Galderma marks 70th anniversary of keeping skin healthy with Cetaphil

I discovered Cetaphil when my Pedia Dermatologist prescribed it to my son when he was a toddler. The son developed some rashes and allergy on his bottom due to the wrong brand of diaper that he wore. There were no medicines and ointment given but a Cetaphil cleansing lotion. After a week of religiously using Cetaphil. The bottom became smooth and rashes free. Since then, everyone in the family uses it up to this day.

Galderma celebrates 70 years of healthy skin with Cetaphil on May 17 at Makati Shangri-la. The event was attended by media and bloggers.

Galderma is delighted to announce that 2017 marks the 70th anniversary of Cetaphil, their dermatologically formulated skincare range which is clinically proven to strengthen and protect even the most sensitive skin ensuring healthy skin.

Invented in 1947 by a pioneering pharmacist in Texas, the first product - “Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion“ - known today as Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser - still uses the same formula. Customers soon recognized its gentle cleansing power and from then on, the Cetaphil range of products started to grow. Now, 70 years later, Cetaphil is available in more than 70 countries worldwide and offers a wide range of everyday products from, cleansers, moisturizers, sun protection to baby products and solutions for sensitive skin conditions such as acne, eczema and rosacea. Specifically formulated to provide effective skincare for a variety of skin types and conditions, Cetaphil has become one of the top skincare brands recommended by dermatologists  and other healthcare professionals across the world.

The essence of Cetaphil is in the name: the ‘phil’ at the end means ‘love’, while the ‘Cet’ comes from the fatty alcohol which is used as an emollient – Cetyl alcohol. ‘Cetaphil’, therefore, is the love of softening and soothing skin.

“With its gentle and clinically proven formulas, Cetaphil reinforces and protects the structure of the skin - even in people with the most sensitive and delicate skin” explained Dr Eszter Baltas, dermatologist who contributed to developing Cetaphil products and now Associate Professor at the  Department of Dermatology and Allergology in Szeged, Hungary. “Thanks to its long heritage, based on in-depth understanding of dermatology, Cetaphil offers reliable, scientifically-tested solutions.”

“Cetaphil has been used by people with sensitive skin for more than three generations” said Neil Popplewell, Vice President Consumer Business, Nestlé Skin Health. “Over the last 70 years, we have worked closely with medical experts to better understand people’s skin needs. This has allowed us to provide different solutions adapted to these needs, and to make the Cetaphil range what it is today. Like regular exercise and a well-balanced diet, maintaining healthy skin is essential for your overall well-being, so Cetaphil completes your health routine. We will continue to develop the brand and make it more accessible to consumers worldwide. We look forward to the next 70 years of healthy skin with Cetaphil.”

Dr. Baltas sums it up: “When you choose Cetaphil, you’re choosing the best for your skin.”

Trust your skin to Cetaphil

They say men are from Mars and women are from Venus. We all acknowledge that each person has his or her own little quirks. Just as our fingerprints are different, so are our personalities and needs. But the good news is, despite our uniqueness, we can all trust just one skincare line to respond to all our different skin types. The Cetaphil line of skincare products employs the Science of Gentle. They are non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and moisturizing. This means each product is mild and leaves your and your family’s skin smooth and soft. It moisturizes effectively but does not leave any pore-clogging residue.

It turns out that skincare that responds to your teenager’s breakouts, your daughter’s sensitive skin, your husband’s hardy skin constitution and your own thirsty skin can be found in just one line. That means: no more guessing and especially, no experimentation that can leave indelible results on your skin. We’ve all experienced products that dry out our skin or moisturizers that cause too much oil and shine. Cetaphil even soothes some skin problems with its dermatologically tested formula.

“Cetaphil is non-soap, non-alkaline and clinically proven safe for all skin types. It is all your family needs to have healthy skin,” says Catherine Palma-Dilanco, Cetaphil Brand Manager. Buying Cetaphil for your family shows that you care for each of them. This also makes shopping for your family’s skincare easy and hassle-free. With a healthy skincare regimen, there is less damage on your skin.

Use the entire line of Cetaphil products for best results: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion, Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer, and Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. Cetaphil is available in drugstores, department stores and supermarkets nationwide.
