Key Features and Benefits:
Acne-Fighting Salicylic Acid: The product's main active ingredient is Salicylic Acid, which is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA). Salicylic acid is a well-known acne treatment that helps to clear existing blemishes, blackheads, and whiteheads and prevent new breakouts from forming by exfoliating and unclogging pores.
Mattifying and Oil-Absorbing: It has a lightweight, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly into the skin. It is designed to control excess oil and shine, providing a matte finish for softer, smoother skin. This makes it an ideal moisturizer for individuals with oily skin.
Hydrates for 48 Hours: Despite its mattifying properties, the moisturizer provides long-lasting hydration for up to 48 hours. This is crucial for acne treatments, which can often be drying. The formula is designed to alleviate dryness and soothe the appearance of redness caused by acne.
Soothing Botanicals and Prebiotics: It is enriched with a blend of skin-nourishing botanicals and a prebiotic complex. This helps to soothe and calm the skin, and some of the botanicals, like bisabolol, kojic acid, and licorice root extract, also help to reduce the appearance of post-acne marks, improving overall skin tone and texture.
Dermatolgist-Tested and Gentle: Cetaphil is a brand trusted by dermatologists, and this product is clinically proven to be gentle on sensitive skin. It is:
Hypoallergenic
Fragrance-free
Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
Defends against the five signs of skin sensitivity: dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier.
