Galderma Launches Transformative Skincare Segment With Cetaphil’s New Skin Activator Hydrating & Firming Line, in Partnership With Actor and Filmmaker Mariska Hargitay18.9.2025 08:00:00 EEST | Press release
Galderma today announced Cetaphil, the dermatologist-recommended brand trusted by millions with sensitive skin, is redefining daily skincare with its new Skin Activator Hydrating & Firming line. The launch marks an entirely new skincare segment of advanced hydration and firming solutions designed specifically for improving the appearance of aging, thinning, and fragile skin. As people age, surface skin cells stop performing at the same level, or “go to sleep,” causing fine lines, dehydration, and looser skin, in turn leading to skin looking and feeling less firm and more fragile.1 Skin Activator technology serves as a “wake-up call” to sleeping surface skin cells. The unique complex is powered by encapsulated CICA to help restore the skin’s moisture barrier to visibly plump and firm skin as well as microdosed mandelic acid to increase surface skin cell turnover to visibly reduce dull, uneven skin. In clinical trials, the Skin Activator Hydrating & Firming Lotion showed to be effective
