CeraVe Moisturising Cream For Dry To Very Dry Skin - 177ml

CeraVe Moisturising Cream - 24-Hour Hydration for Dry to Very Dry Skin 177ml

Restore and protect your skin's natural barrier with the CeraVe Moisturising Cream - the #1 dermatologist-recommended moisturizer for dry skin. Developed with dermatologists, this rich yet non-greasy formula provides 24-hour hydration for dry to very dry skin on both face and body. Unlike ordinary moisturizers that provide temporary relief, CeraVe actually repairs your skin's protective barrier for long-lasting results.

The secret lies in its patented MVE Delivery Technology, which releases moisturizing ingredients slowly over time, ensuring continuous hydration throughout the day and night. Formulated with 3 Essential Ceramides, this cream doesn't just hydrate - it strengthens your skin's natural barrier to lock moisture in and keep irritants out.

Key Benefits

• 24-hour hydration - MVE Technology provides continuous moisture release
• Restores skin barrier - 3 Essential Ceramides repair and strengthen protective barrier
• Rich but non-greasy - Absorbs quickly without heavy, sticky residue
• Dermatologist-developed - Created with dermatologists for proven results
• Multi-purpose use - Safe for face, hands, and body
• Suitable for sensitive skin - Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formula
• Eczema-friendly - NEA (National Eczema Association) accepted
• Non-comedogenic - Won't clog pores or cause breakouts

Revolutionary MVE Delivery Technology

What sets CeraVe apart is its patented Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE) Technology. Unlike standard moisturizers that release all their ingredients at once (providing only temporary relief), MVE creates a controlled-release system that:

• Encapsulates moisturizing ingredients in multiple layers
• Releases hydration slowly and continuously over 24 hours
• Provides long-lasting moisture rather than just surface hydration
• Ensures skin stays hydrated between applications
• Reduces the need for frequent reapplication
• Maintains optimal moisture levels throughout the day and night

This means one application in the morning keeps your skin hydrated all day, and one at night works while you sleep.

The Power of 3 Essential Ceramides

Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids (fats) that make up 50% of your skin's barrier. They're essential for healthy skin, but environmental factors, aging, and harsh products can deplete them. CeraVe's formula contains:

• Ceramide 1 (EOP): Helps form the skin's protective barrier and retain moisture
• Ceramide 3 (NP): Maintains the skin barrier and helps restore moisture balance
• Ceramide 6-II (AP): Promotes cell turnover and helps repair damaged skin barrier

Together, these three ceramides work synergistically to:

• Repair and restore damaged skin barrier
• Lock in moisture and prevent water loss
• Protect against environmental irritants and allergens
• Improve skin's natural defense mechanisms
• Reduce sensitivity and irritation
• Create smoother, softer, healthier-looking skin

Additional Skin-Loving Ingredients

• Hyaluronic Acid: Powerful humectant that attracts and retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing intense hydration and plumping effect
• Petrolatum: Occlusive ingredient that creates a protective seal on skin to prevent moisture loss, especially beneficial for very dry, cracked skin
• Glycerin: Humectant that draws moisture into skin and helps maintain hydration levels
• Cholesterol: Works with ceramides to strengthen skin barrier and improve moisture retention

Perfect For

Dry to very dry skin, sensitive skin, eczema-prone skin, psoriasis-prone skin, rough or flaky skin, cracked skin, dehydrated skin, mature skin, post-procedure skin care, winter dryness, and anyone seeking a dermatologist-recommended daily moisturizer. Suitable for face, hands, feet, elbows, knees, and entire body. Safe for ages 3 and up, making it perfect for the whole family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this on my face even though it says "face and body"?
Absolutely! This formula is specifically designed to be safe and effective for facial use. Despite being rich, it's non-comedogenic and won't clog pores.

Is this suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
While formulated for dry skin, it's non-comedogenic and can be used by those with combination skin on dry areas. If you have oily skin, try CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion instead.

Will this feel greasy or heavy?
No! Despite being a "rich cream," it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a greasy residue. The MVE Technology ensures it penetrates rather than sitting on the surface.

Can I use this if I have eczema?
Yes! This cream is accepted by the National Eczema Association (NEA) and is specifically formulated to be gentle on eczema-prone skin. The ceramides help repair the compromised barrier common in eczema.

How is this different from CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion?
The Cream is richer and more intensive, ideal for very dry skin and nighttime use. The Lotion is lighter and better for normal to dry skin or daytime use. Both contain the same 3 essential ceramides and MVE Technology.

Can I use this during pregnancy?
Yes! The formula is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always consult your doctor if you have specific concerns.

How long does the 177ml tube last?
With daily face and body use, the 177ml tube typically lasts 1-2 months. For face-only use, it can last 2-3 months.

Is this vegan and cruelty-free?
CeraVe does not test on animals. However, the formula contains cholesterol which may be animal-derived, so it may not be suitable for strict vegans.
