Try this if you have KP!
This does wonders for my keratosis pilaris on my arms. Not greasy. No scent. I exfoliate in the shower and then apply this right after, never had more clear skin in my life!

Great acne lotion for face and body
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know it's marketed for your body but it's the same formula as the SA lotion for face so you can use this on your face too. It works great for fighting acne with the acids, while being gentle and moisturizing enough for my sensitive skin. I have no complaints!

Lotion and scrub? It's a yes for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a moisturizing lotion, you can use it daily and it exfoliates your body gently, it is zero abrasive on your skin, so if you have sensitive skin this product could be the one for you. I like that it is a chemical exfoliant, which is much more effective and safer than those physical exfoliants. This acid contains glycolic which is very good for skin with excess impurities and oil.

So so good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These cetaphil products are absolutely amazing! I don’t think I knew they carried this wide a variety of products, but they all work together so so so well! I feel like there’s been an improvement in both mine, and my daughter’s skin!

Winter necessity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great lotion especially in the winter. This helps loosen dry skin, and adds moisture for the new layer! You get a ton of product in this bottle so the value is amazing!

Just OK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this because I love Cetaphil, but I wasn’t a huge fan of this lotion to me. It felt pretty greasy. I also received face lotion, body lotion, and they all had the exact same ingredients. It’s just in different size bottles so that seems kind of confusing. I used it for a while and I did not see any difference. Overall, it didn’t hurt. It was a good lotion and moisturized, but for me, it was not effective.

Great lotion for sensitive skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lightweight lotion gently exfoliates your skin and helps moisturize it. This lotion does not have a scent to it which is great for people with sensitive skin like myself, I didn’t see a immediate change to my skin , but after using it for a while I have noticed that my skin does look more hydrated.

Such a good brand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cetaphil has such a good product line that is good for your skin and without harmful ingredients. I would recommend this to anyone who is sensitive or struggling with tough skin issues. Their price point is reasonable for the quality of product you’re getting. There isn’t much smell and it goes on so nicely without a lot of grease. I definitely would buy again.

Scent free.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not that impressed, unfortunately. I am not confident to speak on the effectiveness because I experienced no positive or negative changes in my skin. After an hour of wearing lotion on my legs, I noticed a film/residue in streaks on my skin during summertime while in public. It's very embarrassing. This is strange because I thought I rubbed the product in quite well. Interesting. On the fence on this one.

Great but unscented
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for what it’s supposed to do but I did not enjoy the smell of these products. Maybe it might need a little fragrance or something because it smelled bad even with cologne
