A rich, fragrance-free balm that repairs the skin barrier on face and body
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (sold in France as Baume Hydratant) is a rich moisturiser for dry to very dry skin on the face and body. Developed with dermatologists, it contains three essential ceramides (1, 3 and 6-II) that help restore the skin's protective barrier, plus hyaluronic acid to attract and hold water. CeraVe's MVE technology releases these ingredients gradually, so the skin stays hydrated for up to 24 hours after one application. The formula is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and gentle enough for sensitive, eczema-prone skin and for the whole family.
The texture
A thick, white cream that feels rich in the jar but melts in quickly once massaged in. It leaves a soft, protected feel without a greasy shine, even on the face.
Who it suits
- Dry to very dry skin on the face, body, hands and feet
- Skin prone to eczema, flaking or tightness
- Babies, children and adults who share one moisturiser
- Anyone who wants a large, economical family size
Worth knowing before you buy: The texture is rich, so oily or acne-prone faces may prefer the lighter CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. It contains petrolatum, which some people choose to avoid.
How long one tub lasts
Used once a day on the body by one person, a 454g tub lasts about six to eight weeks. The refill pouch lets you top up the same tub.
