To achieve and maintain healthy skin
Follow the Cetaphil® 3 Step Regimen, including cleansing, moisturising and protecting skin from harmful UV exposure. These simple steps are an important part of caring for your skin.
-
Step 1: Cleanse gently
Before applying moisturiser, use a mild, soap-free, fragrance free, low irritant cleanser.
-
If you are also using topical medication to treat your skin, mild cleansing can help prepare skin for absorption of topical medication.1
-
Step 2: Moisturise intensely
Moisturising helps restore skins natural protective barrier.
-
Use a non-greasy, fragrance free, non-comedogenic moisturiser to hydrate and soften your skin.
-
Moisturising can also assist with absorption of topical medications.
-
Step 3: Protect daily
It’s important to protect skin from everyday UV exposure.
-
Use a fragrance free, hypo-allergenic, broad spectrum, SPF 30+ moisturiser.

Why dermatologists recommend soap-free cleansing.
The problem with soap-based cleansers is that they take away too much. Because, as well as removing make-up, dirt and grime, they also remove the natural emollients and oils that give your skin a protective barrier and keep it soft and supple. If you have sensitive or problem skin, such as eczema, psoriasis, acne or rosacea, then you’ll know especially how irritating soap-based cleansers can be.
Unlike soap, Cetaphil® cleansers have been formulated to gently cleanse all skin types without stripping them of their natural oils. In fact, Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser has been shown to be one of the gentlest, least irritating cleansers.

How Cetaphil Moisturisers help hydrate your skin
Healthy skin contains a balance of natural oils and moisture. While cleansing with soap-free Cetaphil® will help maintain the balance of oils, your skin may also need assistance to maintain healthy moisture levels.
Cetaphil® Moisturisers hydrate your skin by helping to draw the natural moisture from deep within the skin and then maintaining hydration.
They do this with a unique combination of quality ingredients:
- Emollients. These are the essential first stage to soften the skin.
- Humectants. These then draw the naturally occurring moisture from deep within the skin.
Our moisturisers feel smooth on your skin and, importantly, won’t block your pores. Being lanolin and fragrance-free, they are suitable for sensitive and dry to very dry skin and will provide rapid and long lasting relief.
