Cetaphil Advanced Defence AM Face Serum for Sensitive Skin — 1 fl oz, Gallic Acid + Vitamin E, Triple Hyaluronic Hydration

CETAPHIL Advanced Defence Serum is a lightweight morning antioxidant serum that helps strengthen sensitive skin against daily stressors while hydrating and refining texture.

Formulated for delicate skin types, this AM serum combines an antioxidant pair—gallic acid plus vitamin E—with triple-weight hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to support skin resilience, smoothness, and radiance without fragrance or pore-clogging ingredients. It’s designed to be gentle, hypoallergenic and suitable for everyday use under sunscreen and makeup.

How does this serum defend skin from everyday stress?

The serum delivers a targeted antioxidant complex that helps neutralize oxidative stress from pollution and UV exposure, supporting the skin’s natural repair processes. Regular morning use helps skin look less reactive and fatigued over time.

• Gallic‑AOX: Gallic acid plus vitamin E to reduce oxidative burden
• Lightweight formula absorbs quickly for AM protection
• Non-comedogenic so it won’t block pores under other products

Will this hydrate my skin without feeling heavy?

Yes — Triple Hyaluronic Acid delivers hydration at multiple skin layers, smoothing texture while maintaining a breathable finish. The serum layers easily with moisturizers and sunscreens for a comfortable daytime routine.

• Three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid for surface and deeper hydration
• Silky, non-greasy absorption ideal for combination to dry sensitive skin
• Leaves skin prepped for makeup application

Can it improve pores, tone and overall radiance?

Niacinamide in the formula helps refine the look of pores and supports a more even, luminous appearance over continued use. Clinical in-use results show measurable improvement in visible skin quality when paired with a complementary evening serum as part of a routine.

• Niacinamide helps minimize pore appearance and boost clarity
• Antioxidants and hydration combine to reduce dullness
• Suitable for daily use to support gradual, visible improvement

Is this safe for sensitive or reactive skin types?

The serum is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and formulated to be non-comedogenic, making it appropriate for many sensitive skin types. Patch testing is recommended for very reactive skin, but the product is dermatologist recommended.

• Fragrance‑free and hypoallergenic for reduced irritation risk
• Non-comedogenic—won’t contribute to breakouts
• Dermatologist recommended for sensitive skin care routines

Who this is for: CETAPHIL Advanced Defence Serum is intended for people with sensitive or easily stressed skin who want a gentle morning antioxidant boost that hydrates, refines texture and supports a healthier-looking complexion. It suits busy morning routines, layers well with sunscreen and makeup, and pairs effectively with a restorative evening serum for enhanced results.
