CeraVe Ultra-Light Face Lotion/Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen (SPF 30) for Daily Use, 1.7 Oz

Product Information

The “SA” in the name of this product stands for salicylic acid, a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA). Salicylic acid helps to restore skin smoothness because it has the ability to dissolve keratin, the protein that acts as a “glue” to keep dead skin cells together in the stratum corneum. This is effective because dead skin cells can build up on the surface of your skin, leaving it looking dull and feeling rough. The main differences between this CeraVe face lotion and the body lotion are that this formula includes niacinamide and it comes in a smaller size (2.5 fl oz). Every item in the brand's 90 product portfolio is based on a blend of three essential ceramides (1, 3 and 6-II), hence its name. The brand also boasts a delivery system it calls "MultiVesicular Emulsion Technology (MVE) ... that gradually releases our ceramide-enriched formula over an extended period of time." CeraVe products are also pH-adjusted to "align with the physiologic, natural acidic state of our skin surface," Dr. Li adds. In simple terms, the skincare lineup works with your skin to help to improve tolerability, comfort and compatibility.
