IN Malaysia, a significant portion of the population grapples with oily and combination-sensitive skin, issues exacerbated by high humidity and urban pollution.
In fact, Asian skin tends to be oilier due to both outer and inner factors, including a higher density of oil glands that produce sebum.
While sebum production is essential for maintaining skin suppleness, environmental humidity can overstimulate oil glands, resulting in enlarged pores and potential acne development. These challenges highlight the need for tailored skincare solutions.
Cetaphil's new Daily Facial Cleanser targets this issue with a gel to foam formula tailored for oily to combination-sensitive skin.
It targets the removal of pollution microparticles and cleanses and purifies while preserving the natural moisture balance of skin.
Its non-comedogenic formula prevents breakouts which are common to those with oily or sensitive skin without stripping moisture.
Research shows that consumers enjoy using lathering or foaming cleansers to achieve that clean feeling, says Galderma Malaysia country manager Cindy Tiu.
"Our team of dermatologists and researchers developed the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser to meet these preferences whilst protecting the skin barrier, which is especially important for those with sensitive skin."
It isn't just about cleansing; it's about empowering individuals with oily, sensitive skin to confidently embrace their skincare journey healthily, she adds.
The formula targets all essential ceramide classes supporting skin barrier repair and restoration to make it more resilient against external aggressors while retaining moisture and nutrients within the skin.
