Cetaphil Restoraderm
The Cetaphil brand, the #1 dermatologist-recommended brand of cleansers and moisturizers today announced the launch of Cetaphil Restoraderm products, formulated specifically for the needs of eczema and atopic dermatitis skin.  Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Wash and Skin Restoring Moisturizer soothes itching associated with skin affected by eczema and atopic dermatitis. Both products enhance the skin’s ability to restore hydration and help repair the epidermal barrier as part of a dermatologist-recommended daily routine for the management of eczema.
Symptoms of eczema include severe itching, scratching, bleeding skin and sleep disturbance. The most common form of eczema is atopic dermatitis, a disorder of the skin’s immune system that most often appears in infancy. Up to 85% of children are diagnosed with eczema before the age of 5. The discomfort of eczema can be particularly distressing for children who are irritable, want to be held and experience pain while being bathed. Their parents are also affected by the emotional demands these children may have.
“Cetaphil Restoraderm Moisturizer and Body Wash have been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance,” says Julie Block, President & CEO of the National Eczema Association. “The Seal of Acceptance is awarded to products that have been created or intended for use by persons with eczema or severe sensitive skin conditions,” adds Block.

People suffering with eczema and atopic dermatitis lack the production of natural moisturizing factors that serves as a barrier against viruses and bacteria and may have a deficiency in ceramides which hold skin cells together to form a healthy skin barrier. The lack of natural moisturizing factors and ceramides is what may exacerbate eczema and atopic dermatitis symptoms, leaving the skin dry, itchy and painful.
“As the leader in the dermatology category, Galderma is committed to advancing options for the management of eczema and atopic dermatitis and other skin conditions that can have a significant emotional and physical impact on sufferers,” says Francois Fournier, President of U.S. & Canadian operations of Galderma Laboratories.
Cetaphil Restoraderm skin care products work to help restore the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture utilizing exclusive Filaggrin Technology. The Skin Restoring Moisturizer is the only product on the market to contain a unique combination of filaggrin breakdown products and ceramides which help restore natural moisturizing factors in the skin and help rebuild a healthy skin barrier. The Skin Restoring Body Wash contains the unique Miracare technology which works to replenish moisture, restore filaggrin breakdown products and rebuild lipid bilayer during bathing.
Both products are intended to fit into the dermatologist-recommended daily management for eczema. Patients are advised to take lukewarm baths using Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Wash, followed by the application of a Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Moisturizer to the still-damp skin to help retain and replenish the moisture.
Cetaphil Restoraderm products extend the Cetaphil brand into disease-specific collections of products and builds upon a legacy of being the #1 recommended brand of cleansers and moisturizers by dermatologists. Learn more about Cetaphil products and join the Cetaphil Skin Care Club by visiting www.cetaphil.com.

I just started using yesterday and I am impressed that I can already feel a difference in my skin. It feels so much softer than it used to. It is gentle enough that I can use on my face and there isn’t much out there that meets that criteria. Thanks Cetaphil!
