Lotion Vs Cream with CeraVe

Moisturising is a super important step in your skincare routine, but what is the difference between a lotion and a cream?

Simply, lotions are more lightweight, suitable for normal to dry skin and creams are more thick and rich, suitable for dry to very dry skin.

CeraVe Moisturising Lotion and CeraVe Moisturising Cream have the same formula and offer all these benefits. They do differ in texture though, which may determine when and where you use them.

A good moisturiser not only hydrates the skin, but maintains the skin’s protective barrier and keeps the moisture locked in. A weakened barrier can prevent your skin from regulating its normal moisture level and leave skin feeling tight, dry and often uncomfortable. Hydration is key to skin’s health. CeraVe moisturisers are full of hydrating and nourishing ingredients including 3 essential ceramides. Ceramides are lipids or fatty molocules that help to maintain a healthy skin barrier.

Often when it comes to moisturising, we tend to worry about our face and forget about our bodies. Especially in these colder months, it’s super important we keep our entire skin moisturised. CeraVe moisturisers are quick-drying and will ensure the skin on your body is soft and smooth all over.
