CeraVe: developed with dermatologists

The observation of the founders of CeraVe: to best treat the problems of dry skin, it is essential to repair and strengthen the barrier function of the skin, made up of 50% ceramides, all day long. Based on this observation, dermatologists have invented a range of treatments enriched with ingredients naturally present in the skin: essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and fatty acids, to help repair the skin.

Ceramides constitute 50% of our skin barrier

Ceramides are lipids naturally present in the skin. They help form the skin barrier and keep the skin hydrated. All CeraVe products are enriched with 3 essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to help restore the skin barrier.

The 3 essential Ceramides selected by CeraVe are essential for healthy skin

A deficiency in ceramides can cause skin problems, such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. UV rays, temperature variations, and age are factors impacting the quantity of ceramides, and can alter the skin barrier, thus contributing to dry skin.

Developed with dermatologists, Cerave products are formulated with a complex of 3 essential Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) naturally present in the skin, and helping to restore the skin barrier.

MVE® Technology encapsulates ceramides and ensures their prolonged release into the skin.

Sources of essential ceramides for the skin, CeraVe products help restore the skin barrier, hydrate the skin and protect it from aggressive factors. 

To restore the skin barrier and regain healthy skin capable of protecting itself from all daily aggressions, CeraVe has selected a unique complex of 3 essential Ceramides (ceramides 1, 3, 6-II) naturally present in the skin, and thus suitable for all skin types, particularly oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin.
