Cetaphil Soothing Gel Cream with Aloe

Cetaphil’s Soothing Gel-Cream with Aloe has quickly become one of my favorite skincare products, especially for calming and hydrating sensitive or irritated skin. The lightweight gel-cream texture feels instantly refreshing, almost like a cool drink of water for the skin—and it absorbs fast without leaving any sticky or greasy residue behind. As someone with sensitive skin that’s often affected by hard water and weather changes, this product offers immediate relief from tightness, redness, and dryness. The aloe-infused formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic, making it gentle enough to use on my face and body, even right after shaving or a day in the sun. What I love most: Calms irritation and redness within minutes Leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated Works beautifully under makeup or layered over serums Safe for both adults and kids, even those with sensitive skin Pros: Lightweight gel-cream texture perfect for all seasons No fragrance, no parabens—clean and gentle formula Non-greasy and fast-absorbing Ideal for layering or using as a stand-alone hydrator Cons: May not provide enough moisture on its own for extremely dry skin types Bottom line: If you're looking for a non-irritating, calming moisturizer that hydrates and soothes without clogging pores or overwhelming your skin, Cetaphil’s Soothing Gel-Cream with Aloe is a must-try. It's especially helpful for post-sun exposure, minor skin flare-ups, or everyday hydration for sensitive skin.

Super hydrating, makes the skin feel soft and well taken care of. Great for sensitive skin and has a gel like light consistency that works well in summers too. The size runs through a whole season so you don’t need much and packaging is quite convenient

Husband loves this for diabetic skin

I live in Arizona, so as soon as you get out of the shower in the summer you start sweating. Usually, I use the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion (Dry to normal, sensitive skin), but during the summer it makes the sweating worse. So, I decided to try the Aloe Gel Cream. For summer, it has the perfect amount of moisture, and makes putting sunscreen on top of it easier. The biggest dislike I have(and why I took off a star) is how it feels for the first 30-45 minutes after application, if you don’t put sunscreen on right away. It is so sticky, I hate to put clothes on after. It gets better as the day goes on, but if I am not putting a sunscreen on right away, it’s not a good feeling. That being said, I will still continue to use this through the summer.

Been purchasing Cetaphil brand face products since I was a small girl. I am in my early sixties. I love, love, love this cream moisturizer. I have normal to dry skin now. My skin was oily growing up. I have never changed moisturizers. When you find a quality product that feels great on your skin- no matter the type- you stick with it. I like the thickness of the cream but would switch off between the lotion when I would get more breakouts in warmer months when I was younger. I live in the Deep South and am still happy with Cetaphil. I love the moisturizing facial cleanser, too. I buy the refill bags of it on Amazon to save on packaging. Better prices than Costco on Amazon @times. Know your prices and save some ca$h so you can save money.

I’m really impressed with this soothing gel-cream! The standout ingredient is 0.5% allantoin, which is a true powerhouse for irritated or sensitive skin. It works wonderfully on sunburns, allergic reactions, or any redness—super calming and soothing. Products this effective are not easy to find at such an affordable price, making this an excellent addition to any skincare routine. Highly recommend if your skin needs quick relief and gentle care!

I have very sensitive skin and have reactions to most gels and lotions. Cetaphil has always been one of my go-to brands. The products have never irritated my skin. For summer, I decided to try the Cetaphil Soothing Gel Cream. What a mistake! Yuck. The smell is fragrance free--NOT SMELL FREE. It has an unpleasant odor to me. The gel is tacky and sticky and makes getting dressed difficult, as no fabric can glide over the stickiness. I don't have the time--and especially the patience--to wait around for the gel to absorb into my skin. I will not be purchasing this gel product again. The gel did hydrate my skin and caused no irritation, so I gave it 3 stars. Love the Cetaphil brand. Dislike this product.

I have extremely dry skin. This was recommended by my dermatologist, and it works great!
