Cetaphil®New Ceramide Repair Lotion to Strengthen Sensitive Skin
January 8, 2026Cetaphil®, the trusted global leader in sensitive skincare and the No.1 dermatological skincare brand in Malaysia¹, has introduced its latest innovation — the Cetaphil® Ceramide Repair Lotion, a next-generation formula clinically proven to strengthen the skin’s internal moisture barrier and provide fast, visible relief for sensitive skin.
Specially developed for individuals struggling with dryness, itchiness, and irritation, the new Ceramide Repair Lotion works to repair and reinforce the skin barrier from within, addressing the root cause of sensitive skin concerns rather than simply masking symptoms.
Reinforcing Cetaphil®’s Leadership in Sensitive Skincare
The launch was officiated at 1 Utama Shopping Centre, where Ms. Cindy Tiu, Country Manager of Galderma Malaysia, reaffirmed Cetaphil®’s long-standing commitment to sensitive skin care.
“At Cetaphil®, we are for everyone’s sensitive skin. Our goal is to help Malaysians achieve healthier, more resilient skin with confidence by empowering consumers with dermatological expertise. We continuously collaborate with dermatologists, healthcare professionals, and communities to advocate gentle yet effective skincare for all,” said Cindy.
She highlighted that the growing prevalence of sensitive and dry skin reflects an urgent need for barrier-focused skincare solutions.
“Sensitive skin affects up to 70% of people globally², driven by modern lifestyle factors such as pollution, chronic stress, poor sleep, and unhealthy diets. In Malaysia, heat and humidity further intensify these concerns. Consumers today are looking for simple, gentle solutions that repair the skin barrier rather than overwhelm it,” she added.
For over 75 years, Cetaphil® has advanced skin science with a singular mission — to protect and support sensitive skin through dermatologist-tested, science-driven formulations. The brand has since become synonymous with clinical trust, relied upon by millions worldwide.
Expert Insights: Why Ceramides Matter
During the expert-led session titled “In Your Skin – Get The Ceramide Protection & Renewed Confidence!”, Dr. Benji Teoh, Consultant Dermatologist at Central Dermatology Specialist Clinic, shared valuable insights on the importance of science-backed skincare.
“In clinical practice, sensitive skin is one of the most common concerns I encounter. Environmental stressors such as UV exposure, pollution, stressful lifestyles, and daily skincare habits can weaken the skin barrier over time,” said Dr. Benji.
He noted that more patients are now seeking simpler routines that prioritise hydration, skin barrier support, and overall comfort. Dr. Benji also explained that ceramides, which occur naturally in the skin, play a crucial role in maintaining barrier integrity and preventing moisture loss, making them essential in managing sensitive and compromised skin.
With the introduction of the Cetaphil® Ceramide Repair Lotion, the brand continues to raise the standard for sensitive skincare in Malaysia, delivering clinically proven solutions designed to restore skin comfort, resilience, and confidence — one barrier at a time.
