Cetaphil Ceramide Serum for Sensitive Skin, 1 oz — Lightweight Hydration & Barrier Repair

Cetaphil Ceramide Serum is a lightweight, fragrance-free serum formulated with ceramides, Centella asiatica (CICA), and allantoin to help restore the skin’s moisture barrier and calm sensitive skin. Cetaphil Ceramide Serum targets weakened moisture barriers with a non-greasy formula made for sensitive skin. Clinically shown to lock in hydration for up to 48 hours and to improve barrier integrity within a week, this serum layers easily under creams and sunscreen. Free from fragrance and parabens, it aims to reduce visible dryness, roughness, tightness and irritation while supporting a more even skin tone in days.

How does this serum rebuild a damaged moisture barrier?

The serum supplies essential lipids—ceramides—that mirror the skin’s natural barrier components, helping to seal in moisture and reduce water loss. Replenishing these lipids supports the skin’s resilience and helps prevent irritants from penetrating the surface.

• Contains multiple ceramides to reinforce the lipid matrix
• Clinically proven improvements in barrier function within 1 week
• Lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without leaving residue

What active ingredients calm and protect sensitive skin?

Alongside ceramides, the formula includes Centella asiatica (CICA) to help defend against surface free radicals and allantoin to soothe and comfort reactive skin. These actives work together to reduce the visual signs of sensitivity without harsh additives.

• CICA for antioxidant support at the skin surface
• Allantoin to soothe and reduce discomfort from dryness
• Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic for safety on reactive skin

How quickly will I see results on texture and tone?

Users can expect visible improvement in skin tone in as little as three days and measurable barrier repair within a week when used consistently. The serum also locks in moisture, delivering clinically tested hydration benefits that persist between applications.

• Noticeably more even skin tone in about 3 days
• Maintains hydration for up to 48 hours per clinical testing
• Reduces roughness and visible signs of dryness with regular use

How should I incorporate this serum into my daily routine?

Use the serum after cleansing and any water-based treatments, then follow with moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning. Its lightweight feel makes it suitable for layering under richer creams for extra protection at night.

• Apply to clean skin morning and night for best results
• Follow with moisturizer; apply SPF during daytime routines
• Works under makeup and pairs well with other Cetaphil products
