The CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is a non-foaming, biocompatible emulsion engineered to maintain the skin's surface. Utilizing a Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE) delivery system, the formula provides a sustained release of lipids, including essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) that mimic the skin's natural moisture barrier. This professional-grade approach avoids traditional soap-based stripping agents, utilizing fatty alcohols to dissolve surface debris while Hyaluronic Acid assists in moisture retention. This product is highly tolerated for sensitive skin maintenance, including those undergoing active cosmetic treatments.
User data indicates a high tolerance for reactive skin profiles, though the low surfactant activity may require a secondary step for heavy silicone-based products. The formula is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, prioritizing the integrity of the stratum corneum over aggressive foam.
