CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Lotion

Editor's Take
CeraVe earns the intensive label here, with more barrier-minded substance than the average body lotion, though the synthetic footprint keeps it from an easy clean-beauty win.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.2 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 7.0 / 10
- Clean Standards: 7.6 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 7.1 / 10
The Verdict
competent efficacy comes from Hydroxyethyl Urea, shea butter, and three ceramides supporting dry, compromised skin. Strong clean credentials are notable for such a rich lotion, though Dimethicone and persistent polymers make sustainability merely mixed. The modern cationic base helps the lipids deposit well without turning the formula into empty treatment theater. A credible pick for stubborn body dryness and barrier support.
