My skin is far from perfect! It isn’t the worst I’ve ever seen but it surely isn’t the best. For many years, I figured that the more money I spent on skin care products, the better my skin would look. I’ve learned that spending more money doesn’t mean I’ll be getting a better product, or that my skin will look better!

I was familiar with Cetaphil products and through the years, at various times for either myself or a family member, a doctor or dermatologist has recommended using Cetaphil® products but it was always something that I would use ’til whatever problem area was cleared up, and then I would go back to something else.

Due to my rosacea-prone skin, I’m under the regular care of a dermatologist. Several years ago, I visited her with a serious flareup and she gave me a bag of samples of Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser and Cetaphil® Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15, and recommended that I exclusively use both as part of my daily skin care regimen. I was a bit concerned because my skin is oily, but I was so pleased with both products and since that day, I’ve used both the Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser and the Cetaphil® Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15, even to the point that if I’m traveling and forget one of them, I buy more instead of using something else. Another good thing about Cetaphil products is that they’re so readily available. Almost all drug stores carry the full line, big box discount stores carry the full line, even some grocery stores carry Cetaphil products!

The Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser is creamy, feels more like a lotion than a cleanser, but is effective at removing makeup and the oils on my skin. My skin never feels overly dry after cleansing, but it feels clean. For anyone with oily skin, you know the importance of having your face feel clean. The Cetaphil® Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 is light, fragrance-free, easy to apply smoothly, doesn’t feel greasy and my makeup can be applied almost immediately after using the moisturizer.

Since I’m one who believes in keeping extras of the things I love, these two Cetaphil products are also found in my “stock up” supplies.

Cetaphil products are the only brand recommended by more than 90% of dermatologists across all four major categories: body cleansers/body washes, facial cleansers, general body moisturizers, and facial moisturizers, and Cetaphil products are the #1 pediatrician recommended brand of cleansers and moisturizers.

Here are a few questions for you! Please answer the questions in the comments section to be entered in a random drawing for a $100 Visa gift card!

I use both of these products year round. I do not notice a need for more or less moisturizer as the seasons change. Do you find that you need to use one product for summer and a different product for winter? Of all the skin care products you own, which one could you not live without?

Also, do you find that as you age, you have a need for a different product? Something with more moisturizing ability?
