Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the main ingredients in CeraVe Moisturising Cream?
CeraVe Moisturising Cream is formulated with a robust profile of skin-identical and hydrating ingredients designed to support the skin barrier. The core formulation includes:
- 3 Essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): These lipids are vital for maintaining the skin’s natural barrier and retaining moisture.
- Hyaluronic Acid: A humectant that attracts hydration to the skin’s surface.
- Petrolatum: An occlusive agent that forms a protective seal over the skin to lock in moisture.
- Dimethicone: A skin-conditioning agent that helps improve skin texture and softness.
- MVE Delivery Technology: A patented delivery system that ensures the gradual release of these ingredients for continuous hydration throughout the day.
-
Which skin types should use CeraVe Moisturising Cream?
While CeraVe Moisturising Cream is suitable for most skin types due to its gentle, fragrance-free, and allergy-tested formula, it is specifically engineered for normal to dry skin and very dry skin. Because it is non-comedogenic (meaning it will not clog pores), it is safe for use on acne-prone skin that requires hydration without heaviness.
-
Can I use CeraVe Moisturising Cream on my face and body?
Yes. This versatile moisturiser is formulated for application on both the face and body. It is effective at restoring the appearance of hydrated, healthy-looking skin across large areas (like legs and arms) as well as delicate facial skin. Its non-greasy finish ensures it absorbs quickly, providing comfort without leaving a sticky residue, making it suitable for morning application under makeup or evening use.
-
What’s the difference between CeraVe Moisturising Cream and CeraVe Daily Moisturising Lotion?
The primary distinction lies in texture and the ratio of occlusive ingredients, catering to different skin needs:
- CeraVe Moisturising Cream: Features a rich, thick cream texture containing higher levels of petrolatum. It is ideal for normal to dry skin that requires a robust physical barrier to seal in moisture.
- CeraVe Moisturising Lotion: Offers a lightweight, fluid, oil-free formula. It is generally better suited for normal to oily skin types that need hydration without the heavier feel of a cream. It relies more heavily on glycerin and dimethicone for a lighter finish.
-
What makes this moisturising cream different from other dry skin moisturisers?
While many moisturisers hydrate the skin surface, CeraVe stands out due to its focus on barrier biology. The unique blend of three essential ceramides is identical to those found naturally in the skin, allowing for effective restoration of the protective barrier. Additionally, the inclusion of MVE Technology differentiates it from standard creams by providing a controlled, steady release of hydration rather than a single burst, ensuring the skin remains moisturised for up to 24 hours.
-
How often should I apply CeraVe Moisturising Cream?
Application frequency can be tailored to individual skin needs. Generally, it is recommended to apply the cream liberally as often as needed, or at least twice daily (morning and evening). For optimal results, apply the cream immediately after showering or washing your face, while the skin is still slightly damp, to lock in hydration.
