Description
Wake up your skin with Cetaphil Skin Activator Hydrating and Firming Cream. As we get older, our skin ages like the rest of our body. Our skin cells become less active or ‘go to sleep’, slowing processes like surface cell turnover and barrier repair resulting in visible signs of aging like extreme dryness, loss of elasticity or firmness, uneven tone and texture, appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and increased skin fragility. Cetaphil’s anti-aging cream powered by Skin Activator technology is clinically proven to deliver AHA (Mandelic Acid) and encapsulated CICA (Centella Asiatica) deep into the surface skin layers to help activate cells that go to sleep as we age. AHA helps increase surface skin cell turnover to visibly reduce dull, uneven skin while CICA helps restore the skin's moisture barrier to visibly plump and firm skin. This skin restoring cream hydrates for 48 hours and helps repair the skin’s natural moisture barrier over time. 88% said skin looked less crepey in 2 days and 94% said skin looked firmer after just 1 month. Cetaphil firming skin cream is hypoallergenic, fragrance free, paraben free and gentle enough for twice daily use on thinning skin, fragile skin, sagging skin, loose skin, and sensitive skin. This anti-aging body cream for women and men was developed with dermatologists and previously only available from a health care professional. Bring the dermatologist office experience home with Skin Activator technology!

Thick but not greasy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream is excellent! It has no greasy feel to it and the thickness lets you know immediately that it will absorb into your skin very effectively. You get a very deep, moisturized feeling with this cream.

Lightweight but hydrating
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a lovely lightweight but hydrating cream. It’s nice and thick but doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on this skin and absorbs quickly. Very light scent that doesn’t interfere with any of my fragrances. Softens the skin, I’m not sure about the firming, but overall it’s a very nice cream.

Dependable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Cetaphil Hydrating & Firming Cream for a little while now, and overall it’s a solid addition to my routine. The texture is lightweight but still feels moisturizing, and it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy layer. I’ve noticed my skin looks a bit smoother and more plump in the mornings, which is a nice bonus. It’s not a dramatic, overnight transformation type of product, but it does what it promises: steady hydration and a gentle firming effect. If you want something simple, non-irritating, and dependable, this is a good option.

Healthy hydrated skin with every use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cetaphil Hydrating & Firming Cream is a powerhouse for dry crepey skin , with AHA and encapsulated CICA this cream sinks deep into your skins surface delivering intensely hydrated plump firmer skin. As the weather gets colder and your skin feels dryer this cream is a saving grace. The cream is thick and silky with no scent absorbing quickly and deeply leaving behind healthy hydrated skin with no greasy feeling or irritation. This cream is a must have for the cold winter.

Thick, rich cream
I have been using this firming cream for a month. I like the thick, rich feel of the cream, and I think consistent use will help firm the skin on my neck and jawline.

Works great on dry cracked skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. First of all, I love how thick this product is. When putting it on my dry skin, I can immediately feel this lotion absorbing into my skin. I also have areas around my nose that get dry and cracked. When this happens I take a little bit of this cream and apply it to those areas. It instantly gives me relief from those irritated areas. This is also a great product because it doesn’t leave behind a white residue, which is why I don’t mind putting it on visible areas such as my face.

Cetaphil for the win.
I live on the Jersey Shore and AS SOON as the slightest bit of cold weather comes, my skin starts to DRY out. Badly. The hydrating and firming cream is a DELIGHT to have though, for that EXACT reason. It TRULY helps the TERRIBLE cracked, dry, dandruff looking skin I get. Plus it's a hydrating AND firming cream, so what can get better than that?! I'll wait .... Exactly what I thought, nothing. 😂🤷🏻♀️ Cetaphil NEVER lets me down and I have no plans on giving it up. I'd recommend and I DO recommend this and ALL Cetaphil products to family and friends or anyone that's never tried or did and didn't get the result they were looking for. TRY AGAIN!! They have A PRODUCT that WILL help you!!! THANKS!!!!! (I Would LOVE nothing more than to win a year of this because times are rough, but I still NEED smooth, hydrated, lovely skin!!)

A product that works!
I did not think this would improve my dry creepy skin. Why you say?… because my mom always told me”you were born with dry skin.” It is true, I have always battled dry skin. Now as I enter my 60’s, creepy skin on my arms calves and chest have arrived! To my pleasant surprise this product has truly made a difference. I see visible changes in the dryness of these areas of skin and it has definitely improved the texture, creating nice smooth skin. I cannot thank you enough!

Don't forget about scalp care!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The third component of this wonderful new Hydrating and Firming line from Cetaphil comes in the form of a facial cream. The texture of this is perfect. It's a little thicker than the body lotion and a little thinner than the neck cream. I could go on about how well it works on my face, but I am not going to. Instead, I found it to be awesome for keeping my bald head firm and hydrated. When you make that choice to embrace your male pattern baldness and shave it, too often, men dont think about the importance of taking care of their scalp. I was absolutely amazed at how my skin felt post shave with just a little of this amazing product. It has cemented itself as a key ingredient in my routine!
