Product details

Cetaphil Acne Moisturizer for Oily Skin — Gentle Clear Mattifying, Oil-Free 0.5% Salicylic Acid (89ml)

The moisturizer step most acne routines skip. This oil-free, mattifying lotion hydrates for up to 48 hours while 0.5% salicylic acid keeps clearing and preventing breakouts between cleanses — a matte, shine-free finish for oily, acne-prone skin. Not sold via Indian retail — sealed US pack. Authentic USA import at ₹1,329 · COD available · Free delivery ₹1,499+.

Why It Works

  • 0.5% salicylic acid — keeps working between cleanses to clear pores and help prevent breakouts
  • 48-hour hydration, zero shine — absorbs excess sebum for a matte finish without a chalky feel
  • Botanical + prebiotic complex — bisabolol and licorice root visibly calm acne-related redness
  • Layers clean — lightweight under sunscreen and makeup
  • Non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested — for sensitive, acne-prone skin

The Studied Pair

In the brand's 12-week regimen study, this moisturizer paired with the Gentle Clear Pore Clearing Cleanser twice daily gave 93% of participants clearer skin. During flare-ups, cleanse with the BPO Cleanser instead.

How to Use

Apply to clean skin morning and night as the last skincare step (before sunscreen by day). A little goes a long way on the T-zone.

Dropy guarantee: sealed authentic USA stock with a packing-proof video on every order.

For external use. For persistent or severe acne, consult a dermatologist.

📖 Compare: CeraVe vs Cetaphil Guide

  1. Cleanse the skin thoroughly prior to application.
  2. Smooth a thin layer over the entire affected area one to three times daily as needed.
  3. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor.
  4. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
  5. For new users, apply sparingly to one or two small areas for the first three days to test for sensitivity.

    Clears acne rapid and has a pore filler effect!!

    I've had random hormonal acne near my chin for 3 weeks on and on driving me crazyyyy. My niacinamide serum and hydrocolloid patches alone weren't taking care of the issue - every other day it seems like another small pimple appears 🙃I usually never use 'acne moisturizer' because even though my skin gets oily it dries out very easily and I didn't want overly dry skin. This Moisturizer cleared up all oiliness from my acne and visibly lightened the remaining marks overnight from the first day! It truly does have a 'mattifying' effect and looks like your wearing a zero pore primer or something! I might be replacing my baby pore filler with this moisturizer honestly. I will say - it has the slightest drying feel on skin immediately after applying. But mainly only on the oily acne areas. This moisturizer has already won me over so it's not a deal breaker. If you're looking at this with hormonal acne wondering if you should try it please do. I recommend this and niacinamide serum from the ordinary to really kill that acne bacteria and appearance fast.

    The greatest post-shave article for my sensitive skin

    I'm one of those people with a tough beard and sensitive skin. I have been looking for a post shave product for many years. Yet it needed to be moisturizing, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, and not sticky. And I have found that the Cetaphil Face Moisturizer is the best product for me. I just purchased my 4th tube.

FAQs

Is Cetaphil available in India? Where can I buy authentic Cetaphil acne moisturizer online?

Yes — authentic Cetaphil is available in India at dropy.in, directly sourced and imported from the USA. You can buy the genuine Cetaphil Gentle Clear Mattifying Acne Moisturizer (0.5% Salicylic Acid) online with cash on delivery (COD) across India, with every order shipped from our Navi Mumbai warehouse.

Cetaphil Gentle Clear Mattifying Moisturizer vs CeraVe AM — which for oily acne-prone skin?

Cetaphil Gentle Clear adds 0.5% salicylic acid to actively treat acne while mattifying oil, whereas CeraVe AM focuses on hydration plus SPF. For active breakouts in humid Indian weather, the Cetaphil mattifying moisturizer does double duty; CeraVe AM is better as a daytime SPF moisturizer.

What is the Cetaphil acne moisturizer price in India in 2026?

The Cetaphil Gentle Clear Mattifying Acne Moisturizer (0.5% Salicylic Acid) is priced in INR on dropy.in with regular offers on authentic USA-imported stock. New customers can use code FIRST200 for ₹200 off on orders above ₹1,999. Prices reflect genuine imported product, not grey-market or counterfeit stock.

How do I check if Cetaphil is original or fake when buying in India?

Every Cetaphil order from dropy.in is genuine USA-imported stock, and we record a packing-proof video of your exact parcel before dispatch so you can verify the sealed, authentic product. Check for the original batch code and sealed packaging — counterfeit beauty products are common on unverified Indian marketplaces, so buy from trusted importers.
