Rated 4 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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 .

Rated 3 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sensational I have recently been having an issue with finding a moisturiser for my face that doesn’t break me out, or damage my skin, and this has changed my life, I have seen a dramatic improvement within small bumps I’ve had on my forehead and also on my chest area I’ve been applying once a night and it’s been perfect, it’s a nice light weight moisturiser that sinks into the skin fast without leaving you feeling dry I love thissss

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth hydrated skin without the Fuss Honestly, I was really impressed with this. It’s super lightweight, doesn’t have any scent, and feels really gentle on the skin. I’ve been using it on both my face and body, and my skin already feels smoother and softer after just a few uses. It has salicylic acid plus mandelic acid, so it helps exfoliate without being harsh – great if you have rough or bumpy skin (like on the backs of your arms). Plus, it keeps your skin nicely hydrated at the same time. If you’re looking for something that gently smooths and moisturises without irritation, this is a solid choice. Perfect for everyday use. Would I buy again? Yep!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for daily use! I've been using Cetaphil Salicylic Acid Lotion for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed with the results. I used it daily and it’s proven to give me softer skin on my arms and face. It’s also stopped break outs over a stressful period in work, where I am really busy. This lotion is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed, not greasy or sticky. The 2% salicylic acid is effective at clearing up minor breakouts and preventing new ones from forming, but it's also gentle enough for daily use. I haven't experienced any redness or peeling, which is rare for me with acne treatments. I’m going to bring this cream into my daily routine.
