Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main ingredients in CeraVe Moisturizing Cream?
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is formulated with a number of skin-supporting ingredients, such as our three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, petrolatum, and dimethicone. This moisturizing formula also contains MVE Delivery Technology, which encapsulates ceramides and hydrating ingredients to ensure efficient delivery within the skin’s barrier and slow release over time (for long-lasting hydration).
Which skin types should use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream?
Most skin types can use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, since this formula is fragrance-free, allergy-tested, and non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog your pores). It’s also been developed with dermatologists and is accepted by the National Eczema Association. Although it can be used by most skin types, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is especially beneficial for those with normal to dry skin.
Can I use this barrier-restoring cream on my face and body?
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream can be applied as a face cream or body cream to help restore the appearance of hydrated, healthy-looking skin. This makes it a convenient skincare option for anyone who prefers formulas that can be used on multiple areas.
What’s the difference between CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion?
These two moisturizing formulas differ mainly in their texture. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream features a rich, yet non-greasy cream texture that makes it ideal for those with normal to dry skin on their face or body. It contains petrolatum, an occlusive ingredient that helps seal in moisture by creating a physical barrier on the skin’s surface. CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion, on the other hand, is designed with a lightweight, oil-free lotion texture that may be better suited for normal to oily skin on your face or body. It contains beneficial ingredients such as glycerin and dimethicone.
Why is a barrier-restoring cream important in my skincare routine?
There are many benefits to incorporating a skin barrier-restoring cream, like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, into your daily skincare regimen. One of the top benefits is our formula’s ability to lock in moisture and help maintain your skin’s protective barrier. This natural barrier (formally known as the stratum corneum) is essential for healthy-looking skin. When functioning properly, the skin barrier works to keep moisture in and irritants out. When your skin barrier is disrupted, it can result in a host of skin concerns (such as dry, itchy skin) and can exacerbate skin conditions like eczema.
What makes this cream different from other moisturizers?
Like many moisturizers, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream helps hydrate and soothe skin, while also helping to reduce dryness. However, the starting point for every CeraVe formula is its unique blend of three essential ceramides. Our moisturizer formula has been clinically tested to lock in moisture and help maintain your skin’s protective barrier. Developed with dermatologists, it also features MVE Delivery Technology that helps release a steady stream of moisturizing ingredients for long-lasting hydration.
How often should I apply CeraVe Moisturizing Cream?
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream can be applied as a face cream twice daily (morning and night), or as needed when your skin is feeling dry. For your body, apply liberally as often as needed. Always apply this product per the directions on the label, or as directed by a physician or dermatologist. To learn more, explore our tips for moisturizing properly in Moisturizing 101.
Do I need a moisturizing cream if I have oily skin?
Oily skin is a skin type that over-produces sebum (oil), which can give the skin a shiny, greasy-looking appearance. This can lead some people to believe that oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer. In reality, oily skin requires just as much moisture as other skin types. When your skin isn’t properly hydrated, it may even cause your skin to compensate by producing more oil. If your skin is oily or acne-prone, we recommend choosing lightweight moisturizer formulas that are labeled “non-comedogenic.” This means the product has been formulated not to clog your pores. For personalized advice on how to moisturize oily skin, consult a physician or board-certified dermatologist. They can assess your skin and offer professional advice on the best products and lightweight moisturizer options for your skin’s needs.
