CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is one of the most widely dermatologist-recommended moisturizers globally for dry, very dry, and eczema-prone skin. Developed in collaboration with dermatologists, it is built around three ceramides that are identical to those in the human skin barrier - Ceramide 1, 3, and 6-II - and delivers them using MVE (MultiVesicular Emulsion) technology that releases the moisturizing ingredients gradually over 24 hours rather than all at once. The 453g tub provides exceptional economy for whole-body daily use.

Benefits
- Ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II are the three ceramides most critical to the structural integrity of the skin's protective lipid barrier - replenishing them in skin where they are deficient (as in eczema, dry skin, and ageing skin) directly restores the barrier's ability to retain moisture and resist environmental irritants
- MVE technology encapsulates the moisturizing ingredients in multiple layers of vesicles that release over 24 hours as each layer breaks down, providing continuous rehydration of the skin throughout the day from a single application rather than the single peak-and-trough moisturization of conventional cream formulas
- Hyaluronic Acid holds up to 1000 times its weight in water in the skin surface, providing a reservoir of moisture that prevents the skin from drying between moisturizer applications
- The 453g tub represents the best cost-per-gram available in the CeraVe range and is particularly economical for patients who need to moisturize the entire body twice daily as part of eczema management or dry skin treatment protocols
- Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic formulation makes it appropriate for the most reactive skin types - the patients who need the most intensive moisturizing are also the most likely to react to fragrances and potential skin-barrier disruptors in their moisturizer
How to Use
- Apply to the face, body, or hands as needed
- Use generously - CeraVe is designed for liberal application, particularly in eczema management where moisturizer quantity is as important as frequency
- Apply to slightly damp skin after bathing to seal in moisture
- Use morning and evening, or up to 3 to 4 times daily in very dry or eczema-affected skin
- The large tub format makes it practical to keep at multiple locations - bathroom, bedside, kitchen - to encourage the frequent reapplication that chronically dry skin requires
- Store in a cool place - scoop with a clean spatula or wash hands before reaching into the tub to prevent contamination
