Cetaphil Deep Hydration Water Gel Face Moisturizer, 1.7 oz — Fragrance-Free, 72‑Hour Hydration with Hyaluronic & Polyglutamic Acid

Cetaphil Deep Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel is a lightweight, oil-free gel moisturizer that immediately boosts skin hydration and helps maintain moisture for up to 72 hours.

This cooling water-gel is formulated for dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin. It uses a slow-release pairing of hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid with Cetaphil’s HydroSensitiv Complex™ to deliver fast relief from tightness and roughness while supporting a healthy moisture barrier over time. The fragrance-free, dye-free formula is designed to feel weightless and soothing on contact, making it easy to layer under sunscreen or makeup.

How quickly will I notice improved hydration?

Most users report an immediate increase in skin moisture on first application thanks to the water-gel texture and humectant ingredients. Hydration continues to be delivered gradually for up to 72 hours after use, reducing visible dryness and roughness.

• Instant cooling sensation on contact
• Instant boost in skin’s water content
• Slow-release hydration lasting up to 72 hours

What are the key ingredients and how do they work?

The formula combines hyaluronic acid, which attracts and holds moisture, with polyglutamic acid that helps prolong hydration on the skin surface. HydroSensitiv Complex™ helps soothe sensitivity while supporting overall skin comfort.

• Hyaluronic acid: draws moisture into the skin
• Polyglutamic acid: extends and seals hydration
• HydroSensitiv Complex™: calms and supports sensitive skin

Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes — the oil-free, fragrance-free and dye-free formulation is designed to be gentle on sensitive and dehydrated skin types. Because it’s lightweight and non-comedogenic, it can be used by those concerned about pore-clogging or excess oil.

• Oil-free texture reduces shine and congestion risk
• Fragrance- and dye-free to minimize irritation
• Non-greasy finish works well under makeup

How should I use it in my daily routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin morning and evening. A small pea-sized amount spreads easily; follow with sunscreen during daytime use. It can also be layered with heavier creams if extra nourishment is needed.

• Use after cleansing and any serums
• Suitable as a day or night moisturizer
• Works under sunscreen and makeup without pilling

Who this product is for: Cetaphil Deep Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel is best for people with dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin who want a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that delivers immediate cooling relief and sustained 72-hour hydration.
