Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I wear this under makeup?

A: Yes — Cetaphil Pro Acne Prone Oil-Free Moisturiser SPF25 is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it an ideal moisturising base under makeup. Apply after cleansing and allow to absorb for a minute or two before applying foundation or other products. The oil-free formula helps makeup last longer and reduces shine throughout the day.

Q: Is SPF25 sufficient protection for everyday use in New Zealand?

A: SPF25 blocks approximately 96% of UVB radiation and is suitable for everyday incidental UV exposure such as commuting and daily activities. For extended outdoor activities or sports, a higher SPF (30–50+) applied generously is recommended. New Zealand has high UV levels — sun protection should be a daily habit year-round.

Q: Will this moisturiser make acne worse?

A: Cetaphil Pro Acne Prone SPF25 is specifically formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning it is designed not to block pores or trigger breakouts. It is tested for suitability on acne-prone skin. If you experience new breakouts after starting any new skincare product, discontinue use and consult your pharmacist or dermatologist.

Q: Can Cetaphil Pro Acne Prone SPF25 be used alongside acne treatments?

A: Yes — this moisturiser is designed to complement acne treatment regimens. Many prescription and OTC acne treatments (such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids and salicylic acid) can dry and sensitise the skin; a gentle, oil-free moisturiser with SPF helps maintain skin hydration and protect against sun sensitivity caused by these treatments.
