Ceramides are lipids (oils) which make up 50% of the skin’s natural barrier, meaning they are vital in keeping the skin barrier strong. Low ceramide levels can result in a weakened skin barrier, allowing moisture to escape and potential irritants to enter. CeraVe formulas contain three skin-identical ceramides, Ceramides 1, 3, 6-II, therefore replenishing what is already found naturally within the skin. Discover CeraVe’s range of cleansers and moisturisers which help maintain and protect the skin’s natural barrier.
