Developed in collaboration with dermatologists, CeraVe Hydration-First Water Gel is a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturiser designed to deliver deep and long-lasting hydration while supporting the skin’s natural barrier. Its refreshing gel texture sinks effortlessly into the skin, providing up to 72 hours of moisture and helping the complexion appear smoother, plumper and more revitalised. Ideal for daily use, the formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and dehydrated skin, offering a comfortable, non-greasy finish that layers well under sunscreen and makeup.

At the heart of the formula is CeraVe’s signature blend of three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Ceramides help restore and maintain the skin barrier, hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture for lasting hydration, and niacinamide helps soothe the skin while improving overall tone and comfort. Together, these ingredients work to support a balanced, calm and healthy-looking complexion from the very first use. Clinically tested results show that skin feels more balanced within one week of consistent use.
