CeraVe Intensive Moisturising Lotion delivers on its promise of deep, continuous hydration. Upon application, its rich yet non-greasy texture absorbs well, leaving skin feeling immediately soothed and supple, not sticky. For individuals experiencing severe dryness, you can expect a noticeable reduction in flakiness and tightness within days of consistent use.
Real-World Applications:
Post-Shower Hydration: Apply liberally to damp skin after showering to lock in moisture, especially on areas prone to dryness like legs, arms, and back.
Targeting Dry Patches: Excellent for specific areas like elbows, knees, heels, and hands that often suffer from extreme dryness and cracking.
Soothing Itch: For itchy skin due to dryness (e.g., in winter or after exposure to harsh elements), a generous application can provide immediate relief and comfort.
Nighttime Repair: Using it as an overnight treatment can significantly improve skin texture and hydration by morning, allowing the ceramides to work effectively while you sleep.
Regular use helps to fortify the skin barrier, leading to long-term improvements in skin health and resilience against environmental stressors. The absence of fragrance makes it comfortable for sensitive individuals, and its non-comedogenic nature ensures it won't contribute to breakouts.
