With a 0.5% Bakuchiol base, the Cetaphil Gentle Clear Repairing Post-Acne Serum treats hyperpigmentation and uneven texture. This oil-free milky gel utilizes Zinc and Niacinamide to manage surface lipids. This version replaces the previous Triple-Action formula by swapping Salicylic Acid for Phyto-retinol to manage sensitivity. The updated formulation shifts focus from active breakouts to repairing post-inflammatory marks.
