CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser was designed to cleanse and refresh the skin without over-stripping it or leaving it feeling tight and dry.

All CeraVe products are formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II)to help maintain the skin’s natural barrier. Ceramides are lipids that make up to ̴50% of the skins lipids to form the natural skin barrier. Ceramides are essentially the glue that holds our skin cells together to keep our skin barrier intact and healthy. A healthy skin barrier helps seal in moisture and seal out harmful elements. Lower ceramide levels are linked to skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. Sun exposure, harsh climates, and age also impact ceramide levels and can compromise your skin barrier function contributing to dry skin. Developed with Dermatologists, CeraVe contains a blend of three essential ceramides that are identical to those found naturally in your skin, helping to replenish your skin's natural lipid levels and restore a healthy skin balance. MVE technology encapsulates ceramides to ensure their continuous delivery to your skin's barrier. By replenishing ceramides where they are most needed, CeraVe helps restore your skin's natural barrier, helping to keep moisture in and harmful elements out. CeraVe has the ceramides your skin needs to help keep you protected. Patented MVE technology that gradually releases the ceramide-enriched formula over an extended period of time. MVE is like a sphere with a series of layers that slowly dissolves, releasing the ingredients into your skin. The product continues to work after it is applied, hydrating your skin all day in just one use.
