In Canada, Cetaphil products are not tested on animals.

Ingredients in our Cetaphil products are not recognized gluten sources; however, Galderma does not test for trace amounts of gluten that may be present in the ingredients or as a result of the manufacturing process. Additionally, ingredient suppliers may change. If you are a celiac disease patient, you may want to consult your healthcare provider before using Cetaphil.

The majority of ingredients used in our Cetaphil products are from non-animal sources, with the exception of a few (example: sodium tallowate).

If you have further questions over the origin of any Cetaphil ingredients, please contact us to learn more.

As Cetaphil^® products have not been clinically tested specifically on pregnant women, please speak to your healthcare professional about whether or not you should use any Cetaphil product during pregnancy.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream contains almond oil and Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion and Cetaphil DailyAdvance Hydrating Lotion contain macadamia nut oil. We use this oil because it closely mimics some of the oils found in your skin. Please note that our oil is heat-shocked to remove proteins, which are the oil fractions responsible for allergy. That being said, we realize the severity of nut allergies and leave the decision to you and your physician as to whether these products are suitable for you.

Soaps can be irritating to sensitive skin since they are alkaline (basic or have a high pH) and can leave a film on the skin. Non-soap bars are pH-balanced (neutral pH) and do not form films, even in hard water. So, essentially, a non-soap bar is milder.

Non-comedogenic means the product does not clog pores.

Alcohols can be skin irritants, but only the “drying” alcohols (the most common ones are ethyl alcohol and isopropyl or rubbing alcohol). Cetaphil products contain none of these irritating or drying alcohols. The alcohols in Cetaphil are much larger molecules than the typical “drying” alcohols. Thus, the ingredients we use, such as cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol, tend to trap water and are moisturizing – not drying. These ingredients are part of the reason why Cetaphil is such a gentle cleanser.

It is a powerful moisturizing agent and an essential component of skin, known for its ability to retain up to 1000x its weight in water. It offers a powerful moisturizing compound ideal for normal to dry skin.

Cetaphil Cleansing Cloths provide the same gentle cleansing as our liquid skin cleanser but in a convenient new cloth format. They’re great for travel or when you’re on the go!

No. Our bar was formulated to be mild but is not as mild as the liquid cleanser.

They are similar formulation, however, due to the format differences—liquid vs. cloth—additional ingredients have been added to maintain the moisture content of the cloth.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths are not formulated with antibacterial ingredients.

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths are not recyclable or biodegradable and should only be disposed of in the trash.

The Cleansing Cloths are Ophthalmologist tested and should not irritate the eyes.

Yes. A comedogenic-potential clinical study was conducted on human subjects and the findings indicated that the Cleansing Cloths are non-comedogenic.

The Cleansing Cloths can be used on all sensitive skin types.

Yes, the Cleansing Cloths are fragrance-free.

Cetaphil PRO RESTORADERM is considered a "hybrid" as it offers the best of both worlds; it has the moisturizing properties of a cream, but its thickness allows it to be dispensed through a pump; thus, classifying it as a lotion.

• Lotion spreads easily on the skin, decreasing unnecessary friction
• Absorbs easily

Yes, Cetaphil PRO RESTORADERM is clinically proven to be safe for use on infant and toddler skin from 6 months of age.

Emollient-rich formulations and innovative technologies attract water to the skin, while nourishing and protecting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

• Miracare technology produces a soap-free liquid cleanser that encapsulates high levels of moisturizing oils to cleanse and hydrate dry skin.
• Patented ceramide technology helps replenish the skin’s natural oils to improve its ability to retain moisture.

Apart from having a higher SPF, Cetaphil PRO DERMACONTROL offers advanced technology specific for the needs of oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin.

While Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 remains an ideal daily moisturizer for people with normal skin, oily skin types will receive additional benefits from the use of Cetaphil PRO DERMACONTROL Moisturizer SPF 30.

While both function excellently as “stand alone” products, use of the combination will help ensure consistent outcomes. The combination of products is easy to include into a daily routine, making an ideal skin care regimen that can help relieve skin dryness, irritation, and problems frequently encountered by acne patients. Cetaphil PRO DERMACONTROL products are specifically designed to be well-tolerated for acne prone skin. Both products are designed to control oil and replenish the skin’s moisture barrier. So, by using both products, you will ensure that benefits achieved with one are maintained by use of the other.

The product is a lightweight lotion that absorbs easily into the skin, leaving no residue on the skin’s surface. Mattifying ingredients, such as polymethyl methacrylate and aluminium starch octenylsuccinate, create a no-shine, matte appearance of the skin.

Cetaphil PRO DERMACONTROL wash has a masking fragrance listed in the ingredients. A masking fragrance is one that does not stay on the skin. Once water is used to remove the product from the skin, the fragrance also leaves the skin. It is utilized to cover up the natural smell of the ingredients in many products.

Yes, Cetaphil PRO DERMACONTROL Oil Control Wash and Moisturizer SPF 30 are both water-based products, formulated with purified water.

No. These ingredients are used worldwide in skin care products for males as well as females. In clinical tests carried out by Cetaphil, both subjects found the product cosmetically acceptable. The majority (>90%) liked the texture, feel, and colour of the product and nearly 80% commented that use of the moisturizer helped their face look and feel less greasy. Plus, year-round protection from UV rays is recommended for everyone, making the SPF formulation ideal for women and men alike.

While both products have good cleansing properties, Cetaphil PRO DERMACONTROL offers a novel, oil-absorbing zinc complex for:

• Deep-pore cleansing
• Significantly reduced surface oil levels
• Hydrating cleanse
• Soft matte finish
