Intensive Moisturising Cream​

Average rating includes incentivized reviews

Dry skin can feel itchy and uncomfortable all over, but the right moisturising cream can help restore the look and feel of hydrated skin. CeraVe Intensive Moisturising cream helps to relieve and defend against five key signs of dryness—itching, tightness, roughness, scaling/flaking, and redness or discoloration due to dryness. This fast-acting body cream penetrates through the skin’s surface to intensely hydrate without leaving behind any greasy or sticky residue. It’s also formulated to help strengthen the skin barrier, which is often compromised in those with dry to extra-dry skin. CeraVe Intensive Moisturising Cream features a formula with three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and 5% Hydro-Urea (a blend of natural moisturising factors). The formula features MVE Delivery Technology, which gradually releases moisturising ingredients for up to 72-hour long-lasting hydration. It’s also allergy-tested, fragrance-free, pH-balanced, and suitable for all skin types (even sensitive skin). For best results, use this cream for very dry skin daily for noticeably smoother, softer, and healthier looking skin​

  • What are the main ingredients in CeraVe Moisturising Cream?

    CeraVe Moisturising Cream is formulated with a number of skin-supporting ingredients, such as our three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, petrolatum, and dimethicone. This dry skin moisturiser also contains MVE Delivery Technology, which ensures continuous, efficient delivery of the formula for long-lasting hydration. (Pro tip: Dive deeper into the skincare benefits of each of these skincare stars by heading to our Ingredients page.)

  • Which skin types should use CeraVe Moisturising Cream?

    Most skin types can use CeraVe Moisturising Cream due to its gentle formula, which is fragrance-free, allergy-tested, and non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog pores). It's also been developed with dermatologists. That said, this moisturiser with ceramides can be especially beneficial for those with normal to dry skin.

  • What's the difference between CeraVe Moisturising Cream and CeraVe Daily Moisturising Cream?

    The main difference between these two moisturisers with ceramides is their texture. CeraVe Moisturising Cream features a rich yet non-greasy cream formula ideal for those with normal to dry skin on their face or body. It contains petrolatum, an occlusive ingredient that helps seal in moisture by creating a physical barrier on the skin's surface. CeraVe Daily Moisturising Lotion, on the other hand, is designed with a lightweight, oil-free formula that may be better suited for normal to oily skin on your face or body. It also boasts beneficial ingredients such as glycerine and dimethicone.

  • What makes this moisturising cream different from other dry skin moisturisers?

    Like many dry skin moisturisers, CeraVe Moisturising Cream helps hydrate and soothe skin, while also helping to reduce uncomfortable dryness. However, what makes all of CeraVe formulas special is their unique blend of three essential ceramides. Our moisturiser with ceramides was developed with dermatologists and clinically tested to help ensure it effectively locks in moisture and helps restore and maintain your skin's protective barrier. Our moisturising cream also features MVE Delivery Technology to help

  • Do I need a moisturising cream if I have oily skin?

    Oily skin is caused by an overproduction of sebum (oil), which is what can give it a shiny, greasy-looking appearance. But that doesn't mean that oily skin doesn't need moisturiser too. In fact, oily skin requires just as much moisture as other skin types. Plus, not moisturising oily skin can actually be counterproductive. When skin isn't properly hydrated, it may overcompensate and produce even more oil. So, it's usually best to be strategic about which type of moisturising cream you choose. For oily or blemish-prone skin, we recommend choosing a lightweight moisturiser with ceramides that's "non-comedogenic," which means it won't clog your pores. Try CeraVe Daily Moisturising Lotion, a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser with three essential ceramides. It also helps lock in your skin's moisture and restore your protective barrier.

  • What causes dry skin?

    Dry skin, which affects most of us at some point in our lives, can have many possible causes. It can be influenced by both internal and external factors, including low humidity, cold weather, certain skin conditions or illnesses, and taking excessively long, hot showers. A board-certified dermatologist can help identify the root cause(s) of your dry skin, as well as recommend the best products for dry skin to help you restore the look of hydrated, smooth, more comfortable-feeling skin.
