Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects, as well as improves the epidermal barrier function. In fact, niacinamide is one of the most well-studied antioxidants for use in skincare because its small molecular weight enables it to easily penetrate the skin.

The importance of a strong, intact skin barrier can be compared to the importance of having a strong, intact roof on your house. If your roof is damaged or weak, the interior of your home could be damaged by things like rain, wind, or even animal intruders. Similarly, a damaged or weak skin barrier allows things like bacteria, pollutants, or other irritants to pass through the top layers of your skin and cause damage. Ultimately, this leads to common skin concerns such as acne, rashes, and sensitive skin.All CeraVe products, including the CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, contain essential ceramides that your skin needs to help restore and maintain its natural protective barrier. Ceramides are lipids (oils) that are naturally produced by the skin and are vital in supporting the skin barrier as well as retaining moisture. Without ceramides, the skin barrier is weakened, allowing moisture to escape from skin. The result is skin that can easily become dry, itchy, or irritated. Topical application of ceramides on the skin can help to replenish ceramide levels, thus restoring the skin’s natural barrier. CeraVe’s Hydrating Cleanser is suitable for normal to dry skin on the face, body and hands. This soap-free, non-foaming lotion gently cleanse the skin while increasing its hydration.
