Frequently Asked Questions
Why are ceramides important in CeraVe products? +
Ceramides are lipids naturally found in the skin that help form the skin barrier and retain moisture. CeraVe products contain three essential ceramides to help replenish these lipids, restoring the skin's natural protective barrier and preventing moisture loss.
Is CeraVe suitable for sensitive skin? +
Yes, CeraVe is widely recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin. The vast majority of their products are fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and allergy-tested to minimize the risk of irritation while soothing the skin.
What is MVE Technology? +
MultiVesicular Emulsion (MVE) Technology is a patented delivery system used in CeraVe products. It encapsulates ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid, releasing them slowly over time for continuous, 24-hour hydration rather than a single burst of moisture.
