Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is CeraVe suitable for oily and acne-prone skin?
Yes. CeraVe offers several non-comedogenic products, such as the Foaming Facial Cleanser and PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, which are lightweight and designed not to clog pores while regulating the skin's moisture balance.
2. What is the difference between CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and Lotion?
The cream is thicker and contains a higher concentration of petrolatum, making it ideal for very dry skin or areas like elbows and knees. The lotion is more lightweight and better suited for daily use on the face and body for normal to dry skin.
3. Can I use CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser to remove makeup?
The Hydrating Cleanser is excellent for a second cleanse or for removing light daily debris. For heavy or waterproof makeup, we recommend using a dedicated makeup remover or the CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser for a more thorough removal.
4. Why are ceramides so important in skincare?
Ceramides make up about 50% of the skin's natural barrier. Without them, the skin loses water and becomes vulnerable to bacteria and allergens. CeraVe replenishes these lost lipids to restore skin health.
5. Does CeraVe contain fragrance?
No. All CeraVe products are 100% fragrance-free, making them safe for sensitive skin and individuals with fragrance allergies.
6. Can I use CeraVe SA Cream on my face?
The CeraVe SA (Salicylic Acid) Cream is primarily designed for the body to treat rough and bumpy skin. For the face, we recommend the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser, which provides exfoliation in a rinse-off format that is gentler for facial skin.
7. Is CeraVe safe for children and babies?
CeraVe is highly recommended by pediatricians. While they have a dedicated "Baby" line, their standard Moisturizing Cream and Gentle Cleansers are also safe for children due to their mild, dermatologist-tested ingredients.
8. What does "MVE Technology" mean?
MVE stands for Multivesicular Emulsion. It is a delivery system that releases hydrating ingredients slowly over a 24-hour period, providing continuous nourishment rather than a single application effect.
9. Does CeraVe test on animals?
CeraVe does not test its products on animals. However, it is owned by L'Oréal, and like many global brands, it may be sold in countries where animal testing is required by law.
10. How long does a bottle of CeraVe last?
Most CeraVe products have a shelf life of 12 to 24 months after opening. Look for the "Period After Opening" (PAO) symbol on the back of the bottle (an open jar icon with a number) for the exact timeframe.
