Cetaphil, a dermatologically tested skincare brand for sensitive skin, is emphasising the science behind sensitive skin during its Sensitive Skin Awareness Month, reaffirming its ongoing dedication to supporting individuals with sensitive skin. With an estimated 70% of individuals worldwide who experience skin sensitivity1, it is crucial to understand the science behind the common concern and how to best manage it.
Sensitive skin can manifest in a variety of ways and can be caused by chemical irritants, environmental conditions, stress, hormonal shifts and diet and is defined by unpleasant sensations such as stinging and burning and can affect various parts of the body, including the face1.
To help individuals with sensitive skin better manage their concerns, Cetaphil offers a range of gentle and effective cleansers and moisturisers backed by scientific research and clinical studies. There are Cetaphil products that contain essential elements proven to strengthen skin barrier function. Key ingredients such as niacinamide (vitamin B3 – helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve tone and soothe skin), panthenol (pro-vitamin B5 – helps increase skin’s hydration and soothes skin sensitivity) and glycerin (hydrates the outer layer of the skin). Using this blend of science-backed ingredients, Cetaphil improves the overall quality of sensitive skin while relieving irritation and discomfort2.
“Cetaphil is proud to support Sensitive Skin Awareness Month and to shed light on the science behind this common skincare concern,” says Jenny Wright, Managing Director at Galderma Laboratories. “Our products are specifically formulated to address the 5 Signs of Skin Sensitivity, including dryness, irritation, roughness and weakened skin barrier. We believe that everyone deserves healthy skin, which is why we are committed to providing the best solutions for sensitive skin”.
Cetaphil encourages individuals with sensitive skin to speak with a healthcare professional to better understand their concerns and to explore skincare solutions that are gentle and backed by science.
