We are dedicated to advancing skin science, fostering trust among healthcare professionals and consumers, and ensuring that every individual can access effective, dermatologist-approved skincare solutions tailored to their needs.

Science-Backed Solutions for Sensitive Skin
Cetaphil, our Dermatologist Recommended skincare brand4, has earned the trust of millions through its clinically proven and science-backed formulations specifically designed for sensitive skin. Every product within the Cetaphil portfolio is formulated with expertise to provide effective results while maintaining the highest standards of gentleness and safety.
Our commitment to sensitive skin care drives us to constantly innovate and expand our product portfolio. Whether addressing skin hydration, brightness, or daily cleansing and moisturization, Cetaphil offers comprehensive solutions that help individuals manage their unique skin concerns with confidence.
Today’s consumers are more informed and discerning than ever before. Skincare has evolved beyond cosmetic appeal, now being viewed as an integral part of holistic wellness. Every skin has its own story, influenced by diverse factors such as skin type, environment, lifestyle, and age. Recognizing these nuances, Cetaphil continues to design personalized skincare solutions that meet the needs of each individual, ensuring effective care for every skin type and sensitivity.
Partnering with Dermatologists for Proven Efficacy
Each Cetaphil variant is specifically developed to help defend against the five signs of skin sensitivity2 — dryness, irritation, roughness, tightness, and a weakened skin barrier. These formulations1 work by boosting the skin’s natural barrier function and supporting all 15 classes of Ceramides3, which play a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration and resilience.
This unique blend of clinical expertise and consumer insight ensures that Cetaphil remains synonymous with trust, efficacy, and dermatologist-backed care.
Addressing Every Skin Need
Over the years, Cetaphil has expanded its presence in India through a comprehensive and growing product portfolio that addresses the specific skincare needs of diverse consumers.
Cetaphil Baby – developed to care for delicate baby skin with dermatologically tested, gentle formulations.
Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance – a dedicated range for consumers seeking visible radiance while being suitable for sensitive skin.
Cetaphil Optimal Hydration – formulated to deliver long-lasting hydration through innovative moisture-locking technology.
Cetaphil SA Range – our most recent innovation designed to support smoother, clearer skin5
While each range caters to distinct skin concerns, the overarching goal remains constant — to provide effective skincare for every sensitive skin need.
Building Trust, Earning Loyalty
Cetaphil’s longstanding and continued trust of dermatologists and consumers alike have been instrumental in its growth in the Indian market. This trust translates into loyalty with consumers repeatedly choosing Cetaphil as part of their daily skincare routine.
This confidence was further validated when Cetaphil was recognized as Brand of the Year 2025 for the third consecutive year, a testament to the enduring relationship between the brand and its consumers.
A Growing Market for Skin Health
India’s awareness and adoption of scientific skincare have accelerated significantly in recent years. Industry projections estimate that the Indian skin health market will reach USD 28–30 billion by 2029–2030, growing at an impressive CAGR of 10–12%.
This evolving landscape presents immense opportunities for dermatology-focused companies, and Galderma is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation.
