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 AM face serum that helps strengthen sensitive skin against daily environmental stressors using Gallic‑AOX (Gallic Acid + Vitamin E), Triple Hyaluronic Acid, and Niacinamide.

Start your morning routine with a serum formulated to support sensitive skin facing pollution, dryness, and visible redness. This fragrance‑free, hypoallergenic serum is non‑comedogenic and designed to layer under sunscreen and makeup. Its antioxidant complex and multi-weight hyaluronic acids work together to hydrate, smooth, and help protect skin from oxidative challenges without harsh ingredients.

How does this serum defend skin against daily stressors?

The formula centers on Gallic‑AOX, a blend of Gallic Acid and Vitamin E, which helps neutralize oxidative stress on the skin surface. By reducing oxidative burden, the serum supports skin’s natural repair processes and can help skin appear less reactive to environmental triggers.

• Gallic Acid + Vitamin E antioxidant complex for surface protection
• Lightweight delivery that absorbs quickly for daytime layering
• Non‑irritating, fragrance‑free format for sensitive skin

Will it hydrate and improve skin texture?

Yes — Triple Hyaluronic Acid targets multiple skin layers to attract and retain moisture, which smooths texture and helps skin look plumper. Niacinamide complements hydration by helping to minimize the appearance of pores and improve overall radiance.

• Triple Hyaluronic Acid for multi-depth hydration
• Niacinamide to refine pore appearance and boost luminosity
• Non‑comedogenic so it won’t clog pores while hydrating

Is this safe for sensitive or reactive skin?

The serum is formulated to be hypoallergenic and fragrance‑free, minimizing common irritants. It’s dermatologist‑recommended for sensitive skin and clinically tested in use studies to support visible improvements when paired with a complementary nighttime serum.

• Fragrance‑free and hypoallergenic formulation
• Non‑comedogenic to reduce risk of breakouts
• Designed for daily AM use and pairing with PM routine

How should I use it in my morning routine?

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin after cleansing and before moisturizer and sunscreen. The lightweight texture allows quick absorption so you can continue with sunscreen and makeup without pilling.

• Use 2–3 drops on face and neck in the AM after cleansing
• Follow with moisturizer and broad‑spectrum SPF
• Pair with CETAPHIL Repair & Renew Serum at night for a full routine

Who is this for? Cetaphil Advanced Defence Serum is aimed at people with sensitive or reactive skin who want a gentle daytime antioxidant boost. It suits anyone seeking lightweight hydration, pore refining benefits, and added defense against everyday environmental stressors while maintaining a low‑irritation profile. Ideal for those who wear sunscreen and makeup daily and want a serum that layers easily into an existing AM regimen.
