A gel-cream serum that hydrates for 24 hours and supports the skin barrier
CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a moisturising face serum for all skin types, and ideal for normal to dry skin that needs more water. Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin, while three essential ceramides help restore the skin barrier. CeraVe's MVE technology releases these actives slowly for hydration that lasts up to 24 hours, and vitamin B5 soothes. The result is plumper, smoother, more comfortable skin.
The texture
A fresh gel-cream that absorbs quickly and leaves skin smooth and supple, never sticky. It works alone on normal skin or layered under a moisturiser on drier skin.
Who it suits
- Dehydrated skin that feels tight
- Normal to dry skin in need of a moisture surge
- Sensitive skin, as it is fragrance-free
- Anyone building a simple, barrier-friendly routine
Worth knowing before you buy: On oily skin it may be enough on its own, without a cream on top. It hydrates but does not target wrinkles or dark spots, so pair it with a dedicated active if that is your goal.
How long one bottle lasts
With 2 to 3 pumps morning and evening on the face and neck, the 30ml bottle lasts around 5 to 6 weeks.
