The game changer!
Cetaphil Salicylic Acid Lotion has been a complete life changer for me! I’ve used every cream, lotion and magic potion for my bumpy arms and at 36 I’d given up! But then I tried this magic lotion and my arms are smooth, silky and so soft! After the first use I was seeing a difference, feeling a difference! I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, but here I am after 2 weeks of use with the softest arms I’ve ever had! I even wore sleeveless tops last week instead of hiding my arms away! No more bumpy texture, no more KP, no more self conscious worrying! This is going to be a staple in my skincare routine for the rest of my life! I’ve already ordered 2 more bottles because I’m so elated at the results. 10/10 would recommend!

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.

Great product
I’ve been using the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Lotion daily after showering on my whole body, and I’m very happy with the results. It absorbs well without leaving a sticky film, and it really hydrates the skin — I can still feel the softness and moisture the next day. The texture could be a little lighter, but it’s not a big issue. The only downside for me is the lack of fragrance, as I personally prefer a light scent in body lotions. Overall, it’s an excellent product that delivers on hydration and smoothness.

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!

Great product for oily & acne-prone skin
Initially skeptical about it's performance as I have my oily and acne-prone skin. However, decided to give it a try because of it's brand reputation and secondly because of salicylic acid, which I know as a keratolytic agent.
After using for a week, my skin feels very calm and free from blocked glands on the skin. But the main disadvantage about it's usage which I felt is it looks oily after application and clearly visible to others as if we applied something, which is not comfortable sometimes. Apart from that, I am happy with the product and it's performance and recommend giving a try.

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 Salicylic Acid Lotion
I’ve tested this lotion for a couple of weeks. I had some rough, dry skin around my elbow and on my forearm. From the first use, I noticed an improvement in the skin’s texture and moisture. It stopped being so flaky, I noticed the old dry layer fading and being replaced by healthier skin. After using it a few more times, the area became smooth and deeply moisturized.
The lotion doesn’t have a fragrance, just the typical scent of a product with salicylic acid. It’s gentle, non greasy and absorbs very quickly. I think it will be a staple for anyone who wants gentle exfoliation without irritating sensitive skin.

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.
