Brand note

Cetaphil is the drugstore brand that dermatologists consistently recommend for sensitive, reactive skin — think barrier repair, gentle cleansing, and no-frills formulas that prioritize safety over sensation. The Moisturizing Cream is the anchor here: a thick, glycerin- and niacinamide-based cream that creators use as a hard reset when their barrier is compromised, though it's heavy enough that some reserve it for night or body use.
