Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing !! Lightweight, calming, and gives my ski I’ve been using the Cetaphil Advanced Defence Serum every morning and honestly, it’s become one of those products I actually look forward to applying. The texture is super lightweight and sinks in really quickly, so it layers perfectly under moisturiser and SPF without pilling. My skin feels hydrated and calm all day, but the biggest thing I’ve noticed is the healthy glow it gives — my skin looks fresher and more radiant even without makeup. It’s also been great for my sensitive skin, with no stinging or irritation at all. It just feels like a really easy, everyday serum that protects your skin while making it look naturally glowy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Doing a job I’ve been using Cetaphil Advanced Defence Serum AM for the past 10 days and I can already see a huge difference in my skin. It feels deeply hydrated, whereas it was always dehydrated before. My pores look less visible and my complexion is much more radiant and healthy-looking. I use the AM serum every morning and pair it with the PM serum from the same line in the evening. The formula is excellent, lightweight, and absorbs well without feeling heavy. It’s especially great for tired, stressed skin and instantly makes my face look fresher and more rested. I’m really impressed with the results and will definitely continue using it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love it I love this serum, the formula feels smooth and light. It instantly absorbs into skin without causing any irritation or discomfort. Not sticky or greasy at all. Have a lovely gel texture. The scent of the product light but smells lovely. The ingredients include my favourite hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. After a few weeks of use my skin feels healthier and I noticed that my skin doesn’t appear as tired at the end of the day, my pores and my fine lines look less visible too. Overall i have noticed an improvement in the appearance of my skins health and i would recommend this to anyone whi have dry /sensitive skin or anyone who is looking to have healthier looking skin

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Trusted skincare product I’ve been using this Advanced Defence/AM serum from Cetaphil in the mornings and overall it’s been very nice to use. The texture feels smooth and lightweight on the skin and it absorbs quickly, which is great for daytime before moisturizer and SPF. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin and feels gentle, which I really like. A lot of reviewers online mention how these Cetaphil serums help with hydration and strengthening the skin barrier, especially for sensitive skin types, and I can see that here too it keeps my skin feeling comfortable throughout the day without heaviness

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great day serum! The perfect day serum, great consistency allowing it to sink into the skin without feeling too heavy. It also didn’t feel greasy or oily and left my skin feeling hydrated allowing it to sit nicely under my make up. It didn’t cause my foundation to pill and in all honestly made my make up look really good and luminous. Didn’t break me out and definitely helped calm my skin down. Great ingredients and would recommend for all skin types.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Healthy & Balanced skin all day I absolutely love the Cetaphil Advanced Defence AM Serum. The pipette makes it so easy to dispense the perfect amount, and a little truly goes a long way, so the bottle will last for ages. The packaging is really nice and feels high-quality. The serum itself is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers beautifully under moisturizer and makeup without feeling greasy. It leaves my skin feeling fresh, hydrated, and comfortable all day long. My skin looks healthier and more balanced, and it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin while still being effective. This has become a staple in my morning routine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant!! I’ve been using the Cetaphil Advanced Defence Serum (AM) each morning and it fits perfectly into my routine. The absorption is fast and the appearance of my skin looks smoother and more even. The afterfeel is comfortable and non-greasy, making it easy to layer under moisturiser or SPF. There’s little to no scent, which I appreciate, and the durability is great as a small amount lasts a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Leaves my skin hydrated and plumper I’ve added this serum into my skin care routine for the past two weeks and paired it with the PM repair and renew serum. This has been the ideal addition to my routine during these cold winter months as there are additional stressors for my skin at this time of the year. My skin is definitely feeling more hydrated, plumper and healthier. It absorbs well into my skin and is a nice consistency. I am looking forward to continuing to use this and seeing more benefits as time goes on. It’s great that it’s fragrance free and doesn’t irritate my skin too.
