FAQs

Your skin may appear dry, dull, or flaky due to various factors, including natural skin changes over time and exposure to harsh weather conditions. Hydrating serums are designed to improve the appearance of dry skin by helping to lock in moisture in the outermost layer of your skin. Incorporating the Cetaphil Deep Hydration Range in your skincare routine can help relieve visible dryness and enhance your skin’s natural radiance.

At the heart of this range is the Cetaphil Deep Hydration 48 Hour Activation Serum - formulated especially for dehydrated skin. This creamy, lightweight serum nourishes your skin and replenishes its hydration for 48 hours, featuring Cetaphil’s innovative HydroSensitiv Complex™, enriched with the gentle blue daisy extract and hyaluronic acid. This serum is also rich in panthenol (vitamin B5), and tocopherol (vitamin E) which also help to hydrate your skin.

While they may seem similar, a hydration serum is different from a moisturizer and should be used alongside one for best results as a part of a skincare routine for dry and dehydrated skin.

When your skin is dry, flaky, and dehydrated, it could mean that the skin’s natural barrier is damaged, and it can use all the help it can get! While most skincare routines opt only for a moisturizer, skin that feels dehydrated may need more than just a moisturizer. This is why we have specially formulated the Cetaphil Deep Hydration 48 Hour Activation Serum as a part of the four-step Deep Hydration routine.

The serum is designed to help repair and replenish your skin’s natural moisture barrier with hyaluronic acid to lock-in moisture. You can also layer the Deep Hydration Serum with our intensely soothing Cetaphil Deep Hydration Healthy Glow Daily Cream to help improve the appearance of dry skin.

Yes, the Cetaphil Deep Hydration 48 Hour Activation Serum is water based. Its formulation is designed to provide deep hydration and support the skin’s moisture barrier. It contains glycerin, a water-soluble emollient that helps to smoothen and soften your skin by helping it retain moisture. With continued use, this serum helps visibly smoothing and softening your skin’s surface and leaves your skin with a radiant glow.

The Cetaphil Deep Hydration 48 Hour Activation Serum is formulated to be gentle on your sensitive skin. It is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic and suitable for use every morning and night after cleansing.

Reviews

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Hydrating but... All skincare products take time before you start to notice any changes. With that being said, I have been using this product daily over the course of about 3 weeks. I tried using it in the morning however with the hyaluronic acid and moisturizing ingredients in this product, it left my eyes feeling and looking a bit glossy. I switched to using it in my nightly skincare routine and I do like it better that way. I feel it has helped a bit with the dryness but I am personally looking for something a bit more in depth for the developing fine lines that come with the aging process. It is also unscented, which is great for those with sensitivities.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Had horrible allergic reaction As recommended by my dermatologist, I use Cetaphil lotion (both body lotion and facial) and it works great. Tried this eye serum and had a horrible reaction. My eyelids and along the sides of my nose/eyes and under my eyes all swelled up. I also had patchy rashes all around and terrible itching. It’s been three days since I tried it and my eyelids are still a mess and itchy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing I've been using this eye cream for about a week and I'm super impressed. I have severe eczema on my face, especially my eyelids which leave me with extremely dry, puffy, flaking eyelids. At first this cream burned when I applied it, but it wasn't awful and didn't last long especially compared to other creams and even prescriptions I've tried. Now after a week, the skin around my eyes is smooth and feels like normal, hydrated skin again! This cream has been a life saver for me. Cetaphil makes the best products for people like me who have dry, sensitive, eczema prone skin! Highly recommend this eye serum to anyone suffering from dry, flaky eyelids.
