Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are ceramides good for your hair?
Yes, ceramides can be beneficial for your hair and scalp. Ceramides are lipids that make up about 50% of the skin's lipids to form the natural skin barrier.1 They help to retain moisture by preventing moisture loss and protecting the hair from environmental damage.1 Some studies have also found that using ceramide products on the scalp can help minimize the symptoms of dryness, including flaking and itching.2
-
Are ceramides good for low-porosity hair?
Low-porosity hair is slow to absorb moisture and quick to experience buildup. Experience the benefits of using ceramides for your low-porosity hair by trying CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Shampoo as a ceramide shampoo that gently cleanses and provides moisture, all while preventing build-up.
-
Can you overuse ceramides?
When using products containing ceramides, it’s necessary to follow instructions directed by the manufacturer. All CeraVe hair formulas are suitable for daily use.
-
What is good for scalp care?
It is important to establish a regular cleansing schedule for your scalp. You should wash your hair at least 1-2 times a week or as needed based on your individual requirements. Additionally, choose a shampoo that targets any specific issues you may have, such as dry hair or an itchy scalp.
If you’re looking to address dandruff and flakes, CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Hydrating Shampoo helps eliminate up to 100% of visible flakes while also reducing itch and irritation without disrupting the scalp barrier.*
*With regular use as a system
-
What is MIT and why do we formulate without it in our CeraVe products?
MIT is Methylisothiazolinone, a synthetic preservative used in consumer products to inhibit bacterial growth. MIT used at certain concentration has been known to cause allergic reactions in some people and we formulate without it for this reason. -
Why do we formulate our products without Fragrance?
Fragrance is often added to products to give them a pleasant scent. But fragrance chemicals can also be irritating and may cause allergic reactions in some people’s skin. Because of this, many dermatologists recommend using products that are fragrance-free. CeraVe products are formulated without fragrance for this reason.
