CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion (12 fl oz)

The Intensive Moisturizing Lotion is a specialized, fast-absorbing formula developed specifically for those with dry to very dry skin. Developed with dermatologists, this 12 fl oz (355 mL) treatment provides continuous hydration to help restore the protective skin barrier. Unlike standard lotions, this “Intensive” version is designed to relieve the itch and discomfort associated with extreme dryness.

Why Use the CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion?

If your skin requires more than basic hydration, the Intensive Moisturizing Lotion offers a medical-grade solution. It contains a potent 5% Hydro-Urea concentration, which acts as a powerful humectant to draw moisture into the skin while gently exfoliating dead cells. This product is also enriched with shea butter and natural moisturizing factors to provide immediate comfort. You can discover this advanced treatment and others in our online shop.

The Power of 5% Hydro-Urea and Ceramides

The effectiveness of the Intensive Moisturizing Lotion lies in its unique ingredient synergy. Urea is a well-documented gold standard for treating severely dry skin. According to research on the dermatological benefits of Urea, a 5% concentration significantly improves skin hydration levels and barrier function. When combined with CeraVe’s signature three essential ceramides, the formula not only adds moisture but ensures it stays locked within the skin.

Key Ingredients & Active Benefits

• 5% Hydro-Urea: Continuously hydrates and relieves itch due to dryness.

• 3 Essential Ceramides: Help restore and maintain the natural protective skin barrier.

• Shea Butter: Provides an extra layer of nourishment and softness.

• Natural Moisturizing Factors: Mimic the skin’s natural ability to retain water.

How to Apply Your Intensive Moisturizing Lotion

For optimal results, apply the Intensive Moisturizing Lotion liberally to the face and body as often as needed. Because it is a fast-absorbing formula, it is perfect for use during the day or at night without leaving a sticky residue.
