CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 89 mL - Brand New

The CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 is the daytime half of CeraVe's routine, an 89 mL oil-free lotion that hydrates and screens broad-spectrum UV in a single application. It is built so sunscreen stops being the step you skip on a rushed morning: the protection is already in the moisturizer you were going to put on anyway, and the texture is light enough to sit under makeup without pilling or leaving a chalky cast.

What separates it from a plain sunscreen is what CeraVe puts underneath the filters. Three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide work on the skin barrier itself, replacing the lipids that hold moisture in rather than just adding water to the surface. The brand's MVE delivery system releases that hydration gradually through the day instead of all at once, which is what the all-day hydration claim on the carton actually refers to. Niacinamide, vitamin B3, helps calm the redness that comes with dryness.

The Canadian label carries DIN 02410923 and lists homosalate, meradimate, octinoxate, octocrylene and zinc oxide as its medicinal ingredients, giving broad-spectrum SPF 30 cover against both UVA and UVB. It is recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association for sun protection, and the pack is the bilingual English and French Canadian bottle with a pump. The formula is oil-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and allergy-tested, developed with dermatologists for skin that reacts to most of what is on the shelf.

Key Features

• Broad-spectrum SPF 30: screens both UVA and UVB rays, so the daily moisturizer doubles as the sunscreen step of your routine.
• Three essential ceramides: ceramides NP, AP and EOP help restore and maintain the skin's protective barrier rather than sitting on top of it.
• Hyaluronic acid: draws water into the upper layers of the skin, which is what takes the tightness out after cleansing.
• Niacinamide: vitamin B3, included to help calm the redness that tends to come with dry, reactive skin.
• MVE technology: CeraVe's controlled-release system, spreading hydration across the day instead of front-loading it.
• Oil-free and non-comedogenic: will not clog pores, which matters for a product you wear under makeup every day.
• Fragrance-free and allergy-tested: no perfume in the ingredient list, so it layers cleanly over acids or retinol used at night.
• Canadian Dermatology Association Recognized: the CDA sun protection seal is printed on the Canadian pack.

How to Use It

Cleanse first, then apply liberally to the face and neck each morning, 15 minutes before sun exposure. Smooth it over the whole face rather than dotting it, since a sunscreen only delivers its rated protection at an even, generous layer. Reapply as needed through the day, especially after swimming, sweating, towel drying or washing your face. It works on its own or as the last step over a CeraVe cleanser and serum, and it sits comfortably under foundation once it has absorbed.
