Skin is an interesting organ… it responds differently to environment, products and what’s happening inside your body.

While I’m a firm believer that your skin is an indicator of how well you take care of yourself, I’m also always on the lookout for products to enhance my skin.

I have dry skin in the winter for the most part but I do have the occasional breakout. Summer means combination skin as well but I still want a light moisturizer with an SPF.

I had the chance to try CeraVe® AM and PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion which helps repair damaged skin and maintain the skin’s natural protective function. It has ingredients such as ceramides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid… and you’re thinking, what does that mean?!

Ceramides help reduce lipid levels in damaged skin to repair, restore, and maintain the skin’s natural barrier as well as reduce redness. Niacinamide helps the skin produce more natural ceramides and fatty acids essential for repairing and restoring the skin barrier. Hyaluronic Acid attracts water to the top layer of the skin and ensures that the skin remains hydrated.

CeraVe is non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn’t clog pores or cause further outbreaks – which is crucial for skin like mine that can change with the seasons (or stresses!) It also has this interesting technology that releases all of these incredible ingredients over time. The CeraVe AM has SPF 30 which helps protect against sun’s damaging UV-aging and UV-burning rays.

All of these ingredients combined make CeraVe a great product for everyday use with the added benefit of sunscreen for daytime. It is not scented or greasy and feels light on your skin and it absorbs well. It’s not easy to find ceramides in this price range so CeraVe is very affordable. You don’t need the latest expensive age defying cream anymore for great looking skin!

CeraVe PM facial moisturizing lotion softens skin during the night and didn’t cause any T-zone breakouts. It feels smooth when I apply it to my skin and absorbs nicely without leaving a greasy feel behind.

Both CeraVe AM and PM penetrate deep into the skin to hydrate and nourish all day and night long!

CeraVe® is the first brand to contain the essential ceramides, cholesterol and fatty esters that healthy skin needs, delivered through a patented controlled-release MVE® system over 24 hours. The daily regimen of cleansers and moisturizers helps repair, replenish and protect the skin barrier to leave your skin looking and feeling soft, clean and healthy.
