Is this lotion suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is formulated to be suitable for sensitive skin. It is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and pH-balanced to minimise potential irritation.
How often should I apply this moisturising lotion?
It is designed for daily use. Apply liberally to dry areas of the body as needed, particularly after bathing when the skin is still damp to help lock in moisture.
Can this be used on the face?
While formulated for the body, CeraVe states it is suitable for use on the face as well, due to its non-comedogenic and gentle formula. However, those with facial skincare concerns may prefer a product specifically designed for the face.
What is the main benefit of the Hydro-Urea™ in the formula?
The 5% Hydro-Urea™ complex acts as a natural moisturising factor, helping to attract and bind water to the skin's surface, supporting long-lasting hydration and improving the skin's ability to retain moisture.
Does it leave a greasy residue?
No, it is described as having a non-greasy texture that absorbs well into the skin, making it comfortable for daily wear under clothing.
What are ceramides and why are they included?
Ceramides are lipids naturally found in the skin's barrier. This lotion contains three essential ceramides (1, 3, and 6-II) to help restore and maintain the skin's protective barrier, which is often compromised in dry skin.
Is this product tested on animals?
CeraVe is certified by Cruelty Free International under the Leaping Bunny programme, meaning it is not tested on animals.
