I have very dry and sensitive skin and I turned to a dermatologist to help me relieve some of my woes. One of the products she suggested I use was Cetaphil. I’ve seen it at Shoppers Drug Mart many times, but decided to try it finally. I was pleased to learn that Cetaphil is made by a Canadian company.

Their website (www.cetaphil.ca) claims that “Cetaphil is a non-greasy formula that provides fast, long-lasting relief for dry, sensitive skin.”

To Purr About:
- definitely not greasy
- scent-free

Claws Out:
- a bit on the pricey side for body lotion
- doesn’t leave my skin feeling that moisturized
- after a few months of use I was still battling itchy feeling skin

Final Comments:
I wasn’t impressed with this body lotion. I’ve been using it for months now, but did not find it better than other lotions I’ve used in the past, and in some cases it was worse. I wasn’t allergic to it or anything (which is always a plus), but my skin wasn’t left feeling very smooth or moisturized. I also didn’t find that my skin was any less prone to being dry and itchy overall. I probably would not use this lotion again. It’s a bit too pricey for the results I got. I am pretty disappointed that the dermatologist recommended this product to me – I wonder if they get any “bonuses” from the manufacturers for recommending certain products.
