CeraVe Products
CeraVe may be worth considering for people who want simple skin-care products without added fragrance.
Why consider CeraVe?
Several commonly used CeraVe cleansers and moisturisers are fragrance-free and designed to support the skin barrier.
Many contain ceramides, which help support the skin’s protective barrier, and hyaluronic acid to help retain moisture.
A fragrance-free option may also be easier for people who find perfumes and strongly scented personal-care products difficult to tolerate.
A simple place to start
You do not necessarily need a long skin-care routine.
A simple routine might be:
1. Gentle cleanser
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is designed for normal to dry
skin and is fragrance-free.
2. Moisturiser
CeraVe Moisturising Lotion or Moisturising Cream are
fragrance-free options for dry skin.
Functional capacity
Personal care can become harder when there are too many products, too many steps or products that feel or smell unpleasant.
Using one cleanser and one moisturiser that can be used regularly may reduce decision-making and make the routine easier to repeat.
Some CeraVe products can also be used on both the face and body, which may reduce the number of separate products needed.
ALPIMS idea: simplify the routine before adding more steps.
Sensitive or eczema-prone skin
Some CeraVe products are specifically described as suitable for sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
For example, the Australian CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is fragrance-free and endorsed by the Eczema Association of Australasia.
This does not mean every product will suit every person. Individual ingredients can still cause irritation or reactions.
Things to know
CeraVe has many different products and they do not all have the same ingredients.
Some ranges also contain active ingredients such as salicylic acid or other ingredients that may not suit very reactive skin.
If you have sensitive skin, start with a simple product, introduce one new product at a time and stop if it causes irritation.
