Boost Your Skin Barrier with Ceramides
The QV Ceramides range is scientifically formulated with a triple Ceramide formula to help support your skin’s function. Discover frequently asked questions and answers below to help find the ideal QV Ceramides moisturising cream and lotion for your skincare needs.
Why are moisturising creams and lotions containing Ceramides beneficial to use?
Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that act as intercellular ‘mortar’ within the outer layer of skin1. Ceramides can be thought to be like a natural glue that holds skin cells together, forming a protective barrier. Ceramides make up to 50% of the lipid composition within the stratum corneum (outer layer of skin) and as such play a significant role in the skin’s barrier function1. Ceramides act like your skin’s personal shield, protecting against water loss, keeping skin hydrated and healthy. As we age, ceramide levels drop.
What is the main difference between the QV Ceramides Cream and QV Ceramides Moisturising Lotion?
The QV Ceramides Cream has a more rich and thicker consistency and offers more intensive moisturising, ideal for drier skin areas. While the QV Ceramides Moisturising Lotion offers a more lightweight consistency that absorbs more readily in skin. Both offer 24 hour hydration with a triple Ceramides formulation (EOP, NP, AP) and Niacinamide to support skin barrier function.
Are the QV Ceramides Moisturising Lotion and QV Ceramides Cream suitable for use under makeup?
Yes, both of the QV Ceramides Moisturisers are appropriate to be used as a base under applied makeup. The non greasy formulations absorb into skin well, making application with hydrated skin ideal. Apply your preferred QV Ceramides Moisturiser after cleansing, and allow a few minutes for it to fully absorb into skin before proceeding with your makeup application.
What types of skin types are suited to the QV Ceramides Moisturising Cream and Lotion?
With their rich, triple moisturising formulations designed to keep your skin barrier well hydrated, both products are suitable for most normal to dry skin types, as well as those experiencing very dry skin that needs revitalisation. QV Ceramides skincare products are non comedogenic, fragrance and colour free, as well as pH balanced. Individuals with sensitive, eczema-prone and acne-prone skin can also benefit from usage.
Can I apply both of the QV Ceramides Moisturisers to both the face and body?
Yes, both can be applied to both the body and face. Their versatility makes them ideal to use regularly as part of your skincare routine.
How often can the QV Ceramides Moisturisers be used?
Both the QV Ceramides Cream and QV Ceramides Lotion are formulated to be used daily, with morning and evening applications for hydrated skin. We recommend applying moisturisers following body and face cleansing in the morning and evening.
