Cetaphil Intensive Moisture Cream 85g

Product Description

Cetaphil Intensive Moisturising Cream

Dry skin conditions are caused by a lack of moisture in the skin’s outer layer. This lack of moisture is due to the “protective barrier” being compromised (see diagram 1), allowing moisture to escape. In normal skin, (see diagram 2), the barrier function is intact and unbroken, thereby retaining moisture and keeping skin soft and supple.
 
Cetaphil Intensive Moisturiser with shea butter helps restore this protective barrier and locks in moisture. It is absorbed easily and does not leave a greasy residue.
 
Shea Butter is a natural ingredient from the Karite tree of Africa, known for its pleasant moisturising properties.
Suitable for: Very dry hands, feet, elbows and knees.
To achieve and maintain healthy skin
Follow the Cetaphil 3 Step Regimen, including cleansing, moisturising and protecting skin from harmful UV exposure. These simple steps are an important part of caring for your skin.
Step 1: Cleanse gently
Before applying moisturiser, use a mild, soap-free, fragrance free, low irritant cleanser.
If you are also using topical medication to treat your skin, mild cleansing can help prepare skin for absorption of topical medication.

Step 2: Moisturise intensely
Moisturising helps restore the skins natural protective barrier.
Use a non-greasy, fragrance free, non-comedogenic moisturiser to hydrate and soften your skin.
Moisturising can also assist with absorption of topical medications.
Step 3: Protect daily
It’s important to protect skin from everyday UV exposure.
Use a fragrance free, hypo-allergenic, broad spectrum, SPF 50+ moisturiser.
Always read the label. Use only as directed.
