A surfactant molecule contains one end that is hydrophilic (attracted to water) and one end that is lipophilic (attracted to oil). This allows surfactants to attract and suspend oils, dirt, and other impurities that have accumulated on the skin and wash them away, leaving the skin clean. I have tried using it to remove make-up, using a flannel to take it off my face once applied, but I find the weightlessness of the formula can’t quite shift my waterproof mascara and fuller coverage foundations, so I often have to go in again to get the bulk of it off my face. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser κρέμα καθαρισμού προσώπου και σώματος αναπτύχθηκε σε συνεργασία με δερματολόγους για να καθαρίζει και να αναζωογονεί το δέρμα χωρίς να το επιβαρύνει και χωρίς να δημιουργεί αίσθηση τραβήγματος ή ξηρότητας.

Χάρη στην τεχνολογία διάχυσης MVE , θρέφει σταθερά την επιδερμίδα καθ’ όλη τη διάρκεια της ημέρας. As I have combination skin, typically I tend to avoid foam cleansers, as they can be quite drying, so I was pleasantly surprised at how rich and creamy the lather felt on my skin. It’s easy to rinse off too, leaving no residue.

Amino acids: Help support skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF), known to attract and retain moisture.​ We recommend this oil-free cleanser because the coconut-based surfactants work into a gentle lather to cleanse skin without stripping the skin’s natural oils.Gently yet effective cleanses and removes dirt, excess oils & makeup, while maintaining the skin barrier Like most cleansers, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser includes surfactants as the key ingredients. For example, this cleanser includes PEG-40 stearate and sodium lauroyl lactylate. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is claimed to do all of the things a normal cleanser would do — remove dirt, makeup, and other debris — but without disrupting the skin’s natural protective barrier or stripping the skin of its natural moisture. It is a non-comedogenic face wash that works well on all skin types, even those with acne-prone or sensitive skin. MVE Technology: This patented delivery system continually releases moisturising ingredients for 24-hour hydration​

In addition to surfactants and ceramides, the only other key ingredient in the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is an excellent ingredient to use for increasing skin hydration because it is able to absorb and hold more water than any other natural substance—up to 1,000 times its weight in water! What is CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser?A healthy skin barrier is crucial for soft, smooth, healthy skin. In fact, you can compare the importance of a strong, intact skin barrier to the importance of having a strong, intact roof on your house. If your roof is damaged or weak, the interior of your home could be damaged by things like rain, wind, or even animal intruders. Similarly, a damaged or weak skin barrier allows things like bacteria, pollutants, or other irritants to pass through the top layers of your skin and cause damage. Plus, a weak barrier also allows moisture to escape from the skin. Ultimately, this leads to common skin concerns such as acne, rashes, and sensitive skin. It’s very lightweight and instantly softening, and no matter how many times I’ve accidentally got it in my eyes, it hasn’t irritated them.

Foaming cleansers can often strip the skin of moisture and leave it feeling dry, as the foaming agents are high in alkaline and can be too harsh, however this latest launch from CeraVe promises to hydrate, something we were keen to put to the test. While in the US, CeraVe offers a long line-up of products, it has a more refined range available in the UK, and the latest launch for us Brits is a cream-to-foam cleanser that promises to remove all traces of dirt, grime and make-up. However, our production of ceramides can become depleted due to ageing and sun damage resulting in dry, rough or even itchy skin. This cleanser works to make dry, textured skin look and feel plump and hydrated within just a few days of use.Without ceramides, the skin’s barrier is weakened, which can lead to dryness, itchiness, and even signs of aging. Topical application of ceramides can help to replenish ceramide levels, thus restoring the skin’s natural barrier.
