Cetaphil Deep Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel 72 Hour Face Moisturizer, 1.7 fl oz

Overall my skin is dry to very dry. It's my fault for not looking at the listing better but I tend to not love “gel” moisturizers. This moisturizer leaves my skin feeling sticky for over 15 minutes and tacky feeling for another 15. Think of, your hair sticking to your lip loss sticky. I like that it's unscented, it stays true to the listing in that aspect. As for moisturizing - it's a flat one star for me. It leaves me constantly wanting more on my face. I don't notice any complexion or “skin fix” differences. I've been using Tatcha's indigo overnight cream. I was trying to find something similar that was cheaper but this is far from it. It could be good for someone that has normal to oily skin or normal to dry if you can get past the initial stickiness. Or even someone that is just looking for a very light summer moisturizer. Either way, very much not a night cream and 72 hours is laughable. I won't be picking it up again.

Love the way this cream hydrates my face especially under my eyes. It is wonderful and has lasted a long time. Worth the cost!

Disappointing. Doesn't really absorb into my skin, no matter how much I rubbed it in. Just sits on the surface, dries and then flakes off.

I love this lotion. It is so cooling and light on my face. I love that it has no scent. I do try to buy it when it's on sale.

Face feels soft and hydrated after use

Just trying out new product

For reference, I'm a 39 year-old male with combination, slightly sensitive skin, that doesn't do well with heavy, oil-laden creams. I shave regularly, and have no persistent or chronic skin conditions. Bought this gel moisturizer about a week ago. I absolutely love it. For a gel, it hydrates like butter, absorbs neatly and quickly, and leaves no residue to speak of. I have skin that varies from oily to slightly dry, and this moisturizer evens and compensates for this. No irritation noted. Delicate, watery scent that seems to come from the ingredients, as no fragrances are listed. It has a slight cooling/quenching effect that is quite pleasant, even when applying the gel after the shower in a steamy environment. Skin tone appeared smoothed and more polished, face looked and felt refreshed, and the slight redness from sun exposure is soothed almost entirely from visibility. No peeling or pilling noted. Packaging is quite attractive for the price point, and the quality for the price appears to be a great value; despite it being a gel, it abounds in spreadability and absorption, to the extent that relatively small quantities can cover a surprising amount of face. Excellent slip and feel, too. I usually don't leave reviews for consumables like skincare, but I felt satisfied enough to share.

Is a very good product for my skincare routine I'm going to start using but the price compared to other retailers is a very big factor , overall very satisfied with my experience

Does it lock in moisture...yes, however, it leaves face extremely sticky for over 30 minutes. I applied it one night before bed that my face stuck to the pillowcase. Never have I used a face moisturizer that left the skin sticky.

I really like moisturizer.The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling.It keeps my skin hydrated all day and feels very refreshing.It has a mild scent and works well for sensitive skin.My face looks smoother and more hydrated after using it regularly
