Lubriderm vs Cetaphil: Daily Moisture vs Moisturizing Lotion

Lubriderm Daily Moisture and Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion are both everyday lotions for normal to dry skin, so on paper they look like close substitutes. The ingredient lists tell a different story: Lubriderm's is built on mineral oil and shea butter and includes fragrance, while Cetaphil's leaves fragrance out and leans on niacinamide and panthenol.

Its ingredient list starts with water, mineral oil and glycerin, and it also includes shea butter, oat kernel oil and fragrance. Lubriderm says it is suitable for body and face and won't clog pores. The directions: smooth on face, hands and body every day.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

Cetaphil's lotion highlights niacinamide (vitamin B3), panthenol (vitamin B5) and glycerin. Its ingredient list also has avocado oil and sunflower seed oil, and there's no mineral oil or fragrance in it. Cetaphil claims 48-hour hydration, calls it hypoallergenic and says it has the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance.

So which one?

If fragrance matters to you the choice is easy, because only the Cetaphil lotion is fragrance-free. Lubriderm comes in three sizes on its own site and says it can go on your face too. Past that, the brands publish no head-to-head data, so the honest comparison is the ingredient lists above. You can paste either one into our pore-clogging ingredient checker.
