I am a strong believer in making sure my skin routine is always followed. I also make sure that I change my skin routine to reflect the changes in the season. When it comes to your most basic skin care routine, moisturizers and cleansers are essential. Cleansers eliminate excess oil, makeup, sweat, dirt and dead skin cells from your skin while moisturizers and lotions should enhance your skin’s natural moisture barrier, help retain water, and fend off chronic dryness.
Choosing which cleansers and moisturizers to use, however, is a bit more complex because there are so many brands out there with different ingredients that fit into different price ranges. We know it’s overwhelming to find products that maintain healthy, hydrated skin without breaking the bank. I found that CervaVe provided a wide range of products that can help you upgrade your skin routine. I got a chance to try some of the new products and wanted to share my thoughts with you. If you are like me you are going to want to run out and stock up.
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
A hydrating cleanser can for remove dirt, makeup and other debris. It’s important to choose a formula that won’t disrupt the skin’s natural protective barrier or strip the skin of its natural moisture. CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser is a gentle face wash with ingredients like ceramides which reinforce the barrier and help the skin lock in moisture, along with hyaluronic acid that attracts hydration to the skin’s surface.
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser was developed with dermatologists to cleanse and refresh the skin without over-stripping it or leaving it feeling tight and dry. Featuring three types of essential ceramides to restore the skin’s barrier and hydrating hyaluronic acid, this non-comedogenic face wash is an effective yet non-irritating way to start off any skincare regimen for normal to dry skin — and it uses MVE Delivery Technology to supply the skin with a steady stream of nourishment throughout the day and night.
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser is my go-to cleanser for my sensitive skin. I like using it after removing my makeup with a makeup wipe. The CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser is wonderful for my skin as it leaves it feeling soft without stripping my skin oils. Start by using warm water to wet the face first and then apply the lotion style cleanser. Work it throughout your face in for thirty seconds or less and then rinse. My skin has never felt more hydrated and moisturized!

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
A compromised skin barrier can lead to dryness and itching — and aggravate skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. A moisturizing cream can help reinforce the skin barrier with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, or a ceramide cream that replenishes essential skin barrier components.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream acts as both by effectively hydrating as it helps restore the skin’s protective barrier. Developed with dermatologists and ideal for dry and very dry skin on the face and body, this rich, non-greasy, fast-absorbing moisturizing cream features patented MVE Delivery Technology to release a steady stream of hyaluronic acid and three essential ceramides throughout the day and night. Suitable for sensitive skin, this oil-free and fragrance-free ceramide cream also help the skin hold on to moisture while improving its look and feel.
It should be readily understood that daily moisturizing is vital for skin health. You moisturize your skin not just by the lotions and creams you use, but also by drinking plenty of water. I drink at least 8 cups of water a day! Our skin is our largest organ, and it requires regular attention to stay young and healthy. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is perfect for my dry, eczema-prone skin as it provides around the clock hydration as it helps to restore my skin’s natural barrier.

Only CeraVe® uses the patented MVE technology to enable a steady release of ingredients, including essential ceramides, over an extended period of time to help restore the skin barrier. This unique technology creates spheres of skin-nourishing components, which slowly unfold, layer by layer, upon application. With this continual release, skin can absorb the ingredients as needed.
- Free of fragrance and oil, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and non-irritating, CeraVe® Moisturizing Cream is gentle on skin; it is ideal for normal to dry skin.

Application Tips:
Mineral-based UV filters form a protective barrier to help reflect UV rays away from the skin’s surface. Because the ingredients in a mineral sunscreen stay on the surface of the skin to help protect it, a white cast can sometimes remain after applying the product. Follow these tips to apply your mineral sunscreen:
1. Dispense a small amount to one palm and rub your hands together.
2. Apply to one area of the body at a time and thoroughly massage into the skin.
3. The formula should spread easily without leaving a greasy residue or feel.
All sunscreens should be applied liberally for sun protection. It is essential to use any sunscreen product as directed.
