Used this cream during my vacation in the Caribbean. It kept my skin hydrated and moisturized.I have very sensitive skin and this product didn't cause any issues. This is now part of my facial/ skin routine. 👍🏾👍🏾

This isn't my everyday face moisturizer, but my tattoo artist recommended using Cetaphil Soothing Gel for aftercare on my healing tattoo, and it’s been great for that! It’s not too harsh, has a gentle feel, and gives great moisture, helping my tattoo heal just as it should. While I don't normally use it on my face, I have in a pinch, and it feels great—not too sticky. It also has a cooling effect if my face is flaring up, which feels really nice.

I live in Arizona, so as soon as you get out of the shower in the summer you start sweating. Usually, I use the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion (Dry to normal, sensitive skin), but during the summer it makes the sweating worse. So, I decided to try the Aloe Gel Cream. For summer, it has the perfect amount of moisture, and makes putting sunscreen on top of it easier. The biggest dislike I have(and why I took off a star) is how it feels for the first 30-45 minutes after application, if you don’t put sunscreen on right away. It is so sticky, I hate to put clothes on after. It gets better as the day goes on, but if I am not putting a sunscreen on right away, it’s not a good feeling. That being said, I will still continue to use this through the summer.

This is a staple product for me for years. I put it on after i shave onto my face to cool and soothe razor burn I also lightly apply to forehead and under eyes because its just great for skin in general.

Very good stuff

This cream is ultraMoisturizer! I use it on my whole body !

I have sensitive skin, my face is oily but after a shower I get really dry, I put a little on my face once after a shower and it was super sticky and the next day I had a few pimples. The ingredients suck too it has SOYBEAN OIL.... WHY!!!! I used on my arms too which aren't usually oily and just dry and I got a fat pimple the next day, I didn't use a lot either just a drop and spread it around to test it out, no idea how this works for people. Maybe useful on the hands but that's about it for me. No thanks. Waste of money and will not be using again.
