Cetaphil Deep Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel Face Moisturizer, 1.7 oz Fragrance-Free — Hyaluronic & 72H Hydration

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

This cooling water-gel moisturizer pairs hyaluronic acid with polyglutamic acid and Cetaphil’s HydroSensitiv Complex™ to deliver immediate moisture and a slow-release hydration reserve. The fragrance-free, dye-free and oil-free formula is created for sensitive, dry or dehydrated skin, aiming to soothe sensations of tightness and roughness while supporting the skin’s moisture barrier over time.

How does this water gel hydrate skin throughout the day?

The formula uses a combination of fast-acting and slow-release humectants to draw water into the skin and hold it there. Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture immediately, while polyglutamic acid helps retain and slowly release hydration, extending the moisturized feel for days after application.

• Hyaluronic acid for immediate moisture attraction
• Polyglutamic acid for prolonged hydration retention
• Slow-release technology to support up to 72 hours of hydration

Will this gel work for sensitive or easily irritated skin?

Yes — the formulation is fragrance-free, dye-free, and oil-free, reducing common irritants for sensitive complexions. HydroSensitiv Complex™ is included to calm and support skin that reacts to dryness, helping restore comfort without added fragrances or harsh additives.

• Fragrance- and dye-free to minimize irritation risk
• Non-comedogenic, oil-free texture that won’t clog pores
• HydroSensitiv Complex™ to help soothe sensitivity from dehydration

How should I incorporate this moisturizer into my routine?

Apply the gel to clean, dry skin after cleansing and any serums—use morning and/or evening as needed. Because it’s lightweight and absorbs quickly, it layers well under sunscreen and makeup or can be used alone for a refreshing, no-weight finish.

• Use after cleansing and targeted treatments like serums
• Works well under sunscreen or makeup due to fast absorption
• Suitable for day and night use to maintain hydration levels

What immediate benefits can I expect after using it?

Right after application, skin typically feels cooler, smoother and more comfortable as the gel replenishes moisture. Over repeated use the product aims to improve the skin’s moisture barrier, reducing sensations of dryness, tightness and rough texture caused by dehydration.

• Instant cooling sensation and smoother skin surface
• Reduced tightness and roughness from dehydration
• Support for a stronger moisture barrier with ongoing use

Who is this for: Cetaphil Deep Hydration Skin Restoring Water Gel is intended for people with dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin who want a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer. It works well for those who prefer fragrance-free skincare, need an option that layers under makeup or sunscreen, and anyone seeking a gel texture that provides immediate relief from dehydration while supporting longer-lasting moisture.
