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 dry skin moisturizer also contains MVE Delivery Technology, which ensures continuous, efficient delivery of the formula for long-lasting hydration. (Pro tip: Dive deeper into the skincare benefits of each of these skincare stars by heading to our Ingredients page.)
-
Which skin types should use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream?
Most skin types can use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream due to its gentle formula, which is fragrance-free, allergy-tested, and non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog pores). It’s also been developed with dermatologists and is accepted by the National Eczema Association. That said, this moisturizer with ceramides can be especially beneficial for those with normal to dry skin.
-
Can I use this barrier-restoring moisturizing cream on my face and body?
Yes. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream can be applied anywhere to the skin on your face and body to help restore the appearance of hydrated, healthy-looking skin (as well as the comfort that goes along with it).
-
What’s the difference between CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Cream?
The main difference between these two moisturizers with ceramides is their texture. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream features a rich yet non-greasy cream formula 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 formula that may be better suited for normal to oily skin on your face or body. It also boasts beneficial ingredients such as glycerin and dimethicone.
-
Why is a barrier-restoring moisturizing cream important in my skincare routine?
Your skin’s natural moisture barrier (formally known as the stratum corneum) is essential for healthy-looking skin. When it’s functioning properly, it plays a vital role in helping to keep moisture in and irritants out. However, if it becomes disrupted, it can cause a whole slew of skin issues (including dry, itchy skin) and even cause chronic skin conditions, such as eczema, to flare up. That’s why incorporating a skin barrier-restoring moisturizer with ceramides, like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, into your daily skincare regimen can be a smart step to help both repair and maintain your skin’s delicate protective barrier.
-
What makes this moisturizing cream different from other dry skin moisturizers?
Like many dry skin moisturizers, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream helps hydrate and soothe skin, while also helping to reduce uncomfortable dryness. However, what makes all of CeraVe formulas special is their unique blend of three essential ceramides. Our moisturizer with ceramides was developed with dermatologists and clinically tested to help ensure it effectively locks in moisture and helps restore and maintain your skin’s protective barrier. Our moisturizing cream also features MVE Delivery Technology to help release a steady stream of moisturizing ingredients for long-lasting hydration.
-
How often should I apply CeraVe Moisturizing Cream?
We’ll leave that up to you! You can apply our gentle, fast-absorbing, non-greasy Moisturizing Cream as little as twice daily (morning and night) to your face and body, or as needed whenever your skin is feeling dry. To help gain more moisturizing savviness, explore some of our top tips in our article Moisturizing 101.
-
Do I need a moisturizing cream if I have oily skin?
Oily skin is caused by an overproduction of sebum (oil), which is what can give it a shiny, greasy-looking appearance. But that doesn’t mean that oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer too. In fact, oily skin requires just as much moisture as other skin types. Plus, not moisturizing oily skin can actually be counterproductive. When skin isn’t properly hydrated, it may overcompensate and produce even more oil. So, it’s usually best to be strategic about which type of moisturizing cream you choose.
For oily or acne-prone skin, we recommend choosing a lightweight moisturizer with ceramides that’s “non-comedogenic,” which means it won’t clog your pores. Try CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion, a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer with three essential ceramides. It also helps lock in your skin's moisture and restore your protective barrier.
-
Which CeraVe moisturizing cream should I use for my baby’s skin?
To help care for and protect your baby’s delicate skin, we recommend CeraVe Baby Moisturizing Cream. This gentle, lightweight baby lotion was developed with pediatric dermatologists to deliver three essential ceramides and help maintain your infant's skin barrier as it develops. Formulated with vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, our Baby Moisturizing Cream is non-greasy and free of parabens, dyes, and fragrance. To learn more about how to care for your baby’s skin, browse our tips and advice on caring for baby's delicate skin. And keep in mind that if your little one develops dry skin as they grow into toddlerhood, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream can be used on kids ages 3 and up!
