Exfoliation and care for sensitive skin from Cetaphil

Now in stock, you will find two products with an exfoliating effect that do not contain abrasives and are designed for sensitive skin.

Peelings remove dead skin cells and smooth the skin, which you can feel immediately after application. This can be achieved with classic pastes containing fine abrasive particles. These products therefore have a mechanical effect. Another way is to use (fruit) acids. The result is the same, the mode of action is just different. However, acid products can irritate sensitive skin too much. This should change with the two products from Cetaphil.

Triple acid complex at the heart

Cleansing: foaming gel for the first step

The «gently smoothing SA cleanser» is a fragrance-free, foaming gel. The product is designed to provide softer and visibly smoother skin from the very first application

In addition to the three acids, the gel contains niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, which is said to reduce redness. Panthenol can be found in skincare products because it soothes the skin and promotes its regeneration. It also contains glycerin, which has proven itself as a moisturiser in cosmetics.

The lotion: 48-hour moisturisation with an exfoliating effect

As a second step in the skincare routine, Cetaphil recommends using the «SA Lotion», which uses the same active ingredients in a different texture and is designed to leave the pores open. According to Cetaphil, the product moisturises for 48 hours and promotes skin renewal at the same time. The lotion is intended for the face and body.

Both products are explicitly aimed at people with sensitive skin who want to benefit from the advantages of chemical peels but are concerned about skin irritation.
