#ProductAlert @cerave CeraVe Keeps You Bright and Moisturized from Head to Toe in Winter and is Highly Recommended by #WhomYouKnow

We may not be having any snow this winter, but certainly we have had cold days and the dryness in the air from the heat inside and nasty weather outside have teamed up to do a number on your skin!  We have searched for great solutions and this is a great unisex moisture solver!  These four products from CeraVe keep you looking your best from head to toe.  As you know from our many years of covering this industry, we believe that taking care of your skin in the first place is priority number one and then you can enhance with makeup.  
First, meet the Barrier-restoring moisturizing cream which we feel is a great all-purpose, rich solution.  While a compromised skin barrier can lead to dryness and itching, a moisturizing cream with hyaluronic acid and ceramides can help. By hydrating the skin and restoring its natural barrier, a cream with these ingredients can help those with even dry to very dry skin improve the look and feel of their skin.

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream includes 3 essential ceramides that work together to lock in skin's moisture and help restore your skin’s protective barrier. MVE technology encapsulates ceramides to ensure efficient delivery within the skin’s barrier and slow release over time. Supporting your protective skin barrier, long after you’ve finish applying. Developed with dermatologists and suitable for dry and very dry skin on the face and body, this rich, non-greasy, fast-absorbing moisturizing cream features our patented MVE Delivery Technology to release a steady stream of moisturizing ingredients throughout the day and night. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream with ceramides is fragrance free.  We like this for body.
If you are in a more dire situation, like on your elbows, knees or feet, we recommend using this overnight and putting socks on: Healing balm for cracked, chafed & extremely dry skin.  This is a stronger solution than the first.  Cracked, chafed or extremely dry skin needs special care, and a healing ointment or balm that helps hydrate and soothe the skin can help you get the relief you need. A balm formulated with petrolatum, hyaluronic acid and ceramides provides extra hydration and helps restores the skin’s barrier while helping to temporarily protect and relieve chafed, chapped or cracked skin. When choosing a balm to treat compromised skin, look for one like CeraVe Healing Ointment, which is free from lanolin and fragrance to avoid irritation from these ingredients.

CeraVe Healing Ointment is formulated to temporarily protect, soothe and hydrate skin as it recovers from cracking, chafing and extreme dryness. It is lightweight yet intensely hydrating and features three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid in a moisturizing base. Our balm is also non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types, and free of fragrance, dyes and lanolin to minimize the risk of irritation from these ingredients.
Life can be irritating, but you don't have to put up with it.  Meet CeraVe Itch Relief Moisturizing Cream!  It is great to soothe the itching associated with eczema, dry skin, minor skin irritations, insect bites and, a fast-acting, long-lasting itch relief cream can help. And one that's formulated with ceramides to help restore the skin’s natural barrier, which helps maintain moisture to keep your skin soft.

Created for all skin types, CeraVe Itch Relief Moisturizing Cream is formulated with 1% pramoxine hydrochloride to provide fast-acting, long-lasting, temporary relief from itching caused by dry skin, insect bites, sunburn and minor skin irritations. Developed with dermatologists to soothe eczema related itch, our clinically tested, non-comedogenic itch relief cream has been found to provide relief within two minutes—and last for up to eight hours—and 100% of users experienced relief in clinical studies*. Fragrance-free, steroid-free and, our itch relief cream is formulated with 3 essential ceramides that work together to lock in skins moisture and help restore your skin’s protective barrier. MVE technology encapsulates ceramides to ensure efficient delivery within the skin’s barrier and slow release over time. Supporting your protective skin barrier, long after you’ve finish applying. Suitable for all skin types.

*Clinical study done on 34 subjects. Individual results may vary
Finally, nothing is more important than your face and moisturizing at night seals the deal on the best skin.  This lightweight night cream with niacinamide we found to be a winner!  No matter what your skin type is—even if it's oily—your skin needs moisture around the clock. But it may need other things too—like soothing ingredients, softer texture, and help restoring its natural moisture barrier. Incorporating a rich, yet lightweight night cream—like CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion—into your nighttime skincare routine can provide all those benefits and more.

Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizer is formulated to lock in your skin’s moisture and help restore your skin’s natural barrier, all while you sleep. Adding this oil-free, non-comedogenic night cream to your nighttime skincare routine can help hydrate, calm, and soothe your skin, while also helping to maintain your protective skin barrier. Featuring niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and three essential ceramides, this night cream uses our MVE Technology to deliver a steady stream of much-needed moisture throughout the night, and offers an effective, yet gentle way to care for your normal to oily skin.

History and Company Overview
Our mission is to provide therapeutic skincare for all and we do so by being the first and only brand to offer a complete line of products containing three essential ceramides and patented MVE technology to restore the skin’s natural protective barrier.

Through our early research with dermatologists, we learned that the key components of the skin barrier –ceramides – were deficient in skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and dry skin, which lead to a compromised skin barrier. As a result, skin identical ceramides became the hero ingredient of CeraVe and US researchers partnered with leading dermatologists to help create a line of skincare products designed to help restore and maintain the skin barrier, specifically for those suffering from chronic skin conditions and unable to find a solution. CeraVe began as part of a pharmaceutical company that focused on Dermatology, since our debut, the brand has continued to stick to a formula-first philosophy – prioritizing a valuable product at an affordable price over costly, luxury packaging.

- Where is the brand based?

CeraVe was acquired by L’Oréal in 2017, which has helped to expand our reach and innovation pipeline. As such, CeraVe is based in New York City, but has expanded and is available in more than 35 countries worldwide.

- When did the brand start? What was the first product?

CeraVe was founded in 2005 after significant research and development work with dermatologists and skin experts to develop products that would deliver therapeutic skincare for all. The first three products at the brand’s inception were Moisturizing Cream, Hydrating Facial Cleanser and Daily Moisturizing Lotion.
