Cetaphil Cracked Skin Repair Body Lotion 16 oz — Fragrance Free, Urea + Dimethicone for Very Dry, Sensitive Skin

This lotion combines a skin protectant (dimethicone) and moisturizing urea to support the skin’s barrier while drawing in and locking moisture. Designed for daily use, the formula is fragrance free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, created to soothe skin stressed by frequent washing or environmental dryness. Use it on hands, feet, knees, elbows and other areas prone to roughness, or pair with a richer balm for deeper cracks.

How does this lotion help dry, cracked skin?

The lotion uses dimethicone to form a breathable protective layer that reduces moisture loss while urea attracts and binds water to skin. Together these ingredients improve hydration quickly and support barrier recovery over repeated use. Results in softer, smoother skin are often seen within weeks when applied consistently.

• Dimethicone creates a protective, moisture-locking barrier
• Urea helps draw moisture into the skin for lasting hydration
• Formulation supports barrier integrity and reduces roughness

Is this safe for sensitive or reactive skin?

This fragrance-free lotion is formulated to minimize irritation: it’s hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and designed for sensitive skin types. The gentle formula avoids common irritants and is suitable for daily maintenance of delicate or frequently washed skin. Always patch-test if you have known severe sensitivities.

• No added fragrance to reduce irritation risk
• Hypoallergenic and dermatologically recommended for sensitive skin
• Non-comedogenic so pores are not blocked

How should I use it for best results on hands and feet?

Apply the lotion to clean, dry skin as often as needed—especially after washing hands or showering—focusing on areas that crack or feel tight. For very deep cracks, follow with a targeted balm at night or wear cotton gloves/socks to boost absorption. Regular use helps maintain softer skin and prevent recurrence of dryness.

• Use immediately after washing to lock in moisture
• Apply liberally to hands, feet, knees and elbows
• Combine with Cracked Skin Balm for severe or deep cracks

What distinguishes this from a general moisturizer?

Unlike everyday moisturizers, this lotion contains a skin protectant (dimethicone) plus urea, an effective humectant that actively pulls moisture into the skin. The combined approach both seals moisture in and replenishes water content, targeting the needs of cracked, very dry skin rather than just surface softness. It’s formulated to be gentle enough for repeated, daily use on sensitive areas.

• Two-pronged action: barrier protection plus moisture attraction
• Clinically tested ingredients aimed at repairing cracked skin
• Fragrance-free, gentle base for ongoing maintenance

Who is this for: Cetaphil Cracked Skin Repair Body Lotion is intended for people with very dry, rough or cracked skin who need daily hydration and barrier protection without added fragrance. It’s suited for those with sensitive skin, frequent hand washing, or areas that need regular moisture reinforcement. For deeper fissures or persistent severe cracking, use this lotion alongside a thicker repair balm as part of a targeted routine.
