FAQs
Are ceramides good for sensitive skin ?
Ceramides are a beneficial addition to daily skincare routines and are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. They are mild and help address irritation, redness, inflammation, and sensitivity. Ceramides support skin health by maintaining the skin's moisture barrier, and pairing them with ingredients like hyaluronic acid can further benefit sensitive skin types.
Are ceramides safe to use on skin ?
Ceramides are safe for all skin types, as they are naturally produced by the skin. However, since ceramide production declines with age, it is crucial to replenish them through skincare products to maintain skin health. Products containing ceramides, such as those with ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II, are particularly effective.
What are the benefits of ceramides for skin ?
The key benefits of ceramides include:
What are the types of ceramides for skin ?
There are various types of ceramides, but the essential ones found in skincare products include ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II. These are naturally present in the skin and play a crucial role in maintaining its protective barrier.
Are ceramides good for mild eczema-prone skin ?
Ceramides are ideal for mild eczema-prone skin, as they help combat irritation, inflammation, redness, and itchiness. Since ceramide levels decrease with age, topical application through cleansers, moisturizers, and serums helps restore balance and support the skin barrier.
What does "fragrance-free" mean ?
Fragrance-free indicates that a product does not contain any added fragrances, reducing the likelihood of irritation, especially for sensitive skin.
What are ceramides ?
Ceramides are lipids naturally present in the skin, essential for locking in moisture, keeping irritants out, and maintaining the skin's barrier. A decrease in ceramides can lead to dryness, irritation, and other skin issues.
What is a fully physical sunscreen ?
Physical sunscreens work on the skin's surface to deflect UV rays, unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb them. These sunscreens are particularly suitable for sensitive skin types and often provide a lightweight and clear finish.
What happens to skin when ceramides are depleted ?
When ceramides are depleted, the skin may experience dryness, cracking, and increased susceptibility to irritation, inflammation, and allergen penetration.
What is the skin barrier ?
The skin barrier is the outermost layer of the skin, composed of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids. It retains moisture while preventing allergens and toxins from entering. A reduction in ceramides compromises this protective layer, leading to dryness and irritation.
Are CeraVe products tested on animals ?
No, CeraVe products are not tested on animals.
Are CeraVe products non-irritating ?
CeraVe products are non-irritating and fragrance-free. Many of their products are also non-comedogenic. However, individuals with specific sensitivities are advised to consult a dermatologist.

What is MVE Technology ?
MVE (Multivesicular Emulsion) Technology allows key ingredients in CeraVe products to be released slowly over time, providing hydration and nourishment for up to 24 hours while maintaining the skin's protective barrier.
How did the CeraVe brand begin ?
