Its formula…

Double action: hydration & exfoliation

SA Smoothing cream from CeraVe is a complete solution to combat dryness and eliminate skin roughness.

For a moisturizing action it is formulated with:

• 10% Urea: It is a natural NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) component, essential for the water holding capacity. It is a humectant active ingredient, with emollient action, moistening and softening the skin. As a result, it makes the skin softer and more hydrated. It also has a fundamental keratolytic action for dry and rough skin, as it breaks down keratin to soften the skin. Urea is present at 10% in this formula.
• Ceramides 1 (reinforces the lipid bilayer), 3 (improves long-term hydration), and 6 II (consists of a natural skin hydration factor):  CeraVe products have a complex blend of natural plant-derived phytoceramides. This unique combination of ceramides, similar to those found in the skin, helps to restore the ideal levels of ceramides in the skin. As a result, they soothe dry skin by reducing water loss from the skin, increasing hydration, and helping repair the skin barrier.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Helps to provide prolonged hydration without blocking pores, contributing to firmer and smoother skin.
• Niacinamide: Plays a key role in soothing and helping to repair the skin barrier. It has calming benefits and has also been proven to have antioxidant properties.

It also contains the powerful MVE Technology (Multivesicular Emulsion Technology). A revolutionary and patented distribution system for active ingredients. A technology that allows the gradual release of active ingredients, which ensures skin hydration for 24 hours.

For an exfoliating action:

The key ingredient of this formula for a gentle, yet effective, exfoliating action: Salicylic Acid. A fast penetrating asset that favors an accelerated and uniform skin exfoliation. By promoting the natural peeling of the skin, salicylic acid helps to loosen dead skin cells, revealing fresh and healthy skin. This mild exfoliation can also help prevent pores from clogging up with dead skin cells, minimizing acne.

This formula also contains LHA. A derivative of salicylic acid with greater tolerability. It acts by imitating the natural peeling of the skin, allowing a cell-to-cell exfoliation. It enhances skin renewal, eliminating the dry and rough appearance and allowing more effective hydration of the skin.
