Cetaphil Skin Activator Hydrating & Firming Cream – Mandelic Acid + CICA, 3.4 oz

Wake up your skin with Cetaphil Skin Activator Hydrating & Firming Cream for the face, neck, and chest. As we age, skin cells can feel less active, slowing turnover and barrier repair. This formula uses Skin Activator Technology to deliver microdosed Mandelic Acid (AHA) and encapsulated Centella Asiatica (CICA) deep into the surface layers to help awaken sleeping cells and support the skin's moisture balance.

Designed for aging, thinning, and sensitive skin, the cream is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and paraben-free. It offers gentle daily care that fits into a busy routine, providing lasting hydration and a more resilient look without heaviness.
