Cetaphil Deep Hydration Water Gel Face Moisturizer — 1.7 oz | Lightweight, Oil‑Free Cooling Hydration for Dry, Sensitive Skin

Cetaphil Deep Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel is a lightweight, oil‑free face moisturizer that delivers quick cooling hydration and helps maintain skin moisture for up to 72 hours.

This water gel is formulated for dehydrated and sensitive skin that needs fast relief without heavy oils or fragrances. It uses a slow‑release hydration system combining hyaluronic acid with polyglutamic acid to supply immediate moisture and prolong water retention. The formula is free of fragrance and dyes and includes the HydroSensitiv Complex™ to support skin comfort while reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier over time.

How quickly will I feel hydration after applying this gel?

You should notice a cooling, refreshed sensation immediately upon application and a boost in surface hydration right away. The formulation is designed to bind and hold water in the skin, giving visible smoothing benefits after the first use.

• Instant cooling gel texture absorbs quickly without leaving residue.
• Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture to the skin surface for immediate plumping.
• Polyglutamic acid extends hydration time for prolonged effects.

Will this help if I have sensitive or easily irritated skin?

The product is developed to be gentle: it’s oil‑free, fragrance‑free and dye‑free to minimize common irritants. The HydroSensitiv Complex™ helps soothe sensations associated with dehydration while maintaining the skin’s barrier function with continued use.

• Formulated without fragrances or dyes to reduce potential irritation.
• Lightweight, non‑comedogenic feel suitable under makeup or sunscreen.
• Supports barrier strength to reduce dryness, roughness and tightness.

How long does the hydration actually last, and what technology makes that possible?

This water gel is clinically shown to sustain increased skin water content for up to 72 hours after application. That extended effect comes from a slow‑release pairing: hyaluronic acid for immediate moisture attraction and polyglutamic acid to help retain and slow the loss of that moisture over time.

• Slow‑release technology combines two humectants for immediate and lasting hydration.
• Clinical testing indicates improved moisture retention up to 72 hours.
• Regular use can improve skin texture and resilience by supporting the moisture barrier.

How should I use this gel in my skincare routine?

Apply the water gel to clean, dry skin once or twice daily, morning and/or night, depending on your needs. It layers well under sunscreen and makeup thanks to its fast‑absorbing, non‑oily texture.

• Use after cleansing and any lightweight serums for best results.
• Gently smooth a pea‑sized amount over face and neck until absorbed.
• Reapply as needed to particularly dry areas or after environmental exposure.

Who is this for: Cetaphil Deep Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel is suited for people with dehydrated, sensitive or combination skin who want a fast, cooling moisturizer that supports skin comfort without heavy oils or fragrances. It’s appropriate for daily use by anyone seeking immediate relief from dryness and a lightweight product that reinforces hydration and barrier quality over time.
