Brand note
Drugstore skincare built around ceramides for barrier repair.
CeraVe is the dermatologist-backed drugstore line that focuses on barrier repair with ceramides across cleansers, moisturizers, and now hair care. The PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion is a standout for oily combo skin — lightweight, non-greasy, and well-tolerated even by niacinamide-sensitive folks. The brand tends to be fragrance-free and gentle, but some products (like the Healing Ointment) can be too thick or sticky for certain uses, and the anti-dandruff line contains fragrance.
