Essential Hydration. Restored Skin Barrier. Dermatologist-Developed.

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion is the dermatologist-developed, clinically proven daily moisturizer that has earned its place as one of the most recommended skincare products by dermatologists worldwide — trusted by millions for its effective, no-nonsense approach to skin hydration and barrier repair. This 88ml size is the perfect introduction to CeraVe's iconic formula, ideal for travel, on-the-go hydration, or trying the product before committing to a larger size. Formulated with three essential ceramides (ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II) and hyaluronic acid, CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion replenishes the skin's natural protective barrier, locks in moisture, and delivers long-lasting hydration that keeps dry, rough, or sensitive skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortable all day. Unlike many moisturizers that simply sit on top of the skin, CeraVe’s MVE (MultiVesicular Emulsion) technology releases moisturizing ingredients in a controlled, time-released manner throughout the day, ensuring continuous hydration rather than a single burst that fades within hours. Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and suitable for sensitive skin — CeraVe is skincare you can trust, every day.

Suggested Use

Apply to clean, dry skin on the face and/or body as needed, morning and evening or whenever skin feels dry or tight. Dispense a small amount and smooth evenly over the skin using gentle, circular motions until fully absorbed. CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion can be used as a standalone daily moisturizer or layered under sunscreen in the morning and over serums or treatments in the evening. Suitable for daily use on the face, hands, arms, legs, and body. Avoid contact with eyes. Suitable for adults and children. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Key Features

• Three Essential Ceramides (1, 3 & 6-II): Ceramides are lipid molecules that make up approximately 50% of the skin’s outer barrier — the stratum corneum — where they form a protective, water-resistant layer that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and shields skin from environmental aggressors, irritants, and pathogens. When this barrier is compromised — by harsh cleansers, weather, aging, medical conditions like eczema or psoriasis, or simply not moisturizing enough — skin becomes dry, sensitive, reactive, and prone to irritation. CeraVe’s formula contains the specific ceramides (1, 3, and 6-II) that are most critical for barrier function, replenishing what is lost and restoring the skin’s natural protective capacity
• Hyaluronic Acid — Deep Moisture Binding: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the skin capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water — making it one of the most effective humectants in skincare for drawing moisture from the environment into the skin and binding it within the skin’s layers. CeraVe’s inclusion of hyaluronic acid complements the ceramide barrier repair by simultaneously attracting and retaining moisture within the skin’s structure, providing both immediate plumping hydration and ongoing moisture retention throughout the day
• Patented MVE Time-Release Technology: What sets CeraVe apart from conventional moisturizers is its patented MVE (MultiVesicular Emulsion) delivery system — a micro-encapsulation technology that surrounds active moisturizing ingredients in concentric layers that gradually break down over time, releasing a steady supply of ceramides and hyaluronic acid throughout the day. This controlled-release mechanism provides continuous hydration rather than the short-lived moisture surge of traditional moisturizers that must be reapplied frequently, making CeraVe genuinely effective for all-day hydration with a single morning application
• Sensitive Skin-First Formulation: CeraVe was founded on the principle that effective skincare should be gentle enough for the most sensitive skin types — including eczema-prone, post-procedure, and reactive skin. The Moisturizing Lotion is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and allergy-tested, with a minimal, clinically rational ingredient list that prioritizes efficacy and tolerability over fragrance, texture additives, or marketing ingredients that can cause irritation. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it will not clog pores or contribute to breakouts, making it appropriate for use on both the face and body across all skin types
