Cetaphil Takes on Aging Skin with New Skincare Line
Cetaphil selected highly purified botanical glycopeptides as the main ingredient for Healthy Renew, replicating the benefits of retinol while being well tolerated.
Galderma is rolling out Cetaphil Healthy Renew, its first-ever healthy aging skincare line.
"Aging skin is a particular point of frustration for my sensitive skin patients due to increased risks of irritation and an already compromised skin barrier,” says Cetaphil partner Dendy Engleman, MD Director of Dermatology and Laser Medicine at the Shafer Clinic in New York City, in a news release. “Active ingredients like retinol are especially not well-tolerated, so I'm thrilled to share Cetaphil Healthy Renew with them as a new, gentle, and efficacious option to combat the early signs of aging."
After researching more than 300 peptides, Cetaphil selected highly purified botanical glycopeptides as the main ingredient for Healthy Renew, replicating the benefits of retinol while being well tolerated.
"Those with sensitive skin have an inherently compromised skin barrier, causing it to age differently than other skin types. This is because the skin experiences recurrent irritation that can affect the skin's natural collagen and elastin production.,” says Matthew Meckfessel, PhD, Director of Medical Affairs at Galderma. “The simplified protein chains within the Healthy Renew collection are a gentler option for sensitive skin, don't require typical adaptation time, and aren't known to increase sensitivity to the sun. Instead, they help reduce the visible signs of aging with minimal skin disruption."
Combined with Vitamins B3 and B5 to help hydrate, soothe, and repair the skin's moisture barrier, Healthy Renew's formula also includes botanical extracts from Rice lees and Edelweiss to target dullness and uneven skin tone. The dermatologist developed line features the following four products that are all hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic:
