Two new dermatologist-tested serums, Cetaphil’s Vitamin C and Ceramide Serums, provide multipurpose benefits while being gentle enough for sensitive skin
DALLAS, July 09, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Galderma announced today the exclusive launch in the U.S. of its latest innovations in its Cetaphil range of products: a Vitamin C Serum and a Ceramide Serum.
In a clinical study, 95% of participants agreed the Cetaphil Vitamin C Serum continuously brightened the appearance of skin over time, 93% agreed it revealed a healthy glow day after day and 86% agreed it effectively reduced the appearance of dark spots. In another clinical study, 100% of participants agreed that the Cetaphil Ceramide Serum soothed sensitive skin and visibly improved skin texture after four weeks.
Serums have grown in popularity to rank as the preferred treatment option, making up a 33% share of facial skincare in the treatment category.1 They are praised by users as the most effective part of their skincare routine. However, a considerable part of the population still avoids using serums due to concerns around possible skin irritation.2 Galderma’s unique expertise in delivering solutions for sensitive skin, backed by Cetaphil’s heritage of more than 75 years, combined to produce these latest innovations in this sensitive skincare range.
Cetaphil Vitamin C and Ceramide Serums provide clinically proven results while targeting the skin’s moisture barrier, a frequent point of concern for people with sensitive skin. According to Spate’s 2024 Predicted Trends Report,3 skin barrier care is predicted to be one of the top skincare trends of the year. Galderma formulates its products with dermatologist-backed ingredients proven to help strengthen skin barrier function and defend against five signs of skin sensitivity: weakened skin barrier, dryness, irritation, roughness and tightness.
"we are delighted to bring this latest innovation to the U.S. market, highlighting Cetaphil’s commitment to serve the unique needs of people with sensitive skin. Our Cetaphil Vitamin C and Ceramide Serums were developed in the knowledge that while consumer demand for serums is increasing, there are still many people with sensitive skin who avoid serums altogether out of concern about possible skin irritation. Our new serums were formulated specifically to address this need: they support the skin barrier and deliver sustained, long-term benefits, while enhancing skin resilience over time and being gentle on the skin."

CETAPHIL VITAMIN C SERUM
Vitamin C formulas are known for their brightening, antioxidant capabilities, but irritation is a common concern for sensitive skin consumers. Cetaphil’s Vitamin C Serum is formulated with 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid. This is a stable Vitamin C derivative that helps visibly reduce dark spots and defend against surface free radicals, while being gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin.
Seven unique benefits: hydration, antioxidant protection, visibly evened tone and texture, boosted luminosity and visibly reduced dark spots and fine lines.
Combined with niacinamide to visibly brighten and even tone.
CETAPHIL CERAMIDE SERUM
Sensitive skin consumers are more prone to experiencing a damaged skin barrier. Cetaphil’s Ceramide Serum is a specifically formulated solution containing multiple key ingredients designed to support skin-barrier repair while soothing discomfort and reducing the appearance of redness. Cetaphil’s Ceramide Serum not only repairs the damaged skin barrier but helps to strengthen it over time.
Restorative formula clinically proven to lock in moisture for 48-hour hydration, leaving skin looking and feeling smooth, soft and hydrated.
Formulated with a blend of ceramide, centella asiatica and allantoin.
