FEATURES

 

Wake up your skin with Cetaphil Skin Activator Hydrating and Firming Cream. As we get older, our skin ages like the rest of our body. Our skin cells become less active or ‘go to sleep’, slowing processes like surface cell turnover and barrier repair resulting in visible signs of aging like extreme dryness, loss of elasticity or firmness, uneven tone and texture, appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and increased skin fragility. Cetaphil’s anti-aging cream powered by Skin Activator technology is clinically proven to deliver AHA (Mandelic Acid) and encapsulated CICA (Centella Asiatica) deep into the surface skin layers to help activate cells that go to sleep as we age. AHA helps increase surface skin cell turnover to visibly reduce dull, uneven skin while CICA helps restore the skin's moisture barrier to visibly plump and firm skin. This skin restoring cream hydrates for 48 hours and helps repair the skin’s natural moisture barrier over time. 88% said skin looked less crepey in 2 days and 94% said skin looked firmer after just 1 month. Cetaphil firming skin cream is hypoallergenic, fragrance free, paraben free and gentle enough for twice daily use on thinning skin, fragile skin, sagging skin, loose skin, and sensitive skin. This anti-aging body cream for women and men was developed with dermatologists and previously only available from a health care professional.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Deeply hydrating, and i feel moisturized for a long time! Cetaphil's Hydrating & Firming Cream was surprising to me. I didn't expect the moisturizing effect to be so long lasting, but also light and non-greasy. I love the fragrance free aspects because I keep a nice moisturizer on my kitchen counter for guests, and so many people are fragrance sensitive these days. Cetaphil is a great option! I ended up using this moisturizer on my face a few times! I had long work days and washed my face at the end of the day. I was so dry. It was great! No pore clogging, and I woke up with glowing skin! The only reason I didn't give five stars is that I'm not sure that it's firming. I will keep buying it anyway!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The cream is a great hydrating product. It's an amazing product from the Cetaphil brand and suitable for sensitive skin. It absorbed easily, fast leaving skin moist and feeling non-greasy and non-oily even though it has a cream texture. I use it right after taking a warm bath for the best absorption. The cream doesn't cause any irritation or redness, is gentle, and has no smell at all, good for my sensitive nose. My skin feels moist and looks glowing. I already tried it for almost 3 weeks, still don't see any skin tightening and firming yet but will keep using it for hydrating purposes. So far so good. I recommend it for anyone who doesn't like fragrance cosmetics and sensitive skin.
