother about from those perfumed cleansers and lotions that make your eyes water.

Thank you both for replying... I have tried the Cetaphil cleanser, but honestly I didn't like it too much. Maybe the moisturizer is better, but I'm not sure yet if I want to spend so much money on it (it's kinda expensive for me)!... I'll wait and see if more people recommend it. :)

Hi, I didn't like the clenser either.I needed something to keep at my boyfriends house and picked up the creme moisturizer after hearing a lot of reviews about it.I have sensitive skin(combination) and usually only use natural stuff. So far hasn't bothered me and after letting it sink in (doesn;t take to long) it is a great base for makeup.(mix it with a drop of jojoba oil) I love it!Sorry can't list the ingredients because I am at work-thats why I've been on this board more lately.lol but I looked them up individually after purchasing and they are all good ingredients-had some that are supposed to attract moisture or something like that.Well its great. :bouncing:

I used the cream cetaphil and felt like it wasnt doing enoght to remove makeup so I tried the Cetaphil gel cleanser that comes in a pump (kinda hard to find) and I love it.
I've used it for at least 2 years and I use the Oil of Olay total effects for moisturizing.
I used to have cystic acne breakouts and this has really helped control it, and my doctor did approve :) Hope this helps

I use both the Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer. I love them both. I don't wear a lot of makeup anymore now that my skin is clearing (the only thing I use is a little bit of Physician's Formula translucent powder and a coverstick to cover fading red spots) so the cleanser feels like it's getting everything off. As for the moisturizer, it works wonderfully for me and I have horribly dry skin due to currently using Accutane. I use it once in the morning and once at night and never had any problem with it clogging pores or causing irritation. Sorry I can't list the ingredients because I'm at work right now.

Thanks for all the replies, I am thinking about trying the Equate brand (off brand version) of the Cetaphil lotion. Has anyone here tried that? The ingredient list looks almost exactly the same. And it's cheaper. ;)
