Ceramides are lipid molecules in the stratum corneum of the skin. They create a protective barrier that protects the skin from moisture loss. If ceramide levels decrease, the skin becomes dry, red and flaky. The lack of ceramides is especially acute in the cold season.
Brand funds CeraVe can restore skin elasticity and firmness. They are able to compensate for the lack of ceramides and restore the protective barrier. Thanks to the patented MVE technology, the active substances are gradually released from the product applied to the skin, and the moisturizing effect can last up to 24 hours.
Each CeraVe product contains three ceramides. Face and body creams and lotions will help keep your skin hydrated even in autumn and winter.
