Cetaphil Optimal Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel 10g

This gel is best suited for people with dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin who want a lightweight moisturizer. It is especially useful when skin feels tight, rough, or uncomfortable after cleansing or exposure to dry weather. If you have very oily or acne-prone skin, patch testing is still advisable before regular use.

Yes, this gel can be used as a hydrating base before sunscreen or makeup. Apply it after cleansing and allow it to fully absorb before layering other products. Its lightweight texture is designed to sit comfortably under daytime routines without a heavy or greasy feel. If pilling occurs, reduce the amount used and wait longer before layering.

Avoid use on broken, actively irritated, or infected skin unless directed by a dermatologist. If redness, stinging, itching, or worsening dryness occurs, stop use and reassess tolerance. Keep the product away from the eyes and rinse well if contact happens. For persistent eczema, severe sensitivity, or ongoing dryness, professional skin evaluation is recommended.
