Are CeraVe products suitable for mature skin? CeraVe offers a range of anti-aging skincare products to support the needs of mature skin. Our gentle, yet effective anti-aging products are fragrance-free and offer a variety of benefits for common aging concerns.
Here's what you can do: Wash with a gentle, fragrance-free, moisturizing bar soap, cleanser, or body wash. Doing so will help soothe rather than dry your skin. Moisturizing ingredients that can help reduce dryness include glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and lanolin.
We can confirm that the CeraVe range is suitable for children aged 3 years and above.
Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe is the #1 dermatologist recommended skincare brand1.
I recommend CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion for daily use on even the most sensitive skin types because it contains no sulfates or fragrance and helps restore and protect dry skin.
Without a doubt, yes. If you're ever unsure of what to use on your skin, regardless of your skin type or condition, turn to Cerave. The brand has products that contain ingredients like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide for treating acne, SPF for sun protection, retinol and vitamin C for anti-aging, and more.
Topical retinoids are a mainstay in reversing thin skin. Multiple studies report improvement of skin atrophy after topical tretinoin was applied to the forearms in photoaged skin of older adults. Topical retinoids have been shown to stimulate epidermal hyperplasia, possibly by inducing HB-EGF.
Since mature skin is naturally dry anyway, most women over 70 who have never used it before will need to avoid the Retin A.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
With its three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream effectively hydrates the skin and restores its protective barrier. A rich, non-greasy, fast-absorbing moisturizing cream developed by dermatologists and suitable for dry skin on the face and body.
Skin reactions such as peeling, itching, irritation, and reddened skin may occur, especially at the start of treatment. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. You may need to apply smaller amounts of the drug or use it less often.
CeraVe recommends applying our Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 to freshly cleansed skin in the A.M., followed by a nighttime moisturizer (such as CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion) before bed to hydrate and help restore your skin barrier throughout the night.
HOW LONG SHOULD I LEAVE A CLEANSER ON MY FACE? A cleanser should be applied to the face for 3-5 minutes, and then rinsed off. Use a clean cloth to pat your face dry.
Overall, there is no clear winner. It just depends on the needs of your own skin. If you experience dry skin, oily skin, acne-prone skin then CeraVe might be the clear choice. However, if you experience sensitive skin the Cetaphil is the better option.
Best Overall: CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Named the best overall by multiple dermatologists we spoke to, this CeraVe lotion does what it's supposed to do—moisturize the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
The brand: You don't need to spend tons of money for effective products that derms love; Neutrogena is touted as the number one dermatologist-recommend skincare product and you can find it at the drugstore.
Use moisturizers, like lotions, creams, or ointments, every day. Take fewer baths or showers and use milder soap. Warm water is less drying than hot water. Don't add bath oil to your water.
As skin ages, increased transepidermal water loss leads to dry skin (xerosis) and reduced barrier function. Dry skin is often itchy and prone to dermatitis. Repeated scratching can lead to chronic wounds and infections, particularly on the lower legs and especially if treatment is delayed.
Washing your face twice daily is just as critical in your 70s as it was in your 40s. Instead of using harsh exfoliating cleansers, which can irritate sensitive skin, choose moisture-rich, creamy ones, says Piliang. Glycolic-based cleansers are still OK, but steer clear of physical exfoliators.
Research has also shown that supplementing with collagen may improve skin health in older adults. A review of 11 studies found that taking 2.5–10 grams of collagen per day orally for up to 6 months improved hydration, elasticity, and collagen content of the skin ( 6 ).
