What Else You Need to Know: The Cetaphil Mattifying Acne Moisturizer is a clinically proven 2-in-1 acne treatment and daily moisturizer specifically formulated for sensitive, acne-prone skin. Its gentle yet effective 0.5% Salicylic Acid formula clears and prevents future breakouts — including breakouts from wearing face masks — while botanicals and a prebiotic complex nourish skin, soothe the appearance of acne redness, and improve skin texture. Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-greasy with 48-hour hydration — fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and hypoallergenic for even the most sensitive, acne-prone skin.

Why It Works — Key Ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid 0.5% (BHA): A clinically proven acne-fighting active that penetrates pores to clear existing breakouts and prevent future ones — including breakouts from wearing face masks — gentle yet effective for daily use on sensitive, acne-prone skin without over-drying or irritating.
• Botanicals: A blend of skin-nourishing botanicals that help nourish skin, soothe the appearance of acne redness, and improve skin texture — complementing the formula's acne-treating and moisturizing benefits for a balanced, comfortable complexion.
• Prebiotic Complex: A skin-balancing prebiotic complex that helps nourish and support the skin's natural microbiome — contributing to a healthier, more resilient skin barrier and a more balanced, less breakout-prone complexion with consistent daily use.
• 48-Hour Hydrating Formula: A lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizing formula that hydrates for 48 hours without clogging pores — alleviating dryness and leaving skin feeling comfortable, balanced, and mattified throughout the day.
