Cetaphil Intensive Healing Lotion 16 oz - Ceramides & Sunflower Oil for Very Dry, Sensitive Skin, 24-Hour Hydration

Cetaphil Intensive Healing Lotion is a dermatologist-tested, fragrance- and paraben-free body lotion formulated with ceramides, sunflower seed oil, amino acids and allantoin to hydrate and smooth very dry, flaky skin for up to 24 hours.

When skin is rough, dehydrated or flaky, it needs targeted nourishment and barrier support rather than heavy fragrances or irritants. This 16-ounce Cetaphil Intensive Healing Lotion combines barrier-repair ingredients and skin-softening oils in a non-greasy, non-comedogenic formula designed for sensitive skin. Easy to apply and intended for daily use, the lotion aims to restore moisture balance and leave skin feeling smoother, without clogging pores.

How does this lotion help restore very dry and flaky skin?

The formula focuses on replenishing lipids and attracting moisture to the skin surface so it stays hydrated longer. Ceramides work to rebuild the skin’s protective layer while humectants and soothing agents draw in and retain water for softer texture.

• Ceramides: support the skin’s natural barrier and reduce trans-epidermal water loss.
• Sunflower seed oil: supplies essential fatty acids to smooth rough patches.
• Amino acids and allantoin: help pull in moisture and calm dry, flaky areas.
• Non-greasy finish: absorbs quickly for comfortable, everyday wear.

Will this lotion irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin?

This formulation is crafted to minimize irritation and avoid pore blockage, making it suitable for many who are sensitive to fragrances or common preservatives. It has been dermatologically tested and excludes fragrances, parabens and gluten to reduce triggers.

• Fragrance-free and paraben-free to lower irritation risk.
• Non-comedogenic so it won’t clog pores or contribute to breakouts.
• Designed for sensitive skin and tested by dermatologists.
• Lightweight texture helps avoid a heavy, greasy feel on application.

How long does hydration last and how should I use it?

The lotion is formulated to provide up to 24 hours of hydration when applied to clean, dry skin, making it practical for daily routines. For best results, apply generously to affected areas and reapply as needed after washing or exposure to drying conditions.

• Apply once daily to maintain hydration; reapply after bathing or handwashing.
• Use on the body and targeted dry patches such as elbows, knees and shins.
• Regular use supports repair of rough, flaky skin over time.
• 16 oz size is convenient for home use and long-term care.

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

The lotion blends barrier-repair lipids with emollients and humectants to moisturize, soften and protect dry skin. Each ingredient is chosen to play a specific role in improving texture and comfort without unnecessary additives.

• Ceramides: help rebuild and maintain the skin’s protective lipid layer.
• Sunflower seed oil: provides fatty acids that moisturize and smooth roughness.
• Amino acids: attract and hold moisture at the skin surface.
• Allantoin: soothes and supports healthy-looking skin texture.

Who is this for? If you have persistently dry, rough or flaky skin and prefer a gentle, fragrance-free lotion that emphasizes barrier repair, this Cetaphil Intensive Healing Lotion is formulated for you. It suits adults and families looking for a daily, non-greasy moisturizer that’s dermatologist tested and free of parabens and gluten. Choose this 16 oz bottle for at-home maintenance of dry patches, as part of a sensitive-skin skincare routine, or whenever lasting hydration and barrier support are priorities.
