How Cetaphil Moist Lotion Works

This moisturising lotion hydrates the skin by attracting and holding water (humectants like glycerin) and reduces water loss by forming a protective barrier (emollients/occlusives like dimethicone and fatty alcohols). It helps restore the skin barrier, improving softness and reducing dryness-related irritation.

Dosage & Directions

For external use only. Apply liberally on clean, dry skin and massage gently until absorbed. Use 1–3 times daily or as needed; can be used on face and body. Suitable for use after bathing; generally non-greasy and can be used with or without sunscreen/makeup.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
