I'm not a Prime member so was looking at things to spend $10 on in order to spend >$59 for free delivery.

I checked my current S&S items and needed some of this, so ended up ordering 3 S&S.

I don't believe it's been this cheap for a while.

Good everyday moisturiser. I use this on my face so my wife can afford $125 bottle of facial product that comes in a 40ml tube.

    • That looks like a whole lot of chemicals…

      Anyone recommend something for the face? natural ideally, happy to fork out a little.

        • I've tried the CeraVe Moisturising Cream (thicker than lotion) but still prefer Cetaphil Moisturising Cream.

          CeraVe is about 3x the price too.

      • I was surprised when I tested it in the Yuka app it gives it a rating of 0/100 since it has BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) as an ingredient. It's listed on the back of the tub, but not in the written list.

        The Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion gets an excellent rating and has no bad ingredients.

        You can get 1L for $18 when it's on sale:
        https://www.amazon.com.au/Cetaphil-Non-Comedogenic-Fragrance…

        • it might be because it was used somewhere in the manufacturing chain, and there's a risk of some lingering. Or it might be in the lining of the packaging.

          • @lyl-Lychee: Here is the actual ingredient list after I checked Cetaphil's website:
            Aqua, Glycerin, Petrolatum, Dicaprylyl Ether, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Peg-30 Stearate, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Pantolactone, Dimethiconol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Carbomer, Propylene Glycol, Bht, Disodium Edta, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid. FIL.1765.V00

            BHT is commonly used in cosmetics so it's not that surprising.

            It's unknown how much risk it poses but it's a potential endocrine disruptor and it is very toxic to marine life.
            Based on current knowledge it's best avoided by children and pregnant women.

        • Apps like Yuka can extremely misleading because of the poor reference studies and not accounting for ppm. Yuka had me on a false 'natural' rabbit hole which I've recently crawled from by watching Lab Muffin. She has shed a lot of light what the chemicals are and the safety around them when used topically.

          • @rainbowunicorn: I agree, it is very oversimplified at best.
            Labelling an ingredient in a skincare product as just either “good” or “bad” doesn’t make any sense, you aren’t taking into account the method of use (topical) and not taking into account how much of it is present in the product.

      • If you really want fully nature derived, you can look into tallow and shea/cocoa butter based moisturisers. Just make sure there's enough preservatives to prevent mold growth and that hexane wasn't used in the extraction process. Can find on iherb.

        Or if you don't mind a bit of synthetic, Moogoo's face cream is highly plant based.

        That said, nearly all the synthetic ingredients used in skincare are proven absolutely safe and non-toxic. And many plant/animal sourced, especially essential oils, are proven irritants. Both (everything) are chemicals.

        • give me a scientific evidence that tallow had proven some sort of benefit on your skin. I'll wait
          infact its quite the opposite Is Beef Tallow Good For Your Skin?

          • @Abang Tukang Bakso: Dunno what you're getting at there but the comment I was replying to only specified a moisturiser. They didn't ask for added benefits like anti-aging or sun protection.

            As a moisturiser, i.e.: something that holds water in the stratum corneum, tallow is fine. The page you linked even says that.

            • @lyl-Lychee: It doesnt say that at all, it clearly read; "Those who’ve promoted it on social media seem to like it as a moisturizer because of its oil-like consistency. As with coconut oil, it MAY prevent water loss and soften dry skin".. key word MAY meaning its a speculation

              "Research has even shown that most of the claims made on social media about the benefits of beef tallow were made with a purpose of achieving some financial gain."

    • To be honest, I'm not sure what they mostly are but I do know that my daughter who has sensitive skin can use this without irritation, unlike some other moisturisers (which have been expensive).

      It doesn't irritate my skin or eyes and always feels like it is moisturising my skin.

      What do you suggest is a good moisturiser or what ingredients go into a good moisturisers?

      • I have to agree, I am an adult and prone to contact dermatitis, and this has been the best cream for me to use as a preventative, and to reduce the effects if I get it, helping me avoid using cortisone….

      • Lots of crackpots on Ozbargain when it comes to this stuff… This is a simple and well formulated moisturiser, plenty of dermatologists recommend Cetaphil.

    • What specific ingredient do you have problems with? It all seems fine to me and I line with other moisturisers

      • Probably lots of scary words

    • As someone who has spent a lot of time going through ingredient lists, that list isn't bad. They're all just basic, proven ingredients for rather non-offensive moisturiser, which is pretty much cetaphil's branding.

      Bulk of the work is done by the first few ingredients - water & glycerin, and the petrolatum seals it in.

      • Agreed, and most other brands contain much worse chemicals.

    • When I went to a dermatologist as a teenager 12 years ago they recommended cetaphil

    • You clearly have no knowledge in science to be handing out any advice on a list of ingredients.

      What is wrong with them?
      What is the concern and to which item specifically?

      This is a great lotion and should be applied to a semi dry damp skin right after a shower.

      Please keep your useless uneducated opinion to yourself.

      If anyone is reading this and has sensitive skin or a family member with sensitive skin, this is a great lotion.

    • Why?

      • I don’t know many words ending with aphile other than one. I presume thst is shy the name is unfortunate

        • Sounds like you both need to read more. And read properly while you’re at it ;-)

        • But Cetaphile is neither their product nor their brand?

          It's not even pronounced the same either.. its pronounced 'fil', so se-ta-fil

        • Also just to add.. that 'aphile' word you're thinking of doesn't even end in aphile either??

          Does either of you read.. or.. know words?!

  • 1.25L pump bottle is slightly cheaper per litre I believe at chemist warehouse

    • The pump I find is poorly designed. You end up with a lot wasted as it can’t be pumped out. Unless you cut it open.

      • I agree with this.

    • That's a different product. Lotion versus cream

    • Like comparing cream with milk.

  • "my wife can afford $125 bottle of facial product that comes in a 40ml tube."

    Before having a girlfriend I swear I never knew those tiny things cost an arm and a leg!

    • I probably punched above my weight with my wife so I’m willing to overlook these expenses lol

  • $24 at CW

  • cetaphil has to be the best product I've ever used

  • Showing as 18 for me. Expired?

    • Showing $18 for me as well

    • Yeah looks like it. I've marked it as expired.

      • I checked and scored it for $12.60 just now, thanks.

        • I’ve ‘unexpired’ the deal lol
