Cetaphil Moisturising Cream-250Gm

Description

The Cetaphil Moisturising Cream, available in a 250gm jar, is a highly regarded and dermatologist-recommended product, specifically formulated for dry to very dry and sensitive skin. It’s known for its intense hydrating properties and gentle, non-irritating formula.

Product Overview:

Cetaphil Moisturising Cream is a rich, non-greasy cream designed to provide immediate and long-lasting relief from dryness. It works by binding water to the skin and preventing moisture loss, effectively restoring and strengthening the skin’s natural moisture barrier. This cream is part of the Cetaphil range, a brand widely recognized for its gentle and effective skincare solutions, especially for sensitive and compromised skin. The 250gm size is generous, making it suitable for consistent use on both the face and body.

Key Features and Ingredients:

Cetaphil Moisturising Cream’s efficacy comes from a well-balanced blend of humectants and emollients:

• Glycerin: A powerful humectant that draws moisture from the air and deeper layers of the skin, binding it to the skin’s surface for intense hydration.
• Petrolatum (Petroleum Jelly): A highly effective occlusive emollient. It forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, significantly reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and locking in moisture.
• Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil): A natural emollient rich in fatty acids and vitamins (like Vitamin E). It helps to soften, smooth, and nourish dry, irritated skin.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multi-beneficial ingredient that helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of redness and irritation.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Known for its hydrating, soothing, and skin barrier-preserving properties. It helps to keep the skin soft, smooth, and resilient.
• Dimethicone: A silicone-based emollient that provides a smooth, non-greasy feel and helps to form a protective barrier on the skin.
• Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental stressors.
• Cetyl Alcohol & Glyceryl Stearate: Fatty alcohols and emulsifiers that help give the cream its rich texture and aid in moisturizing.
• Hypoallergenic: Formulated to minimize the risk of allergic reactions.
• Non-Comedogenic: Does not clog pores, reducing the risk of breakouts.
• Fragrance-Free & Paraben-Free: Free from common irritants, making it highly suitable for sensitive skin.
• Dermatologist Tested and Clinically Proven: Backed by scientific research to be gentle and effective on sensitive skin.

Benefits:

• Intense and Long-Lasting Hydration: Clinically proven to provide 48 hours of hydration, immediately comforting very dry skin.
• Restores Skin Barrier: Helps to repair and strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier, improving its resilience against dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and environmental stressors.
• Relieves Dry Skin Conditions: Highly effective for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, winter itch, and general dryness, providing relief from flakiness, roughness, and discomfort.
• Softens and Smoothens Skin: Leaves the skin feeling exceptionally soft, smooth, and supple.
• Non-Irritating Formula: Its gentle, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic formulation makes it suitable for even the most sensitive and compromised skin, including that of babies.
• Versatile Use: Can be applied liberally to the face, hands, feet, elbows, knees, and any other dry areas of the body.
• Dermatologist Recommended: Trusted and widely recommended by dermatologists for its effectiveness and gentle nature.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse Skin: For best results, apply to clean skin. It’s often recommended to apply it after showering or bathing while the skin is still slightly damp, to lock in moisture.
2. Dispense Liberally: Take a generous amount of cream onto your fingertips. The amount needed will vary depending on the size of the area being treated and the degree of dryness.
3. Apply and Massage: Gently apply the cream to the desired areas of your face and/or body. Massage it gently and evenly into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
4. Frequency: Apply as often as needed, or as directed by your physician. For very dry skin, daily application (often twice a day, morning and evening) is recommended for optimal results.

Prescriptions/Precautions:

Cetaphil Moisturising Cream is an over-the-counter product and does not require a medical prescription. However, it’s often recommended by dermatologists, especially for specific skin conditions.

• External Use Only: This product is for topical application on the skin only. Do not ingest.
• Avoid Eye Contact: Be careful to avoid direct contact with eyes. If the cream accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them immediately and thoroughly with plenty of clean water. If irritation persists, consult a medical professional.
• Patch Test: While Cetaphil is formulated for sensitive skin, if you have extremely sensitive skin or a known allergy to any of its ingredients, it’s advisable to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of your skin (e.g., inner forearm) 24 hours before full application to check for any adverse reactions.
• Discontinue if Irritation Occurs: If you experience any redness, itching, burning, stinging, rash, or any other signs of an allergic reaction or persistent irritation, discontinue use immediately. If symptoms are severe or do not resolve, consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional.
• Avoid Broken or Severely Irritated Skin: Do not apply the cream to open wounds, cuts, or severely irritated or broken skin, unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
• Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the lid tightly closed after use. Keep out of reach of children.
• Individual Results: The effectiveness and speed of results can vary depending on individual skin type, consistency of use, and the severity of the skin condition
