Cetaphil Gentle Clear Triple-Action Acne Serum

Product Information

When a breakout hits, you want it gone fast – but harsh acne treatments can leave your sensitive skin red, dry, and irritated. Cetaphil Gentle Clear Triple-Action Acne Serum is different. This milky-gel serum with 0.5% Salicylic Acid improves the appearance of breakouts in just 3 days – without compromising your skin's comfort.

What makes it triple-action? It contains Salicylic Acid to clear acne and prevent future breakouts by sloughing away dead skin cells and unclogging pores. It is also formulated with Succinic Acid to soothe, hydrate, and resurface skin, improving the appearance of uneven skin tone. Plus, it provides 24-hour hydration so your skin stays balanced and comfortable.

In a clinical study, 93% of consumers trust this serum to clear their breakouts without irritating their skin, and 90% felt more confident in their sensitive, breakout-prone skin after using it. It is clinically tested on sensitive skin and defends against 5 signs of skin sensitivity: dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier.
