Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF 25 (RRP €13 FOR 52ML)

But it also comes with broad spectrum SPF 25 sunscreen which provides protection against UVA and UVB rays. The formulation, most suitable for those with normal to dry skin, spreads easily and dries with an invisible finish.

Moisturising Lotion (RRP €11 FOR 236ML)

Containing the same powerful combination of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin and the MVE delivery system, this lightweight, oil-free formulation is designed for those who prefer to use a lotion rather than a cream.

Facial Moisturising Lotion (RRP €13 FOR 52ML)

An ultra lightweight facial moisturiser, designed to be used under a separate sun protection by day or alone at night, the non-comedogenic formula, ideal for those with normal to dry skin, is rich in ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.

This non-foaming lotion effectively cleanses, hydrates and helps restore the protective skin barrier, thanks to a blend of ceramides, hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Specially designed for normal to dry skin, the soapfree, oil-free formulation is so gentle it can even be used on children (aged 3 years+), gently removing dirt and oil from the skin but thanks to the sophisticated MVE delivery system, also helps to increase skin hydration after just one use. Also available in a 473ml version (€11).

Foaming Facial Cleanser (RRP €10 FOR 236ML)

Created for those who prefer to use a foaming cleanser, but don’t like the tight feeling that can come with it, this soap-free, oil-free cleanser designed for normal to oily skin includes CeraVe’s ceramide complex, along with glycerin and niacinamide and removes excess sebum without disrupting the skin’s protective barrier. Its gentle foaming gel action cleanses and refreshes skin while removing excess oils, dirt and makeup without stripping the skin. Also available in a 473ml version (€13).

 

Reparative Hand Cream (RRP €5.50 FOR 50ML)

Because hands are so often overlooked, but all too often suffer from dryness and irritation or contact dermatitis, the CeraVe hand cream contains the same potent combination of ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, niacinamide and the MVE delivery system that you’ll find in the moisturiser. The result is a non-greasy formula that deeply moisturises dry, cracked hands and helps restore the protective skin barrier.

Eye Repair Cream (RRP €12 FOR 14ML)

Alongside ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin and niacinamide, the CeraVe eye cream contains marine and botanical extracts leaving the area around the eyes looking brighter and more awake. The MVE technology ensures that, while lightweight, this formula offers long-lasting hydration for the delicate eye area, whilst restoring the protective skin barrier. The allergy-tested, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formulation means it is suitable for even the most sensitive of skins. CeraVe, the cult American skincare brand now available in Ireland CeraVe was developed by a board of US dermatologists. The formulators of CeraVe discovered that a blend of humectants, emollients and three specific ceramides help to restore the skin barrier, giving plump, hydrated skin. CeraVe uses a patented technology, known as MultiVesicular Emulsion, Technology (MVE) that gradually releases the ceramide enriched formula over an extended period of time. It’s these two technologies: Ceramides and MVE that give CeraVe its name. The entire range is fragrance-free, paraben-free, allergy-tested and noncomedogenic. CeraVe products are available in Irish independent pharmacies.
