Helped with KP!
I used this all over my arms and legs for a few weeks, and found that it definitely reduced the visibility of my keratosis pilaris. It’s unscented and didn’t sting when applied. I felt like it was quite thick and I did need a few pumps to cover each leg/arm. The main drawback for me was that it didn’t provide the level of moisturising I would have liked, especially on my knees and elbows where things are a bit drier.
I would definitely recommend to anybody struggling with KP as this certainly helped with the roughness on the backs of my upper arms, but if you have drier skin I would probably suggest using a different product in those areas.

Worth every penny!
The Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Lotion is such a soft, glow-boosting staple! The scent is light and clean,barely there, but super fresh. It gives surprisingly good hydration for an exfoliating lotion, leaving my skin smooth and bouncy without any tightness. The blend of salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and PHA works gently but effectively; even after one use, my skin felt softer and looked more refined.
It absorbs quickly with zero sticky residue, which I love. And for the amount you get, it’s really great value,it replaces both a scrub and a heavy moisturizer in my routine. Overall: gentle, effective, and perfect for everyday glow. ✨

Excellent for dry and sensitive skin
Long lasting moisturisation on dry skin, even with a small amount of product applied. I've never used 'acid' skin products before, but was pleasantly surprised at how gentle it was - a little tingling at most, though that might've been my imagination. the lotion takes a bit of working in to the skin and is eventually non greasy, even though it leaves the skin a little shiny. Also seemed to help a lot with oily areas, evening out skin texture and tone. The actual exfoliation effect is very gentle, and it doesn't help as much as I'd hoped with problem areas of dry and flaky skin. Still, it's a great lotion for the daily maintainance of sensitive skin!

Smoother skin
I have been trying the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Salicylic Acid Lotion, and I’m honestly impressed with how balanced it feels. It gives me the benefits of salicylic acid without the dryness or tightness I usually get from exfoliating products. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers really well under my other skincare.
After using it consistently, my skin feels smoother and looks more even, especially around areas where I tend to get congestion. It’s gentle enough for daily use, which is a win for sensitive skin routines. If you’re looking for a mild exfoliant that keeps skin soft and comfortable, this one is definitely worth trying.

My skin savior
I have been using the cetaphil exfoliating lotion for two weeks on my face and body both and I am amazed with the results. My skin looks much smoother and soft as before . I had dry and rough patches on my arms and legs and they are completely gone. Usually, exfoliating products leave my skin feeling tight or irritated, but this one keeps it smooth and calm . It never caused any irritation and breakouts. It absorbs quickly into my skin and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, and has noticeably
improved my skin’s texture and softness. I appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and also travel friendly . This lotion has become the mush have in my daily routine .

Cetaphil lotion
I was excited to try this product as i had never used a product with salicylic acid before and had high hopes. The lotion is thin and applies nicely to the skin. There is no white cast and it feels light on the skin not heavy after application. My only criticism is that my skin is naturally quite dry and I feel this product made it worse. Although it was hydrated immediately with application, it did not feel like it was a long lasting hydration and my skin appeared much more dry in the two weeks I tested this product. The product applies nicely and feels nice on the skin, however I wouldn't recommend it to someone who has dry skin based on my own experience.

Great gentle moisturiser!
I love Cetaphil products and had already tried the cleanser in this range — I literally just finished the bottle so I was really excited to try this moisturiser. It’s surprisingly light and gentle, especially considering it contains acids. My skin can be sensitive and sometimes reacts to acids, but this one doesn’t irritate me at all.
It’s meant to help with cell renewal, so I’ve been using it on the little bumps on my arms, and it’s been great for that. It absorbs really well with no sticky residue and just sinks straight in. The pump makes it easy to dispense, and the bottle is a good size, so it should last quite a while.

Hydrating Lotion
I’ve just received Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Salicylic Acid Lotion Moisturiser For Face & Body for free from the home tested club. This lotion is fantastic I put this on in a morning and then on a evening after my shower and it left my body feeling so soft I used this on my face every other day and it left my face feeling so smooth and soft. The product absorbed really well into my skin and it isn’t too greasy or heavy on the skin. It says the product is scent free however it does have a very strange smell when I applied this on my face. I’ve noticed a difference in my skin after using this product for a couple of weeks.
