I’m disappointed in this product. Is it just me or does this product make dry skin even worse?. I’ve used this product on and off and thought it was great until I noticed that my skin started to get even more dry and flaky. It stopped working on my skin as my skin felt more tight and it left an artificial sheen on my body. Within hours of applying the cream I’ve noticed that my skin was flaking and turning white. Hmmm I don’t understand why so much people rate this product because supposedly it prevents stretch marks (wasn’t the case for me as I have stretch marks on my legs) and keeps your skin soft (can be debatable as lately my skin is very dry from its use) and keeps a youthful appearance (my skin now looks dull, plastic-ey and dry). My skin is not the same as it used to be and I’m now trying to recover from this product.

I live in Colorado and in the winter time the climate gets so dry. I like using Cetaphil moisturizing after each shower/bath and use on hands when needed. Try it, you may like it!

Thanks I'm going to definitely check it out :c)
I'll add a review on the product as well.

Please try a natural cream with Jojoba. If you don't find it in cosmetic stores, you may like Neutrogena.

Unfortunately I cannot find the brand Cetaphill in Europe... Its a shame because I went on the main websites and the products seem really good. I had a look at the ingredients they use too. Does anyone know if there is a website that delivers to mainland Europe. Especially UK or Belgium?
