HOW TO USE CERAVE
Get started with CeraVe by narrowing down your skin type. Considering your skin type can help you to find the very best CeraVe products that will work with your specific skin issues and help to replenish and strengthen your skin’s overall health. Whether you have acne-prone, extra dry or combination skin, there is a specially-formulated CeraVe product for you. - When you’ve picked out the CeraVe products that are formulated to suit your skin type, it’s best to start slowly when introducing them into your routine. Patch test first to double check your skin’s reaction and introduce your new products one at a time over a few days.
- Start your new routine with a cleanser or CeraVe face wash and make sure you’re cleansing your skin twice a day, in the morning and in the evening to kick off your skin care routine. Cleansing not only removes any make up or dirt accumulated throughout the day, but CeraVe cleansers also add hydration back into your skin while the ceramides get to work on improving your skin’s natural protective barrier.
- Follow your cleanser with a CeraVe moisturiser. Choose a moisturiser to suit your skin type and apply a light layer across the whole face and neck. Several of the CeraVe moisturisers are also formulated for your body to offer complete head to toe hydration. During the day finish with SPF or use one of their moisturising lotions instead.
- Finish your routine with a CeraVe serum and eye cream, gently applying using your fingertips, pressing the product softly into the skin.* this step goes before the moisturiser
WHICH IS THE BEST CERAVE MOISTURISER?
Each CeraVe moisturiser is developed using ceramide-rich formulas and work to restore and replenish your skin’s natural protective barrier. The cult-favourite {CeraVe Moisturising Cream} is one of the best-known moisturisers in the collection, designed for dry to very dry skin.
WHICH CERAVE CLEANSER IS BEST FOR ACNE?
The {CeraVe Foaming Cleanser} is a great choice for blemish-prone skin because along with the 3 essential ceramides, the fragrance-free formula also contains niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. These two extra ingredients help to thoroughly but gently cleanse the skin of make up and dirt trapped in your pores without disrupting the gentle balance of your skin.
DOES CERAVE HAVE SPF?
Keep a look out when browsing the CeraVe product range and you’ll see products like the {CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF 25} which contains UV protection. It’s important to always wear SPF during the day as part of your skin care routine so if you choose one of the products that doesn’t contain SPF, remember to also add another SPF product for that essential sun protection.
DOES CERAVE TEST ON ANIMALS?
CeraVe does not test its products on animals but at this time, it is not considered a fully vegan brand.
