Indications 

Cetaphil moisturizing cream is a daily-use product that has undergone rigorous dermatological testing and has been clinically proven to provide intense and lasting 48 hours of hydration on sensitive skin. 

Cetaphil moisturizing cream contains a dermatologist-backed blend of ingredients to improve the resilience of sensitive skin. It is formulated to defend against five signs of skin sensitivity, including a weakened skin barrier, irritation, roughness, tightness, and dryness. 

Cetaphil moisturizing cream is classified as a water-soluble emollient that softens and smoothens skin. Emollients function by creating a protective, oily barrier on the skin’s surface, which effectively seals in hydration and helps maintain skin moisture levels over an extended period.
