CeraVe Moisturising Cream Tube - 177ml

CeraVe Moisturising Cream is a rich, comforting daily moisturiser designed for normal to dry skin on both the face and body. Despite its cushiony texture, it absorbs without leaving a greasy residue, so it slots easily into your morning and evening routine. This 177ml tube is a handy size for the bathroom shelf or travel bag, and delivers the same much-loved formula as the larger CeraVe moisturising cream tubs. Developed with dermatologists, it pairs three essential ceramides with hyaluronic acid and CeraVe's patented MVE delivery technology to keep skin feeling soft, supple and hydrated. If you want a dependable moisturiser for dry skin that works from face to toe, this fragrance-free cream is a reassuringly simple choice for the whole family.

What sets this ceramide moisturiser apart is its skin-friendly blend of ingredients. Ceramides are lipids that make up much of the skin's outer layer; here, three essential ceramides help restore and support the skin's natural protective barrier, so moisture is better held in and everyday irritants are kept out. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that attracts and holds water, drawing lasting hydration into the surface layers of the skin for a plumper, more comfortable feel. Glycerin adds further moisturisation, while petrolatum acts as an occlusive that helps seal water in. These ingredients are delivered through CeraVe's patented MVE (MultiVesicular Emulsion) technology, which releases them gradually to help skin stay moisturised through the day. For the full INCI list, always refer to the pack.

This is a versatile moisturiser for dry skin that is equally at home on normal, dry and very dry skin. Because it is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic (formulated not to clog pores), it also suits sensitive and blemish-prone skin. It is suitable for eczema-prone skin too, offering rich, barrier-supporting hydration for areas that feel tight, rough or flaky – though it is a cosmetic moisturiser rather than a medicine, so it is not intended to treat any skin condition. Many people looking for CeraVe for eczema-prone skin choose it precisely because the short, gentle ingredient list keeps things simple. Whether you want a nourishing face cream, a hard-working body moisturiser, or one product that does both for the family, it is a strong candidate for the best moisturiser for dry skin.

Apply CeraVe Moisturising Cream liberally as often as needed, or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Smooth a generous amount over clean skin on the face and body, massaging gently until absorbed. For dry and very dry skin it works well morning and night, and it is especially effective straight after showering or bathing while skin is still slightly damp, helping to lock in moisture. You can reapply through the day to hands, elbows, knees and any areas that feel particularly dry. Because the texture is rich yet fast-absorbing, it layers comfortably under sunscreen or make-up on the face. A little goes a long way.

CeraVe Moisturising Cream is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and developed with dermatologists, which makes it a considered choice for those who prefer to keep added perfume out of their routine. As with any new skincare product, if your skin is reactive or prone to sensitivity it is sensible to patch-test first: apply a small amount to the inner forearm and leave for 24 hours before wider use. Avoid the immediate eye area, and use on skin only. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or managing a diagnosed skin condition and are unsure whether it is right for you, your pharmacist can offer guidance.

This product contains petrolatum, a paraffin-based ingredient. Emollients like this can soak into and build up on clothing, bedding, dressings and hair over time. This build-up is not easily removed by washing and can make fabric catch fire more easily when close to a naked flame. To reduce the risk, keep away from fire, flames and cigarettes, and take extra care around open fires, gas hobs and candles. Changing clothing and bedding regularly helps reduce any build-up. This is a standard precaution for all paraffin- and petrolatum-based emollients.
