Product Overview
The Cetaphil Healthy Renew Face Serum brings anti-ageing performance to those who need it to be gentle. Powered by a Purified Peptides complex — formulated as a gentler retinol alternative — this serum addresses the key visible signs of skin ageing including loss of firmness, uneven texture, and dullness, without the irritation risk that often accompanies stronger actives.
Why You'll Love It
For those who have found retinol too harsh, or want a more sensitive-skin-friendly approach to anti-ageing, this serum delivers a meaningful upgrade. Cetaphil's clinical studies show significant improvements in skin firmness, texture and tone in as little as two weeks, with 24-hour hydration and 90% consumer agreement on increased skin suppleness and elasticity. The formula combines Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for tone-evening and barrier support, Panthenol (Vitamin B5) for moisture retention, and botanical extracts including Oryza Sativa (Rice) Lees and Edelweiss for antioxidant protection and radiance. It is delivered via an airless pump — a format that protects active stability throughout the product's life.
Key Ingredients
- Purified Peptides (Retinol Alternative): A skin-firming peptide complex that supports collagen and skin renewal pathways with a gentler tolerability profile than retinol.
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Addresses uneven skin tone, visible pores and skin barrier integrity — a multi-tasking ingredient suited to most skin types.
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5): A provitamin that supports moisture retention and skin barrier recovery.
- Oryza Sativa (Rice) Lees Extract: Rich in antioxidants and nutrients that help brighten and even the complexion.
- Leontopodium Alpinum (Edelweiss) Extract: A high-altitude botanical with strong antioxidant properties that helps protect skin from environmental stress.
- Adenosine: Helps reduce the visible appearance of fine lines and contributes to a smoother skin surface.
Who Is It For?
This serum is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is especially well-suited to those in their 30s and beyond looking to address early to moderate signs of ageing — specifically firmness loss, dullness, uneven texture and dehydration — without the irritation or adjustment period often required with retinol.
