Cetaphil Gentle Clear Repairing Post-Acne Serum

Product Information

Breakouts are tough, but the marks they leave behind can be even harder to deal with. Cetaphil Gentle Clear Repairing Post-Acne Serum is specifically formulated to help reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and pores, while restoring your skin's natural glow – all without irritating sensitive, breakout-prone skin.

What makes it so effective? It is formulated with 0.5% Bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinol alternative that is clinically proven to help reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and pores, visibly improving skin texture and restoring your skin's natural glow after 12 weeks of use. Unlike traditional retinol, Bakuchiol is gentle on sensitive skin and does not cause redness, peeling, or irritation.

It also contains Zinc to help absorb excess surface oil and Prebiotics to help strengthen your skin's natural barrier. In a clinical study, 100% of users agreed that this serum brightened their complexion. It is clinically tested on sensitive skin and defends against 5 signs of skin sensitivity: dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier.
