Top Skin Care Brand is Taking Facial Sun Protection to a New Level

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Galderma Laboratories is excited to
introduce a NEW SPF 50 facial moisturizer from Cetaphil(R), the #1
dermatologist-recommended brand of cleansers and moisturizers, that provides
broad spectrum protection. Finally, a product that goes beyond moisturizing,
to provide the highest SPF available for a moisturizer designed specifically
for the face. Cetaphil(R) UVA/UVB Defense SPF 50 is non-greasy; it nourishes
and hydrates skin, while protecting it from the sun's harmful rays. 

Cetaphil(R) UVA/UVB Defense SPF 50 delivers across the spectrum to help
protect skin from UVA/UVB rays, and help hydrate as a daily facial
moisturizer. It contains an optimum blend of 4 filters and micronized Titanium
Dioxide that screen both the UVA and UVB rays. For patients requiring an
effective sunscreen as part of the management of their skin related condition,
Cetaphil(R) UVA/UVB Defense SPF 50 combines two steps in one making it an
ideal choice for both daily sun protection and for moisturizing the face.

Cetaphil(R) UVA/UVB Defense SPF 50 has also been awarded the Skin Cancer
Foundation Seal of Recommendation. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends this
product as an effective UV facial sunscreen and as an effective aid in the
prevention of sun induced damage to the skin including sunburn and possibly,
premature aging. It is important to use proper UVA/UVB filters to help prevent
sunburn and other skin damage.  

The lightweight formula of the Cetaphil(R) UVA/UVB Defense SPF 50 hydrates the
skin to avoid evaporation and absorbs quickly, leaving no filmy white residue.
It is fragrance free, non-irritating and non-comedogenic, so it won't clog
pores, making it a suitable choice for those with acne, rosacea or melasma and
other skin related conditions, where a hydrating formula with SPF protection
is recommended. 

Cetaphil(R) UVA/UVB Defense SPF 50 is available in a 1.7 oz. tube for $13.99
and is available at major retail, grocery and drug stores nationwide.
