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 Amazing This serum is absolutely amazing. I love the way it feels on my skin. It’s a lightweight gel texture that just absorbs into the skin. My skin is always freaking out daily due to a damaged skin barrier. However within 2 weeks this has calmed my barrier down completely and made my skin soft and glowy again. It has a dropper applicator which I love as I can get just the right amount out. My skin drinksss this up and I’ve gotten so many compliments after using this serum consistently. I also find that it works really well with the night serum and you see faster results with the two together.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect office essential I love this serum, the formula feels skin smooth and light while also moisturised. The scent is really light and I really like the defence against blue light which I think is essential when you work in an office or infront of a screen most of the day. After two 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 look less visible too. Overall after using for two weeks o have noticed an improvement in the appearance of my skins health and o would recommend this to anyone who is looking to have healthier looking skin and again the protection against blue light too! I like the added touch that this serum can also protect your skin against pollution, this is a major benefit when you are in more urban areas.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Daily hydration I’ve been using the Cetaphil Advanced Defence Serum AM every morning for several weeks, and it’s quickly become a key step in my skincare routine. The serum comes in a sleek bottle with a pump, which makes it easy to dispense just the right amount. The texture is light and silky — it glides on smoothly and absorbs almost instantly without leaving any stickiness. This serum is great for daily hydration. It gives my skin a fresh, moisturised feel that lasts through the day — even in dryer or colder weather. I love that it layers well under SPF and makeup without pilling or feeling heavy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fresh daily serum Definitely a great product. I'm usually quite cautious because of sensitive skin. This doesn't have a scent or strong one. You only need a small amount, it absorbs well, makes my skin feel fresh and soft. I've noticed my skin has been a lot smoother with less breakouts. My skin Definitely feels revitalised in the mornings, i dont need to use as much makeup afterwards! Using this along side the PM one is definitely recommended

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it I have been really enjoying the Cetaphil Advanced Defence Serum AM as a daily step in my morning routine. It feels lightweight and comfortable on the skin while offering solid antioxidant protection against daily external stressors. The Gallic AOX Power complex with Gallic Acid and Vitamin E helps keep my skin calmer and less reactive throughout the day. Thanks to the triple hyaluronic acid, my skin stays well hydrated, smooth and fresh looking without any heaviness. Niacinamide is a great addition too. Over time my pores look more refined and my skin has a healthier, more radiant appearance. It absorbs quickly, layers well under other products and causes no irritation or breakouts. Paired with the Cetaphil Repair & Renew Serum at night, it noticeably improves overall skin quality within a couple of weeks. A great everyday serum for sensitive, stressed skin that needs protection and hydration.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing morning serum I love this serum. It soothes my irritated and dry skin and gives me the hydration and moisture that I need. I have been trying this product for a few weeks and it’s definitely improved skin radiance, pore visibility and reduced my skin sensitivity. It has amazing ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide and Gallic-AOX Power. I will definitely be buying another one when it runs out
