Ceramides are essential in supporting and strengthening the skin barrier
Ceramides, lipids found naturally in the skin, make up 50% of the stratum corneum and are essential in supporting the skin barrier and retaining moisture.
When ceramide levels are low, the skin barrier is weakened, allowing moisture to escape. Ceramide depletion is associated with dermatological conditions you may see in your practice every day, such as atopic dermatitis and acne.1

CeraVe innovationCeraVe developed a revolutionary delivery system, MultiVesicular Emulsion (MVE®) technology, which delivers concentric layers of oil-in-water emulsions. These layers slowly unfold upon application, continually releasing ingredients for the skin to absorb as needed.2
Conventional “burst-release” delivery.
MVE® technology delivers continual release of ingredients over 24 hours so they are fully absorbed into the skin.
