How to use
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream is best used as part of your daily skincare routine. Gently massage the cream into your skin until it is fully absorbed. It will hydrate and nourish your whole body, since it is ideal for very dry areas of skin, especially on the hands, feet, elbows, and knees. So use Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream as often as needed, but at best every day, especially directly after your morning shower or evening bath to lock in hydration.
