Creamy texture without heaviness or greasiness
Does not sting on sensitive skin
Calms and soothes redness

What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

Redness reduction without irritation is the standout. This moisturizer earns praise for soothing inflamed skin without the stinging that often derails those with reactive skin, using redness-fighting actives (licorice root and caffeine that temporarily narrow blood vessels) alongside barrier repairers like niacinamide, ceramides, and glycerin to rebuild compromised skin. It delivers all this in a creamy, nourishing formula that does not feel heavy.

"The Cetaphil Redness Relieving Night Moisturizer is formulated especially for redness reactive skin that helps to reduce the appearance of redness, calm and soothe your skin but also help to support your skin barrier. I do love that it is a little bit more creamy and nourishing but again not greasy or heavy like your skin is suffocating. [...] I feel like this is one of the few, very few moisturizers when my skin was really sensitive that did not burn on my skin, and that is why I'm recommending it and why I've always recommended it to my patients and viewers. [...] It contains alenone licorice that's calming and soothing along with caffeine that can help to temporarily vasil constrict and reduce the appearance of redness, niacinamide that also supports your skin barrier but offers some hydration component helping to rebuild that skin barrier lipid along with panthenol, ceramides and glycerin. Just a whole list of wonderful ingredients that really help to work on repairing your skin barrier at night as you're sleeping."

"Another great option is Cetaphil's Redness Relieving Night Moisturizer, and they also make one for the daytime that has a little bit of sunscreen in it. That product also has niacinamide and licorice root."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
