This CeraVe cream is formulated with three essential ceramides, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP. Ceramides are lipids that are naturally found in the skin. They support a healthy skin barrier and help protect and hydrate the skin.

Skin looking a little dull? If so, adding in a product that exfoliates (aka removes dead skin cells) can help to revive dull, tired skin. The Cetaphil Extra Gentle Daily Scrub is formulated to do exactly that. The formula contains surfactants to remove excess oil, dirt, and impurities while micro-fine granules from bamboo buff away dry, dull skin to support natural surface cell turnover. Plus, the formula is infused with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and panthenol to help maintain adequate moisture levels. The result? Softer, smoother, more radiant skin. Emollient ingredients help to repair the skin barrier function. The skin barrier is composed of dead skin cells held together by a lipid matrix. The key ingredients in this product are ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. You can see from the full ingredients list below that niacinamide is listed second in the ingredients list meaning it’s one of the main ingredients in the product. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and soothes the skin. Vitamin B5, also known as panthenol, is a humectant and supports the skin barrier by helping to reduce transepidermal water loss in the skin.I was excited to see Niacinamide (also known as Vitamin B3) high up in the ingredient list for this product. Niacinamide not only helps to reduce the appearance of dark circles, but also protects the skin from the environment. CeraVe contains sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) to hydrate, while Cetaphil contains olive fruit extract for hydration.

These ceramides support the skin barrier and help the skin retain moisture, making their products perfect for dry skin. Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE) Delivery TechnologyAlpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA): Glycolic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid are most commonly known for their exfoliating properties—i.e., removing dead skin cells—but they also are quite effective at drawing water into the top layer of our skin. So CeraVe set out to develop products with dermatologists that contain three essential ceramides and a patented delivery system to replenish the skin’s natural protective moisture barrier. This fragrance-free body wash is ideal for those with sensitive skin. It is formulated to gently cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture, while delivering nourishing ingredients to help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier. A few of those nourishing ingredients include glycerin, betaine, aloe vera, and panthenol (provitamin B5). Cetaphil’s filaggrin technology sustains hydration levels while contributing to a healthy skin barrier. An absolute classic, the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser is by far one of the most recognizable skincare products on the market. Cetaphil is a drugstore brand that makes sensitive friendly skincare products and a very affordable price point, making them an excellent option for those workhorse skincare products like foaming cleansers and basic moisturizers. The Daily Facial Cleanser is the hero product from Cetaphil that offers users a simple yet effective cleanser that us suitable for use both as part of your morning and evening routine. The ingredients list behind this product is super simple, featuring mainly gentle surfactants to offer that cleansing, foaming action, with a few additional ingredients to create the gel-like texture. This product can be slightly drying for those with already dry skin, so we’d recommend this type of product to those of you with oily or combination skin types that are looking for an easy, no frills, no fuss cleanser that will slot into your existing routine without worry.
