Product overview
Key Ingredients
Based on the brand's own official regional websites (Australia and UK), cross-checked against each other, this night cream's formula is: Aqua, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Butylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Polydecene, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Olivate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Sorbitan Olivate, Beeswax, Vinyl Dimethicone, Anhydroxylitol, Citric Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Cicer Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Pancratium Maritimum Extract, Pentasodium Pentetate, Propanediol, Rhododendron Chrysanthum Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Tocopherol, Tricholoma Matsutake Extract, Trideceth-10, Xylitol, and Xylitylglucoside. Note: the UK official site's list omits Pentasodium Pentetate, which appears on the Australian official site -- a minor regional listing variance, not a contradiction of the core formula. The brand markets a combination of Niacinamide with Pancratium Maritimum (sea daffodil) extract as its "GentleBright Technology."
Key Features
Cetaphil is a global skincare brand owned by Galderma. Note: this exact catalog listing (50 g, with a space) refers to the same underlying product as a separately-listed 50g (no space) catalog entry -- Bangladeshi retailers list both spacing variants interchangeably for what is confirmed to be the identical formula and pack size. This night cream is formulated to be fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic, and is positioned by the brand as suitable for sensitive skin.
Benefits
Niacinamide is a well-studied ingredient generally associated with supporting an even skin tone and a healthier-looking skin barrier. The brand's own marketing describes a visible decrease in the appearance of dark spots after around 4 weeks of use; we recommend treating this "brightening" positioning as the brand's cosmetic marketing claim rather than an independently verified clinical result. Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin are included to support hydration, which the brand states can last up to 8 hours.
Who Can Use This Product
This product is marketed by the brand as suitable for sensitive skin, being fragrance-free. As with any new skincare product, we recommend a patch test before full use, particularly for those with known sensitivities to any of the listed ingredients. Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have specific dermatological conditions should consult a doctor before introducing new brightening actives into their routine.
How to Use
Apply to cleansed face and neck at night, gently massaging in circular motions until absorbed. Consistent nightly use over several weeks is generally needed before any visible brightening effect, per the brand's own usage timeline. Follow any specific instructions printed on the product packaging.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong-smelling substances. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction develops. Individuals with known sensitivities to any ingredient in the list above should review it carefully before use.
