Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 Review
Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 Overview
Cetaphil is a common, widely distributed brand with a strong reputation for being gentle enough for sensitive skin. Their original cleanser is what most of us think of when we think of the brand, but when we heard about Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15, we thought we’d check it out.
The claims made by Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 are that it protects your skin from daily exposure to the elements with silky smooth broad spectrum protection against the sun’s’ rays. It goes on beautifully and is the perfect hydration and protection for under your makeup. As an oil-free and fragrance-free product, Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 is supposed to be ideal for all types of skin, including the most sensitive.
The trouble is, when you look at all the Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 reviews out there, so many of them talk of burning, rashes, and breaking out. So our next step of course is to take a look at the formula to see what it can tell us.
Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 Ingredients and How They Work
The sunscreen protection is provided by Avobenzone 3% and Octocrylene 10%. Together, they provide broad spectrum protection.
The base of the cream contains:
- Glycerin for natural, skin-identical hydration.
- Silicones for silky slipperiness.
- Vitamin E for antioxidant protection.
That’s about it. So what’s causing the irritation? Well, it’s probably the sunscreen ingredients. Both Avobenzone and Ocotcrylene are known to trigger allergic reactions in some people. The alternative for most of them is to use a mineral suscreen, but these can have their disadvantages as well, such as chalkiness.
