CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion (89ml) is a staple in many skincare routines, primarily because it focuses on barrier repair and hydration without a heavy or greasy feel. It is formulated specifically for evening use, though it can be used during the day if paired with a separate SPF.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

The effectiveness of this lotion comes from its “holy trinity” of skincare ingredients:

• Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II): These are essential lipids that help restore the skin’s natural barrier.

• Hyaluronic Acid: Acts as a humectant to retain the skin’s natural moisture.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps calm the skin, reduces redness, and improves overall texture.

• MVE Technology: A patented delivery system that releases moisturizing ingredients over time for all-night hydration.

Product Features

Comparison: CeraVe AM vs. PM

While the PM version is quite versatile, it differs significantly from its daytime counterpart:

• Sun Protection: The AM version contains SPF 30, whereas the PM version has no sun protection.

• Weight: The PM lotion is generally lighter and absorbs faster than the AM version, which can sometimes feel thicker due to the zinc oxide or chemical filters.

• Niacinamide: While both often contain niacinamide, the PM version is specifically marketed for its soothing, “restorative” properties while you sleep.

How to Use

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and oils.

2. Apply: Use a pea-sized amount and apply to the face and neck.

3. Layering: It works well over active serums (like Retinol or Vitamin C) as it helps soothe potential irritation.

Note: If you have exceptionally dry skin, you might find this lotion too light on its own during winter months and may prefer the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (the one in the tub).
