Cult fragrance-free skincare brand CeraVe launched in the UK just few months back. CeraVe is a huge drugstore brand in the US developed with Dermatologists with a blend of three essential ceramides (ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II), fatty acids, and other lipids to help repair and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. The range is the kinder, gentler alternative to Cetaphil.
The top layers of your skin are only healthy when they contain around 50% ceramides. CeraVe products are pocket-friendly source of ceramides that are essential for skin barrier. All CeraVe products are fragrance-free and are suitable for sensitive skin.
CeraVe works on MultiVesicular Emulsion Technology (MVE), which releases moisturizing ingredients over the course of 24 hours, layer by layer, to help keep skin soft all day long.
CeraVe currently offers over 70 products delivering skincare products for all. However, people in the UK will have access to some of the products initially and others will follow.
Features
- Ceramides 1, 3 and 6-II
- Niacinamide: helps restore the protective barrier and soothe the skin.
- Hyaluronic acid: helps keep skin hydrated.
- Non-comedogenic: does not clog pores.
- Fragrance-Free and non-drying formula: suitable for sensitive skin.
Products you should try
- Hydrating Cleanser (for Normal to Dry skin) | £9 for 236 ml
This deeply hydrating makeup remover soothes and revitaises dry skin. The cleanser expertly sweeps away dirt, excess oil and impurities without stripping away moisture from the skin. The cleanser uses Hyaluronic Acid to strengthen and restore the natural barrier function for long-lasting hydration. The cleanser is suitable for both Adults and Children.
- Foaming Cleanser (for Normal to Oily skin) | £9 for 236 ml
Unlike your regular foaming cleanser, this one will not dry out your skin. The luxurious gel transforms into a weightless foam which sweeps away dirt, excess oil and impurities whilst maintaining the strength of the natural barrier function.
A potent blend of three essential ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid works to replenish vital hydration, whilst Niacinamide soothes any irritation. Expect a calm, clear and revitalised complexion. This fragrance-free, non-comedogenic cleanser is suitable for normal to oily skin types.
- Moisturising Lotion (for Dry to Very Dry skin) | £9 for 236 ml
This lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser that effectively hydrates skin whilst helping to restore the skin’s natural barrier. The lotion quenches dry, dehydrated skin and soothes irritation-prone skin (eczema, atopic dermatitis etc.). This milky lotion utilises patented MVE® delivery technology to help drive the benefits of three essential ceramides and skin-plumping Hyaluronic Acid deep into skin for round the clock hydration. The lotion is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin and can also be used on children.
- Moisturising Cream (for Dry to Very Dry skin) | £14.50 for 454 gms
This fragrance-free cream moisturises and helps restore the protective skin barrier of the face and body. Its light and non-greasy texture, enriched with 3 essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, provides hydration throughout the day and from the first application. The cream although rich is so lightweight that it won’t clog pores and will absorb quickly giving a velvety feel. I use this for healing dry spots/patches on my face (combination sensitive skin) to restore hydration quickly. I also apply this cream all over my body (dry skin) to make my skin soft, supple and hydrated throughout the day.
The best way to use this is apply on wet skin just after shower so the hydration can be locked into the skin for longer.
- Facial Moisturising Lotion (for Normal to Dry Skin) | £12 for 52 ml
This lightweight and silky face cream provides up to 24 hours of hydration. Helping to strengthen and restore the natural skin barrier to prevent moisture loss, the lotion uses three naturally occurring ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid to soothe any sensitivity and leave skin calm, comfortable and ultra-healthy.

Pump packaging ensures easy dispense. The lotion is suitable for Normal to dry skin.
- Reparative Hand Cream (for Extremely Dry, Rough Hands) | £5.50 for 50 ml
lightweight and silky face cream that defends the complexion against the damage caused by UV rays. Helping to strengthen and restore the natural skin barrier to prevent moisture loss, the lotion uses three naturally occurring ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid to soothe any sensitivity and leave skin calm, comfortable and ultra-healthy.
- Eye Repair Cream | £11 for 14ml
This eye cream targets dark circles, puffiness around the delicate eye area and banishes signs of fatigue. The fast-absorbing and non-greasy formula melts quickly into skin, controlling the release of ingredients to help repair and restore skin’s protective barrier. The eye cream visibly reduces the look of dark circles and puffiness to leave the eye contour looking brighter and smoother. This eye cream is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.
If you have not tried anything from the brand yet, you should have them on your skincare radar. These products are easily available via Boots, Look Fantastic and Feel Unique in the UK.

Beautiful photos. I have sensitive skin and prefer fragrance-free skincare products. Good that these won’t cost an arm and a leg. I will check these out. Thanks for sharing.
I need to get some of these for my teenage daughter.
CeraVe is great but I haven’t used it in forever!!

CeraVe sounds like a good startup brand. I would have chosen foaming cleanser for my oily skin!

I have been using the tub moisturiser on my son’s skin and it does wonders. I need to buy hydrating cleanser for myself. Great photography and composition.
The cleanser sounds great and it’s suitable for my skin type, I prefer cleansers that don’t dry my skin. I have been wanting to try this brand since forever! x

I’ve used their foaming cleansers and loved it. Whenever my relatives come down from the states I make sure they get some cera products for me. I love the way you have discussed everything in details and pictures are beautiful.
I had no idea about ceramides – so thank you for this post!! thee look like the kind of products we should try!
The top layers of our skin are only healthy when they contain around 50% ceramides. Now this was a completely new fact for me, even I am hearing this word ceramides for the very first time. Thanks Ash, you always share the best of information with your readers. The products seem really good, I will surely check them out.
What excites me the most is the hand cream! A cult favourite US brand’s hand cream has to be the best! I have really dry hands! Would love to try it!
Came across your post at the right time as my sis in coming down from London and now I can add a few products from CeraVe to my to-get list!!!
That’s quite an advanced emulsion technology hydrating the skin layer by layer. Quite intrigued as the cleanser can be used for both children and adults.
The product sounds appealing. Esply for someone who lives in a metro the city pollution penetrates leaving the skin unhealthy. This formula that penetrates the skin layer by layer sounds good. Wanna get my hands on the cleanser tho.
I learn so many new things about skincare from your posts these days. And hopefully I’ll try out CeraVe products some time soon
I always love personally fragrance free product as I have a sensitive skin… This is perfect for me.. will definitely try this one
The products sounds good for skincare regime. The mosturizing cream looks Effective, love that it’s fragrance-free cream moisturises and helps restore the protective skin barrier of the face and body.
