Cetaphil Healthy Radiance Exfoliating Cleanser 4.2oz — PHA, 2% Niacinamide, Fragrance-Free

Cetaphil Healthy Radiance Gentle PHA Exfoliating Cleanser is a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic daily face wash that gently exfoliates and helps visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots for a more even, radiant complexion.

This cleanser combines a sensitive-skin friendly polyhydroxy acid (PHA) with Cetaphil’s GentleBright Complex, including 2% niacinamide and antioxidants, to cleanse while addressing uneven tone and dullness. Designed to be non-irritating, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, it works as part of a regular skincare routine for people who want subtle brightening without harsh scrubs or fragrances.

How does this cleanser brighten skin without irritating sensitive skin?

The formula uses PHA for mild chemical exfoliation, which helps lift away dead skin cells without the sting sometimes associated with stronger acids. Niacinamide in the GentleBright Complex supports a more even-looking tone, while antioxidants help protect skin from everyday stressors. Together they target the look of discoloration gradually and gently.

• PHA offers gentle, hydration-friendly exfoliation safe for daily use.
• 2% niacinamide helps reduce visible dark spots and uneven pigment over time.
• Antioxidants support skin resilience and overall radiance.
• Fragrance-free, oil-free, and hypoallergenic to minimize irritation risks.

Will this product help with hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks?

This cleanser is formulated to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots, brown spots, and post-acne marks when used consistently as part of a complete skincare routine. It gently exfoliates surface skin to promote smoother tone, while active ingredients target discoloration cues rather than aggressively bleaching or resurfacing.

• Targets visible discoloration like age spots and post-inflammatory marks.
• Regular use supports gradual improvement in skin luminosity.
• Works best combined with sun protection and complementary brightening products.

How do I use the Cetaphil Healthy Radiance cleanser in my daily routine?

Wet your face, apply a small amount, and massage gently into skin for about 30–60 seconds before rinsing. Use morning and evening or as tolerated; follow with moisturizer and SPF during daytime to protect renewed skin. Avoid combining with abrasive physical scrubs to limit irritation.

• Use on damp skin; rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
• Follow with a moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin.
• Apply broad-spectrum SPF during the day to protect results.

Is this cleanser safe for clogged pores and acne-prone skin?

The formula is oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it won’t contribute to pore blockage. Gentle exfoliation can help surface turnover, which may reduce the buildup that contributes to clogged pores, but it is not an acne treatment. For active or severe acne, consult a dermatologist for targeted care.

• Non-comedogenic and oil-free to avoid pore-clogging.
• Gentle exfoliation supports clearer-looking skin texture.
• Dermatologist-recommended for sensitive skin types.

Who is this for: This cleanser is intended for people with sensitive, dull, or uneven skin who want a gentle daily wash that addresses the appearance of dark spots without strong fragrances or harsh exfoliants. It’s a suitable option for those seeking mild, consistent brightening alongside a simple skincare routine, especially if you prefer dermatologist-recommended, hypoallergenic products.
