Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream doesn’t come with an expiry date. Like many other Cetaphil products, it is formulated to be shelf-stable, which means that it can last for years provided it is not exposed to extreme temperatures. However, once opened, it’s best to use it within two years. By using it within this time, you make sure that all ingredients will be of optimal effectiveness and safety.

A single application of Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream can provide long-lasting hydration and prevent moisture loss for up to 48 hours.

However, the duration for which Cetaphil moisturizing cream lasts depends on several factors, such as the frequency and amount you apply to your skin, your skin type, and your environmental conditions.
