CeraVe Moisturising Cream for Body and Face with Pump Dispenser Cream for Dry to Very Dry Skin with Hyaluronic and 3 Essential Ceramides 454 g

Product Information

I noticed that in the United Kingdom the CeraVe Moisturising Lotion is recommended for “Dry to Very Dry Skin” whereas in the United States the same product is recommended for “Normal to Dry Skin”. Although the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion is recommended for dry skin, I feel that it could be used by all skin types. Ceramides make up 50% of the outer layer of our skin, and help to form a barrier to protect your skin from the environment. As we age the amount of ceramides in our skin decreases and this can result in drier skin, wrinkles and fine lines.

It’s also been developed with dermatologists and is accepted by the National Eczema Association. Although it can be used by most skin types, CeraVeMoisturizing Creamis especially beneficial for those with normal todry skin. CeraVeMoisturizing Creamis formulated with a number of skin-supporting ingredients, such as our three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, petrolatum, and dimethicone. To learn more about the skincare benefits of each of these ingredients, head to Ingredients in CeraVe. This moisturizing formula also contains MVE Delivery Technology, whichencapsulates ceramides and hydrating ingredients to ensure efficient delivery within the skin’s barrier and slow release over time (for long-lasting hydration).Oily skin is a skin type that over-produces sebum (oil), which can give the skin a shiny, greasy-looking appearance. This can lead some people to believe that oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer. In reality, oily skin requires just as much moisture as other skin types. When your skin isn’t properly hydrated, it may even cause your skin to compensate by producing more oil. MVE Technology: This delivery system continually releases moisturizing ingredients for 48-hour hydration—supporting your protective skin barrier, long after you’ve finished applying.

CeraVe is a dermatologist-developed cult skincare brand which hails from the US. The CeraVe story began in 2005 after experts noticed that many skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dry skin all had one thing in common: a compromised skin barrier. So far we were writing about ceramides in plural. It's because there are lots of different ceramides, a 2014article writes that currently 12 base classes of ceramides are known with over 340 specific species.Chemically speaking, ceramides are the connection of a fatty acid and a sphingoid base and both parts can have different variations that result in the different types of ceramides.This rich, CeraVe Moisturising Cream is formulated with essential ceramides to protect and repair the skin's natural barrier, whilst providing all-day hydration. Developed with dermatologists, this face and body moisturising cream is suitable for dry to very dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin. What Are Ceramides? The CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion is a lightweight and oil free moisturizer. For this reason it would suit not only dry skin, but also work well on oily or combination skin. Acne Prone Skin Our current one, Ceramide 1, or morerecently called CeramideEOP, was the first one that was identified in 1982 and it's a special snowflake. It contains the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid and has a unique structure. It's believed that ceramide 1 plays a "binding role" in the lipid layers of the extracellular matrix. Along with ceramides 4 and 7, they also play a vital role in epidermal integrity and serve as the main storage areas for linoleic acid (a fatty acid that's alsovery important for barrier repair).

Ok, so now we know what ceramides are, let's see what they do in our skin: research shows clearly that they play a super important role in keeping the skin barrier healthy and the skin hydrated. If ceramides in the skin are decreased, more water can evaporate from the skin and there is less water remaining in the skin. So ceramides form kind of a "water-proof" protecting layerand make sure that our skin remains nice and hydrated. Now the question is only this: If we put ceramides all over our face do theywork as well as ceramides already naturally in our skin? Well, the answer is probably a no, but they do work to some extent. The BeautyBrains blog made a fantastic article about ceramides and they have listed a couple of examples about studies showing that ceramides - especially when used in certain ratios with cholesterol and fatty acids - do hydrate the skin and can help to repair the skin barrier.
