Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream Review For Dry & Sensitive Skin

I received the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream free from Influenster in the Jingle VoxBox to test out. I was excited to get this Cetaphil Cream as I fondly remember it being the lotion I'd see in my Grandmother's bathroom. Personally, my typical lotion is store-brand lotion with cocoa butter, so Cetaphil has never been on my radar outside of seeing it in my Grandmother's bathroom.

 
I've used the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream for about a week now, at least once a day on my hands and occasionally on my feet, and I have to say I do like it. Keep reading to get my honest review.

Final verdict

While I've liked using the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, I'll have to consider whether I want to pay 3x as much as I currently do for lotion. If I lived in a colder climate, I think the price might be worth it, but living in Florida, I don't have much use for such an intense lotion.
