Consumers who prefer gel moisturizers typically have a skin type that tends to be oilier or combination, as these lightweight formulations provide optimal hydration without adding excess heaviness or greasiness to their skin—and Cerave's first-ever gel moisturizer is well-suited to serving their skincare needs.
Cerave's Ultra-Light Moisturizing Gel is packed with the brand's signature ceramides, plus glycerin, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to soothe, support and strengthen the skin barrier. Despite being lightweight, this hard-working gel moisturizer boasts CeraVe’s MVE Technology, Multivesicular Emulsion, which delivers a delayed release of hydration for lasting comfort throughout the day.
This water-based, oil-free formula is refreshing and fast-absorbing, and it will be well-received by those who find creams to be too heavy for their needs.
